Post-Program Requirements

After you finish the CLS Program, you must complete several tasks before achieving alumni status. Post-program requirements include:

  • A CLS Post-Program evaluation survey (during the program you will also be required to complete a mid-program evaluation survey).
  • A post-program Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) language test.

All post-program requirements must be completed in order to receive your CLS certificate of completion, your OPI scores, transcript for academic credit (if credit was requested), and certificate of non-competitive eligibility for federal employment. You also need to complete these requirements in order to be eligible for CLS alumni activities or grants.
