Registration and Application Process

The next Examinations for all levels will be held in Gainesville, at especially arranged premises in the University of Florida:. 

Level A: Wednesday 14 May (morning)
Level B: Wednesday 14 May (afternoon)
Level C: Thursday 15 May (morning)
Level D: Thursday 15 May (afternoon)

Registration for the examinations will take place between February 1 and March 24, 2008. No applications can be accepted before or after these dates. 

The registration fee for Levels A and B is 65 Euro (=95 Dollars), and for Levels C and D is 75 Euro(= 110 Dollars). Checks should be made payable to the K. Kapparis, and may be sent in Euros or US Dollars. 

(Note: Please note that in the past few years the amount which the Greek Language Center charges has remained the same. Unfortunately for US based candidates, the unfavorable exchange rate from Dollars into Euros has been forcing us to increase the fee every year for those who pay in Dollars. Neither the Greek Language Center (KEG) nor the University of Florida view the certification process as a commercial enterprise. These charges are minimal and simply intended to pay for the administrative costs of the Certification process.)

What documents are needed:
Registration for the examination must comply with certain rules set by the Greek Language Center (KEG). The candidate will need to submit the following: 
 

1. Application form
2. Questionnaire (PAGE 1,   PAGE 2,   PAGE 3)
3. Formal Proof of ID (Namely: a phococopy of photo ID).
4. A check with the appropriate registration fee in Euros or US dollars. (See above)
        Checks should be made payable to: Center for Greek Studies

OPTIONAL MATERIALS

IF YOU WANT TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAMINATION YOU CAN ORDER FROM THE GREEK LANGUAGE CENTER THE QUESTIONS OF PREVIOUS EXAMS (The following two forms are not required as part of the registration process. Whether you obtain the previous exams questions or not is optional, albeit highly recommended). :

Here are the two forms necessary for this:
Catalogue 
Order form

You would need to consult the Catalogue and once you decide which materials you want, print the order form and send, with the necessary check, it to the Greek Language Center. 

It would be adviseable to do so well ahead of time. Checks in Euro would ensure the quick processing of your order. If you find it difficult to make a check in Euro, you could send an official check from your bank in Dollars, but in that case please make sure that you take into account the correct exchange rate, and allow for bank fees.
