Welcome to the
Show yoUr Potential! (SUP!)
Language Exchange Program (LEP)
The SUP! Language Exchange Program matches you with a Language Exchange Partner so you can learn from each other. (Free of charge!)
Our Language Exchange Program is expanding!
Our most recent session was our biggest yet!
Our next SUP! LEP is AY 2024 Spring Semester (Sep 12, 2022 ~ Dec 23, 2022)
Pay attention to the dates and procedures in red below!
Initial Registration, Program Enrollment Procedures and Matching (September 12 ~ October 7)
Enrollment
Modifications
Each semester, many interesting students from around the world sign up for language exchanges. After the initial enrollment period has ended, applicants can see what languages are being offered that session and then add/change their list of languages they'd like to learn.
Matching
After all of the final language modifications are in, the matching process will take place. While the goal of this process is to create many LEP partners, we want to accommodate each applicant's preferences as much as possible.
Administrative Procedures (October 7 ~ October 15)
Notification
Applicants will be notified by email when the matching results are announced. The mail will be sent to your official school address, so ensure that you are able to receive messages at that address.
Announcements
The matching results will be announced here. You can check your matching results once you receive the notification.
Partner Contact
Participants will contact their new partners and arrange their study plan as well as the time and location for their first meeting.
Session and Post-Session Procedures (October 17 ~ December 23)
Sessions
Participants will meet their new partners at their pre-arranged time and location for their first exchange session.
Re-matching
A second matching procedure only for participants who lose a partner due to unforeseen circumstances during the first two weeks of the program. If you've lost a partner and would like to be re-matched, please contact the SUP! Coordinator before Oct 28th.
