 AYA
monitors your school performance and quarterly grades. You are subject
to the same academic and social rules as American students in the
school. Teachers and guidance counselors are asked to contact your
AYA Local Coordinator and host family immediately
if problems arise.
To remain in good standing in the program, a student must enroll
in an appropriate English language or literature course and an American
Studies course, and maintain a "C" or better average in
all classes.

always including an English language/literature course and an American
history/government course.
Transcripts
Students must request transcripts before they leave the United States.
In some cases, schools may award you a certificate of attendance,
or a diploma if you have completed all the necessary courses for
graduation (and if they decide to accept courses you took in your
home country school toward your diploma). The AYA program cannot
guarantee diplomas or graduation.
