These terms apply to everyone who applies to, studies at or teaches at Umran Language Academy (“the Academy”), a programme of Umran Green School, an initiative of Umran Green Perspective Foundation. By submitting an application you agree to these terms.
1. UGS Language Fellowship (learners)
- Eligibility. Applicants must be 15 years of age or older. Learners of all nationalities are welcome.
- Application fee. A one-time application fee of ₹100, plus a small payment processing charge, is payable when applying. The fee is a contribution towards the platform the Academy provides — the application and exam system, student portal, records and certificates. It is not a tuition fee, and it is non-refundable.
- Entrance exam. Applicants sit a short online entrance exam using their application number. Qualified applicants are awarded the UGS Language Fellowship.
- What the fellowship covers. The fellowship covers tuition for the Academy’s courses (levels A1 to B2.2) for as long as the learner meets the progression requirements below.
- Progression. To move to the next level a learner must attend at least 75% of sessions (18 of 24) and pass the level exam (50% or above). No fee is charged for progression.
- Repeating or rejoining. A learner who does not meet the requirements, or who leaves and wishes to return, may re-apply by paying the application fee again.
- Batches and schedules. Batches are allocated by language, level and teacher availability. The Academy may merge, reschedule or postpone batches, and a language marked “Coming soon” may not run in a given term.
2. UGS Teaching Fellowship (teachers)
- Eligibility. Graduate, postgraduate and PhD students of languages and literature, and language professionals, may apply. Selection is based on the application, a demo teaching video and an online conversation.
- Commitment. A Teaching Fellow teaches one batch for a full 12-week term: 24 sessions of 90 minutes. Fellows follow the Academy curriculum and assessment plan, record attendance and marks in the portal, attend the orientation, accept mentoring and class observation, and arrange a make-up class within two weeks for any missed session.
- Nature of the fellowship. The Teaching Fellowship is an honorary academic fellowship with responsibilities. No stipend, salary or other payment is provided. It is not employment and does not create an employer–employee relationship.
- What fellows gain. Teaching practice with real learners; training, guidance and mentoring; experience in designing a syllabus and course materials; experience in setting and conducting exams and oral assessments; continued learning of the language; and a platform to contribute to accessible education.
- Recognition. On completing the term, fellows receive a UGS Teaching Fellowship certificate stating their teaching hours. The Academy will provide letters of recommendation on request for fellowships, admissions, jobs and other applications, and continues to support its fellows after the term.
- Withdrawal. A fellow who must withdraw should give at least two weeks’ notice so the batch can continue. The Academy may end a fellowship for misconduct or if the commitment is not met.
3. Boards, committees and sustaining the platform
- Umran Language Academy is a shared, non-profit platform. Learners and teachers are both beneficiaries and contributors.
- Each school is led by a Head of Department who chairs a faculty board of UGS Teaching Fellows. Learners are encouraged to form a student committee for each school.
- Boards and committees collaborate to organise practice clubs, language groups, cultural events and peer support, and help the Academy sustain and improve the platform.
- Participation in clubs and committee activities is voluntary and community-led. The Academy’s code of conduct applies to all such activities.
4. Classes and conduct
- Classes are held live online. Learners and teachers are expected to be punctual, prepared and respectful.
- Harassment, discrimination, hateful or abusive language, and sharing other participants’ personal information are not permitted and may lead to removal from the Academy.
- Classes may be recorded for learning and quality purposes. Recordings are shared only with the batch and are not published without consent.
5. Certificates and their validity
- A digital certificate is issued for each level completed, stating the level, grade and class hours. UGS Teaching Fellows receive a certificate stating their teaching hours.
- Certificates are issued only when attendance and assessment requirements are met.
- Academy certificates confirm the training completed and the level achieved at Umran Language Academy. They are not official proficiency qualifications and are not equivalent to exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, DELF, Goethe-Zertifikat, DELE, HSK, JLPT or TOPIK.
- The Academy does not claim or guarantee that any university, employer, embassy or government body will accept its certificates. Recognition is entirely at the discretion of the receiving institution.
6. Payments and refunds
Payments are processed securely by Razorpay. Application fees are non-refundable, including where an applicant does not qualify in the entrance exam, withdraws, or does not meet attendance requirements. The only exceptions are a duplicate payment made by mistake, or the Academy cancelling a course before it begins; in those cases the fee is refunded to the original payment method.
7. Donations
- Donations are received by Umran Green Perspective Foundation (PAN AACCU6231G), registered under Section 12A (URN AACCU6231GE20251) and approved under Section 80G (URN AACCU6231GF20251) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and registered for CSR activities (CSR00102659).
