Community Life is pleased to open the registration to the Community Arabic Program (CAP) for Spring 2019.

Upon receiving the confirmation of enrollment, please make your cash payment at the Harbor Sports Club (HRC) reception on or before the first day of your class. Last day of payment will be Monday, March 4, 2019.
