Dear Regional Peer Mentor (RPM) Semifinalist,

The World Health Organization has declared that COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic. Due to its capacity to transmit from person-to-person through respiratory droplets, the government of Uzbekistan has applied and enforced recommendations, guidelines and some prohibitions to which American Councils for International Education strictly adheres to and complies by.

American Councils has put in place recommended preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during any and all English Speaking Nation (ESN) activities including the administration of the TOEFL ITP test. In order to be successfully admitted to the testing site, please make sure to arrive at the registration desk already wearing a medical mask and medical gloves at the test center.

American Councils would like to inform you that by attending the TOEFL ITP test you are voluntarily assuming the risk that you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death.

By attending the testing you voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregone risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to yourself including, but not limited to, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that you may experience or incur in connection with your attendance at the TOEFL ITP test.

American Councils for International Education will conduct due diligence and adhere to social distancing policies, enforced public health guidelines, and, to a reasonable accommodation, ensure that safety and security of all RPM semifinalists is the utmost priority for the project.


Kind Regards,

The ESN Team
