Prospective students will have a personal interview with a member of the Registration Office Staff. The interview is important in assisting the school and the applicant in clarifying the suitability of a program for the individual participant. Applicants who indicate an interest in skills training and other related services will be given an orientation to the school and to the services available through the program.

International Development Institute’s AI Assistant provides general information about the School and its published programs. You do not need to provide your name or create an account to ask questions.

You may delete your conversation at any time by selecting Delete Chat in the chat window. This removes the conversation from the School’s chat system, which does not create archived or duplicate copies.

If you do not delete it yourself, your conversation automatically expires 24 hours after it is created and is deleted through the scheduled cleanup process. Sending additional messages does not extend this period.

The AI Assistant does not request personal information, documents, or file uploads. Please do not enter Social Security numbers, payment card details, identification documents, medical information, passwords, or other sensitive information. Documents required for admission must be submitted through the School’s designated procedures, not through the chat.

The AI Assistant provides information after you give consent. It does not make admission decisions, enroll students, or replace a licensed school agent. Consult a licensed school agent about enrollment requirements and agreements. This chat policy does not change the School’s obligations concerning official student or enrollment records under applicable requirements.
