Every attempt is made to plan activities which are either free or very low-cost. Evaluation-Progress Reports N.I.C.E. students are evaluated at the middle and end of each term. They are evaluated on the basis of attendance and performance in class. They are given reports on their progress in general English proficiency, in the various skill areas, as well as on areas such as participation, motivation, and effort. All students who meet the program standards for performance and attendance receive a University of Hawaii certificate of completion on the last day of the session at a special graduation program.
Students participate in the program by making speeches and providing entertainment.
Computer Labs N.I.C.E. students have access to several computer labs on campus, including the Manoa Multi-Media Lab, which is run by the Summer Sesion office. Teachers frequently make use of these facilities for class activities that require audio-visual support. Campus Facilities N.I.C.E. students are issued an I.D. card which gives them access to campus facilities. Students are welcome to use the libraries and computer labs, student health services, cafeterias, on-campus movie theaters, and athletic facilities, such as pool, weight rooms, tennis courts, and gymnasiums.
