				  94909 of the Code and all of the
				  following:
(1) The specific beginning and
				  ending dates defining the time period covered by the catalog;
(2) A statement of the institution's missions
				  and purposes and the objectives underlying each of its educational
				  programs;
(3) If the institution
				  admits students from other countries, whether visa services are provided or
				  whether the institution will vouch for student status, and any associated
				  charges;

				  English language proficiency required of students and the kind of documentation
				  of proficiency, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), that
				  will be accepted; and

				  English language services, including instruction such as ESL, are provided and,
				  if so, the nature of the service and its cost;
(5) Whether any instruction will occur in a
				  language other than English and, if so, the level of proficiency required and
				  the kind of documentation of proficiency, such as the United States Foreign
				  Service Language Rating System, that will be accepted;
