239. 9:05not five days from when your program
240. 9:07starts so if you come early to travel a
241. 9:09little bit you still need to validate
242. 9:12your program within five days of your

249. 9:25month we will send you an email telling
250. 9:27you that something we call a monthly
251. 9:30monetary questionnaire is ready for you
252. 9:32to complete
253. 9:33those questionnaires are very easy just
254. 9:35three or four questions
255. 9:37but they're extremely important they are
256. 9:40a department of state requirement and if
257. 9:42you don't complete those on time when we
258. 9:44send you the email it is a violation of
259. 9:46your program so do you understand the
260. 9:48importance of completing those monthly
261. 9:50monitoring questionnaires
262. 9:52yes i understand i will check my email
263. 9:55all time
264. 9:57beautiful that was my next point is that
265. 9:59email access is important so if
266. 10:01something happens to the device you use
267. 10:03to check your email like let's say you
268. 10:05use your phone to check your email and
269. 10:07you lose your phone in the united states
270. 10:10you need to find a way to check your
271. 10:11email until you get a replacement phone
272. 10:13now most of the host employers have
273. 10:15computers and they know that it's
274. 10:17important for the students to check
275. 10:18their email so you could just go to your
276. 10:20manager or supervisor and tell them i've
277. 10:22lost my phone and i need to check my
278. 10:24email do you have a computer i can use
279. 10:26or you can ask your roommate or fellow
280. 10:28participant if you can borrow their
281. 10:30phone to check your email if the if you
282. 10:32just cannot check your email then just
283. 10:34call gec to make sure that we're not
284. 10:36trying to get a hold of you okay so do
285. 10:38you understand and about the importance
286. 10:41of having email access while you're in
