University policy - университетская политика (зд. линия поведения). It's the Institute policy to give scholarships to those students who get only high grades. What's your teacher's policy about missing classes?

To acquire the language and the culture - усваивать язык и культуру.

Otherwise - иначе, по-другому. Put on your coat, otherwise you'll get cold. Let's run, other­wise we'll be late.

Guys - разг. парни, ребята.

Folks - разг. ребята.
