Your NSA
If this is your first academic quarter, schedule your New Student Appointment with your assigned advisor at the IP office. Your advisor will help you plan your education at GRCC and answer any questions you have. If you fail to complete your appointment by the 8th week of the quarter, you registration account will be blocked. Yikes!
Dropping Classes
There has been a major change in the process for dropping a class beginning this quarter (spring 09). The ability to drop classes online without instructor signatures now exists. However, because of immigration requirements, International Students should not drop any classes after the 3rd day of the quarter without approval from an International Programs advisor.
If you drop below 12 credits without prior authorization, you will be out of status with immigration no matter when you drop the class or for what reason!! You should always meet with your IP advisor BEFORE dropping any class to make sure you are not missing any degree or transfer requirements or jeopardizing your immigration status.
Have you moved? Don't Forget to Update!
