CCA is going GREEN!
Residents asked and we answered. Campus Corner Apartments’ Resident Council will start a recycling program later this month for any resident that wants to participate and help the environment. Residents will receive a blue bin for co-mingled recycling products (cans, bottles, paper, plastic, glass, etc.) and a list of guidelines for recycling, along with the time and day that their recycling will be picked up. Resident Council Building Representatives will be emptying the bins once a week and residents that receive a bin will be asked to sign a Recycling Agreement, promising to put only recyclable materials in the bin and keep it free from damage.
There will be a Recycling Party at 6 PM on Wednesday, April 21st during GRCC’s Green Week for residents to come to the Community Room and receive their bin, sign the agreement, enjoy some green foods and talk about recycling. CCA and the Resident Council are very excited to go GREEN and make the earth a cleaner place!

Remember the 12 Credit Rule!
All academic students must register for a min. of 12 credits to be in compliance with the immigration regulations. If you are registered for less than 12 credits and need assistance to pick up more credits see an advisor immediately!

Seasons Apartment RUMOR BUSTER!!!!!
It is not true that the Campus Corner Apartments are threatening to take legal action against The Seasons Apartments.
It is true that Green River Community College has never changed their answer concerning international students living at Seasons.
The Seasons is a type of property that you must qualify to rent based on income. The Washington State Housing Authority compliance office recently enforced the rule stating you cannot be a full time student to qualify. To be fair there was a misunderstanding about IESL International students on the part of the leasing agents. However, all International students on an F-1 visa, whether they are IESL or Academic, per immigration law must be full time. The only exception to this rule is the rare time when students are on a registered reduced course load. Therefore, International students do not qualify for leasing The Seasons apartments.
Neither GRCC nor CCA forced The Seasons to stop leasing to IP students.
Now you know the rest of the story. If you have any more questions please come to the IP office and speak with someone in the housing department.
