Advising During the First Week of Winter Quarter

Advising will be limited to registration and urgent issues only during the first week of the quarter. Advisors will be available to help you in the IP Office from:
Jan 4th-5th- 8am until 5pm
Normal IP Office hours (see below) will resume as of Jan 6th.

Normal IP Office Hours
The IP Office is open from 9:00 am-5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Advisors need to eat too, so they are not available during the lunch hour, from noon to 1 pm. You may see advisors with your questions during the walk-in hours, or schedule an appointment for any Thursday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday are walk in days. Thursday is an appointment only day, no walk ins.


12 Credit Rule
All academic students must register for a minimum of 12 credits to be in compliance with the immigration regulations. If you are having trouble registering for at least 12 credits, please talk to your advisor immediately.

Be Safe and Stay Alive!

Tragically, two students were hit when crossing the street last quarter. According to the report, the students put themselves at risk by crossing illegally. American drivers are not accustomed to dealing with pedestrians walking in the middle of the street. Use the sidewalks for their intended purpose. When crossing the street, please use the cross walk. This will keep you safe and you will receiving a ticket with a steep fine for jaywalking.

New Student Appointment

If this is your first academic quarter, you must schedule your NSA with your assigned advisor at the IP office. If you fail to complete your appointment by the 8th week of the quarter, your registration account will be blocked for spring registration. Yikes!








Address Update
Update your address, phone and email using online services today. Keeping your contact information current is required by law and it also helps you from missing any important communication.


Strategizing your application with University of Washington - Bothell
UW Bothell admissions officer Mariah Ortiz will talk about strategizing your university application, writing a strong personal statement, resume and WSA tips and the transition from community college to university. This is a great opportunity for anyone applying to UW, but also good information for anyone working on their transfer application. This workshop will be held on Tuesday, February 7 from 2-3:30 pm, SS-8.



GRCC Spring Sports Opportunities
Are you interested in playing for GRCC? Our athletics department is on the lookout for women interested in fastpitch softball, track, or golf and men interested in baseball and track. You must be 18 or have graduated high school, be a full-time academic student (the ESL schedule does not work with the sports schedule), and have the interest, commitment and ability to participate in American sports. If you want more information, email Director of Athletics Bob Kickner bkickner@greenriver.edu.


When Can I Take a Vacation Quarter?
Immigration law requires that you study for a full three quarters before you are eligible for a vacation quarter. The only exception is summer quarter (unless you already used your vacation quarter during the previous school year). You must ALWAYS see an advisor first to register for a vacation quarter, or you will risk having your I-20 terminated. So if you think you are ready for a vacation, you must meet with your advisor in the IP office before you make plans.



GRCC Student Email Address If you have not set up your GRCC student email account, please click here. You are required to check your Green River email everyday as that is how professors and advisors will communicate with you.

    Check your I-20 Expiration Date!
    You must always have a valid I-20. If your I-20 is about to expire then you must apply for a new one before it expires. Bring your I-20 to the IP office IMMEDIATELY and we can help you. You can see if your I-20 expiration date by reading #5 on the first page.

    Traveling outside the US?
    You must get a signature on your I-20 before you leave! If you have had your I-20 signed within six months of your return date you do not need another signature. Also, we recommend that you print out your class schedule for winter quarter and carry it with your documents. If you are questioned upon re-entry to the US it is handy to have that. Plan to fly out after finals and return before classes start on January 4th. Be aware that if you miss the first two days of class your seat can be given away to another student, even if you already paid tuition.

    Applying to UW?
    The summer 2012 and autumn 2012 application deadline for all transfer students is February 15, 2012. The online application will be available for transfer students from December 15 – February 15. If students want to preview the application, go to http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/Apply/PDF to download the PDF. UW still prefers students complete the online application, but you can see what to expect by reviewing the paper version. Students should not begin the online application until December 15 since the current application is specifically for freshman and the form will be different once the transfer application is available. Students can also start working on the essay section of the application. The essay topic is available at http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/WritingSection#transfer.

    Diversity Credits Required for students begining Winter 2012 and later
    The new diversity requirement has begun for new students. Check here for more information.

    Beware of Banking Scam
    If someone calls you to say that your account is blocked and they ask to collect information, you can ask for a number to call them back. Tell them that you will check with the bank in person. Never give out personal banking information over the phone. This is a common scam.

    IESL Announcements

    ·Your finals will be taking place on Monday, December 5 and Tuesday, December 6. Please note: IESL finals will be taking place on Study Day!

    SAVE A LIFE - DRIVE RIGHT! Letter from Ross

    Auburn, WA, September 20, 2011

    A young international student from GRCC hit another vehicle at the corner of SE 124th and 312th SE Tuesday morning at about 11:00am. The driver of the second car was injured and had to be taken to the hospital. Both cars were damaged. Police determined that the GRCC driver was at fault, and was driving without a driver's license or insurance. The police and the court will investigate, and likely impose a big fine and possibly assign jail time to the unlicensed driver. The GRCC driver will have to pay all car damage and hospital costs of the other driver out of his own pocket, most likely several thousand dollars.

    This is a real case. Sadly, this happens too often. It should not happen even once.

    Every driver in Washington State must have a driver's license and car insurance. This is to protect the driver, the driver's passengers, and other drivers and pedestrians. If you drive, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to follow the law. Here is the order of driving:

    1. Learn how to drive (if you don't have a driver's license from home). Learn from a driving school, not from your friends.
    2. Get a Washington State driver's license.
    3. Buy a car.
    4. Buy car insurance.
    5. Drive your car safely.

    If you want to drive, follow the order above. There are no exceptions. Driving is a big responsibility. Drive safely. We want you, your friends and members of the community to be safe and alive.

    Tuition Fee

    Tuition fee is due by the first day of the quarter (9/19/11). There will be a $95 late fee for students who still have a balance due by the end of the business day. Even if you are still finalizing your schedule, you are still required to pay your outstanding balance by the end of the business day on 9/19/11. Once your schedule is finalized, if you have added any new courses that were not paid for, you can pay for those classes on that day without any late fee. Avoid the line at the cashier's office! Pay Online.

    12 Credit Rule



    All academic students must register for a minimum of 12 credits to be in compliance with the immigration regulations. If you do not yet have 12 credits, attend the classes you are interested in (try several sections) and ask the teacher if they have space to add you. Then bring the completed registration forms to the IP office to add those classes. After talking to teachers, if you have questions or need advice, you should speak with your advisor to find the best solution.

    How to Overload into Classes
    If you are on a wait list on the first day of class (or even if you are not on a waitlist) and you still want to be enrolled in that class, you must attend the class and get permission from the instructor. Sometimes they "Overload" their class with extra seats. Classes are particularly full this quarter and there is high demand, so there is no guarantee that you will get in. Talk to the teacher, be polite with your request and you may have a chance! After collecting the teacher's signature on the registration form, bring your permission form(s) to an advisor to get registered in the IP office.

    Address Update

    The law requires that you update your address within 10 days of any move! Updating your address is quick and easy. Link here to get the form to update your address. Then take the completed form to Enrollment Services, located upstairs in LSC. You may also update your address at the front desk in the IP Office.

    Tips for Finding Classes
    1) Target early morning, afternoon and evening classes. More students drop them, so your chances to get in are better.
    2) Attend your target classes every day, and make sure the teacher sees you. Your chances are much better if you attend daily.
    3) Be nice!!! Teachers have the right to say "yes" or "no". Many other students are trying to get classes too.
    4) Don't be choosy! The classes you need and the classes you want are not always the same. Get the classes you need. Don't worry too much about the time they are offered. Each quarter gets easier as you gain seniority for earlier registration times.

    New Student Appointment (NSA)
    If this is your first academic quarter, please schedule your NSA with your assigned advisor at the IP office. If you fail to complete your appointment by the 8th week of the quarter, your registration account will be blocked. Yikes!
