<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Advising During the First Week of Winter Quarter </span></strong><br />
<br />
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:<br />
Jan 4th-5th- 8am until 5pm<br />
Normal IP Office hours (see below) will resume as of Jan 6th.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Normal IP Office Hours</span></strong><br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">12 Credit Rule </span></strong><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqF7VpuIAfsE2-KgGBxpxHZSM3WD-84EGBei_MONyRRZ-KBpYL3DgE6R4i1vvPdIfMHOIVqmRYWe-k9uhIYAJlryTyIphUiDokHKM6xsvR9tRn0daaMfzVMiE1xTlfIHRc9I-7vP71wcgn/s1600/12.jpg"></a>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.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Be Safe and Stay Alive!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2mSjdw5ANkqiXkx1KjO7xdTY2mWWnDwEQuX0UMOMmoeIcIgl44atVBZVxkgNZHgeuiI8IIRVcolIYL9LygzWmj7ebr8nh4ughjYqVYec4A3WodLM1qoHfqudN9WBPLk2VDSY77Wb7rmj0/s1600/crosswalk-sign1.png"></a></span></strong><br />
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.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">New Student Appointment</span></strong><br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Address Update</span></strong><br />
Update your address, phone and email using <a href="https://www.greenriver.edu/Register/stuaddr/waci203.html">online services</a> today. Keeping your contact information current is required by law and it also helps you from missing any important communication.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Strategizing your application with University of Washington - Bothell</span></strong><br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">GRCC Spring Sports Opportunities</span></strong><br />
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 <a href="mailto:bkickner@greenriver.edu">bkickner@greenriver.edu</a>.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">When Can I Take a Vacation Quarter?</span></strong><br />
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.<br />
<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Office Hours During Break</span></strong><br />
During the break the IP office is open for regular hours (M-F 9am-5pm), with the exception of holidays, Dec 26 and Jan 2. Winter 2011 New Student Orientation is scheduled from Dec 28-30. No advisors will be available during that time. </div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Tuition for Winter Quarter is Due by January 4, 2012</span></strong></div>
<div>
<strong>You may pay as early as you are ready!</strong> To avoid the $95 late fee, long lines on the first day of the quarter and any bank transfer delays make your payment prior to the deadline. You can make your payment <a href="http://www.greenriver.edu/online/payment_options.shtm">here</a> using online services.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Check your I-20 Expiration Date!</span></strong><br />
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.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Traveling outside the US?</span></strong></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Applying to UW?</span></strong></div>
<div>
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 <a href="http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/Apply/PDF">http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/Apply/PDF</a> 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 <a href="http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/WritingSection#transfer">http://admit.uw.edu/Admission/International/WritingSection#transfer</a>.</div>

<div>
The new diversity requirement has begun for new students. Check <a href="http://www.greenriver.edu/resources/diversity-course-requirements/">here</a> for more information.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Beware of Banking Scam</span></strong></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<br />
<div>
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">IESL Announcements</span></strong></div>

Have you been in to see an advisor lately? If so you may have had a long wait time. We wish to apologize for this terrible inconvenience. You may be glad to know that IP is currently hiring two new advisors to meet the growing need. We have been short staffed since the end of summer. Your patience is very much appreciated as we take time to find the right people to better serve your needs. <strong>Advisors will not be available in IP on Nov 22nd</strong> as we will be interviewing potential new staff on that day.</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 0px;">Have You Registered for Winter Quarter? </span></strong><br />

New students will be coming in soon and the open seats will be taken. If you need help please come into IP and see an advisor. <br />

If you are a new academic student this quarter you must schedule a New Student Appointment (NSA) with your advisor. During the appointment, you and your advisor will talk about your passions, high school plus, university transfer, career goals, and discuss “big picture” questions about why you are here at GRCC and create an individualized degree plan that will meet your education objectives. You must complete your NSA by the end of November so you know exactly what classes to enroll in for future quarters.</div>

<div>
Some countries (namely China, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia) require passport renewal before the passport is within six months of expiring. In fact, if your passport is from one of those countries, you will be out of status in the US if you do not renew your passport before that deadline. Several Chinese students have gone out of status recently because they failed to renew their passport before this early deadline! Be aware and take action!</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">SAVE A LIFE - DRIVE RIGHT! Letter from Ross</span></strong><br />
<br />
Auburn, WA, September 20, 2011<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This is a real case. Sadly, this happens too often. It should not happen even once.<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
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.<br />
2. Get a Washington State driver's license.<br />
3. Buy a car.<br />
4. Buy car insurance.<br />
5. Drive your car safely.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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!

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.<br />

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.<br />

1) Target early morning, afternoon and evening classes. More students drop them, so your chances to get in are better.<br />
2) Attend your target classes every day, and make sure the teacher sees you. Your chances are much better if you attend daily.<br />
3) Be nice!!! Teachers have the right to say "yes" or "no". Many other students are trying to get classes too.<br />
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.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Green Card Lottery Scandals</span></strong></div>
<br />
<div>
Have you or someone you know recently received an e-mail claiming you’ve won the Green Card lottery and asking you to send or wire money? Don’t fall for it – the sender is trying to steal your money! Fraudsters will frequently e-mail potential victims posing as State Department or other government officials with requests to wire or transfer money online as part of a “processing fee.” <strong>You should NEVER transfer money to anyone who e-mails you claiming that you have won the Diversity Visa (DV) lottery or been selected for a Green Card.</strong> These e-mails are designed to steal money from unsuspecting victims. The senders often use phony e-mail addresses and logos designed to make them look more like official government correspondence. One easy way to tell they are a fraud is that the e-mail address does not end with a “.gov”. </div>
<div>
One particularly common fraud email comes from an address ending in @diplomats.com or @usa.com and asks potential victims to wire $819 per applicant/family member via Western Union to an individual (the name varies) at the following address in the United Kingdom: 24 Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE. If you receive this email, do NOT respond. Report it immediately to the <a href="http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx">Internet Crime Complaint Center</a> and the <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/complaint">Federal Trade Commission online</a> or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Late Fall Transfer Option in CA</span></strong></div>
<div>
<br />
Check out California State University San Marcos <a href="http://www.csusm.edu/global/admissions">www.csusm.edu/global/admissions</a>. They are still accepting applications for fall 2011 to international students with a visa currently studying in the US. See an advisor if you have questions after checking out their website.</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Need TOEFL for Your Transfer? Register NOW!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<div>
<br />
If you plan to start applying to universities during fall 2011 for a 2012 transfer, you should be aware that most schools require a TOEFL score. Check the school website now to know what your schools require. <a href="http://www.ets.org/toefl">Register for TOEFL</a> early to reserve your seat locally. Spaces fill up fast and many student who wait to register for a test date actually end up travelling (sometimes out of State) to test. Better to register and test early!</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">TRAVEL TIP: Will you have "Jet Lag" when you return this fall?</span></strong><br />
<div>
<br />
Jet lag is especially tough when you travel East across the time zones. If you are going to Asia for a vacation this summer, consider returning three days early to adjust to the time difference. Give yourself a great start in fall quarter!</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Traveling out of the U.S.? </span></strong><br />
<div>
<br />
Get your I-20 signed before leaving the country. The I-20 signature allows you to get back in to the U.S. Come to IP if you need an updated signature. Print a copy of your next quarter classes so that you have some extra document to show when you return. You don't need to show it unless you are questioned, but you'll be glad you have it if you are asked.</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">GRCC Tuition Increase</span></strong><br />

Do you plan to take a trip outside the US during spring break? Avoid the rush at the end of the quarter. Come to the IP Office and get your I-20 signed early! </div>

<div>
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Paying Tuition Early is Recommended</span></strong></div>
<br />
<div>
Tuition is due on or before the first day of the quarter. You may pay as early as you are ready. To avoid long lines on the first day of the quarter make your payment prior to the deadline. You can make your payment <a href="http://www.greenriver.edu/online/payment_options.shtm">here</a> using online services. Late payment means a $95 late fee.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">Double Registration is Risky! </span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqYoZd0ATX207K4wQnJaOu52kTG5MXyBPqYNiwEIxREZL8rsHcgVNnhGtzWjXuqA2KAWw5hob-heCVkT_9JMN79w9I8y3fpxHXDlw6rwdIkQYSktxdW20jbXX17OrTKweff8SewZmUQBwM/s1600-h/sbTightRope.jpg"></a></div>
<br />
<div>
Sometimes students register for more than one section of the same class if the section they really want is only available by waitlist. But Beware! This is risky! If you get into the waitlisted section you will have two sections in your registration, and you will not know this unless you check your registration regularly. Then one of those sections will automatically be dropped for you if you neglect to take care of it yourself. You must be careful to check your schedule regularly.</div>

If you will be traveling outside the US you will need to have your I-20 signed by an advisor before you leave. Signatures are valid for 6 months. It's not too early to take care of this now. Don't delay; visit IP today!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 0px;">Spring Break is a Great Time to Visit Universities!</span></strong><br />
Have you thought of taking a tour of schools you might be interested in transferring to? Spring break is the perfect time for a road trip! Get a group together to share the expense of the rental car, gas and hotel. Don't hesitate to contact the schools to let them know of your visit.

Payment is due each quarter by the first day of class. However, it is smart to make your payment early.

You may make payment (at the cashier's office or <a href="http://www.greenriver.edu/online/payment_options.shtm">online</a>) any time after you have registered for your classes. If you are waitlisting for other classes you will need to make payment for any additional classes after they are added.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: 21px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
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.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">How to Overload into Classes</span></strong><br />
<br />
If you are on a wait list on the first day of class and you still want to be enrolled in that class, you must attend the class and get permission from the instructor. There is no guarantee that you will get in. If the class is full you may need to wait for the teacher to know if there are any drops or no shows, opening up seats. Be polite with your request and you may have a chance! </div>
<div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">New Student Appointment (NSA) </span></strong><br />
<br />
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! </div>
