Updating Addresses

If you have moved or are planning to move soon, please be sure to update your address, email, and phone number immediately. You may use Online Services to update your contact information. The immigration law mandates that you must update your address within 10 days of your move.

Construction Around IV Buildings

The construction has begun!

Due to the growth in International Programs over the last few years we are expanding our existing office building to allow for more office space and a conference room. In addition to the International Programs expansion the gym is being renovated and is schedule to be completed before fall quarter begins in mid-September.

Please use extreme caution when approaching the IVD building as the surface may be rough or uneven.

IESL Level 5 Students

The IESL staff is looking for videos and pictures that show us what you have been experiencing here at GRCC. We would like to see what you and your friends have been doing in your classes, on campus, at CCA, or even on weekends. If you have been on any Friday Trips or have been involved in any student activities, we would like to see that as well! The pictures and video that we receive will be made into a movie for IESL graduates to be given out on graduation day.


 
If you would like to participate, please either email your videos and pictures to Emma, IESL Office Assistant, at nikeda@greenriver.edu or come visit us in IVA 101.
