Important Policy Changes

May 3, 2007


Greetings Green River Partners! 

We are pleased to announce several policy changes that will make it easier for you to assist students interested in starting their studies at Green River. 

I-20 Issuance

We are making the application process easier and we will provide quicker I-20 turnaround.  Effective immediately:

  • We no longer require a housing placement fee to issue an I-20.

  • Complete applications missing only housing fees will now receive I-20s. 

  • Housing placement is made only after fees are paid and Intent to Contract is received for CCA. Priority is based on date received. 

For fastest possible admission service, we encourage you to apply on-line and fax or email the financial statement.    

Housing Placement Fee: $300

To simplify the housing application process, effective fall quarter 2007 the housing placement fee will be $300 for Campus Corner Apartments and host family/homeshare. The placement fee includes the following:

  • CCA= Administrative Fee; Airport Pick-up; Move-in Kit

  • Host Family= Administrative Fee; Airport Pick-up; $100 First Month Deposit  

Refund policy: $300 placement fee refundable upon request if student cancels application 2 weeks prior to Housing/Move-in-Day or does not use the I-20 to enter the U.S. 

We are delighted to work with partners and serve students from all over the world.  As an organization, we are committed to improvement and finding ways to better serve our students and partners. Feel free to let us know if you have any feedback or if we can do anything for you.  

My best,
