Swine Flu: Is it safe to travel
to the US?
According to the World Health Organization
(WHO): “Yes. WHO is not
recommending
travel restrictions related to the outbreak
of the influenza A(H1N1) virus. Today,
global travel is commonplace and large
numbers of people move around the world
for business and leisure.”
See WHO's frequently asked
questions.
At Green River, we have had no reported
cases of swine flu. Just as with all
types of flu, we are encouraging students
and staff to follow proper health guidelines:
wash hands regularly and stay home if
not feeling well. This is the best way
to prevent and contain any illness.
US medical clinics and hospitals are
well prepared to treat individuals should
they become ill for any reason. There
is no reason to worry about studying
at Green River Community College.

Take Advantage of Pre-arrival Registration
for New Academic Students
Pre-arrival Registration for summer

classes before they arrive on campus.
This gives them a jump start on getting
this classes they need to have a successful

For your students who have not demonstrated
English proficiency as part of the admission
process, please check with them to see
if they have taken or plan to take TOEFL,
IELTS or any of the

As soon as we receive proof of English
