Virtual Advising
"This is great!" international students
are saying who have tried our new Virtual
Advising. The advising team began offering
virtual advising spring quarter. Between
1:00-5:00 Monday through Friday an IP
advisor is available via online chat.
Positive feedback is spreading by word
of mouth, and Virtual Advising is getting
more and more popular as current students
discover this convenient way to get
answers and advice they need when they
need it
Pre-registration: Boost your math
skills and placement
Green River offers pre-registration
for new international students qualified
for direct entry into academic classes.
At most colleges and universities, registration
begins a month or two before classes
start. Green River's pre-registration
helps you get the classes you need your
first term of study.
We recently revised our
pre-registration form to offer some
free, on-line resources to help students
improve their math skills and math placement.
The attached
Pre-Registration Form is sent to
all international applicants who meet
GRCC's academic English proficiency
requirement.
Green River Has Many Resources to Assist You
Educational Advisors: Every international student is assigned an
educational advisor. They are an invaluable resource and provide a wealth of information for international students. Advisors provide assistance in developing educational goals, selecting classes and getting involved in the many activities and programs at the College. When it comes time to plan for transfer to a university they provide information that will help you identify the best options for your educational and professional goals and choose a university that meets your needs.
You will be contacted by your Educational Advisor about one month before the quarter begins. They will answer your questions and help with planning for arrival at the college and selecting courses for your initial quarter. Shortly after arriving on campus, you will be contacted by your advisor to set up a personal advising session. International Student Advisors are available to help you every step along the way to graduation!
Writing Center: The
Writing Center is available to assist you in all stages of the writing process. If you have a question about grammar and usage or need help brainstorming ideas or focusing in essays - faculty and student tutors are there to help. There is no need to make an appointment, just drop by. The Center can help you improve in the areas you choose to work and make you feel more confident about your written work.
Math Center: The
Math Center assists students in all areas of math. If you are struggling with math come to the center for individual tutoring, math videos, computers and other learning resources. All services are available free of charge to support students in their math studies to achieve success.
