Orientation/Assessment
Session
Grossmont
College requires new international
students to attend an International Orientation Program. Your
orientation dates will be sent to you along with your I-20 and
other admissions information. The orientation is a two-day program
and includes an English assessment, a campus introduction,
and information about registration and immigration regulations.
Please see a brief description of the program listed below. You
may also check our website to view the current
catalog and
class schedule
(if available) for the next semester. Bring a copy of your foreign
university transcript with you to the orientation.
Remember, classes at Grossmont College fill up quickly. Your attendance
at an early orientation will increase your ability to register in the classes of
your choice. Students who register just before classes may find many
of their first-choice classes full.

Therefore, it is important for students to bring enough U.S.
Dollars to pay for the first semester fees (approximately $2,600),
shuttle and hotel, books and medical insurance, and first few months
of living expenses (rent, meals, etc.)
You may wish to bring $5,000 or more to cover these expenses.
(We suggest you use traveler’s checks, as it is the most
secure form of money to use while traveling and is widely accepted by
businesses in the U.S.) For
your own safety and protection, please remember to safeguard your
money, passport, and personal belongings. |
