COUNSELING:

Our international student counselor would help you to select the courses that best fit your educational level. Together we can develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP) to meet your educational goals. Remember, we are here to help you adjusting into your new environment and culture so you can successful reach your goals.

Some of you might have had previous college work. For that reason, by working together with your counselor, we can determine how to apply those courses toward your Associate Degree work at Cañada College.

We look forward to working closely with you in all the necessary procedures. You will agree that Cañada College is a friendly place, one in which you will grow personally and academically.

ASSESSMENT TEST AND ORIENTATION

All new students must take the English and Math assessment exam at least two working days prior to their counseling appointment. The test results will be used to place students in an appropriate level of English and Math courses.

Refer to Placement Test Dates

At the NEW STUDENTS ORIENTATION, you will learn about Cañada College programs and services, updates on immigration regulations, students' responsibilities, employment requirements, and meet new fellow students.

Once you have completed the placement exam, orientation, and counseling, you will be eligible to register.

 

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program at Cañada College is not as intensive as a program at an English Language School. Therefore, upon completion of the advanced level of a language school program, students can transfer to Cañada College. You can be required to take additional English instruction when you transfer to Cañada College. Cañada College cannot issue an I-20 form to students with a major of "English as a Second Language Program". The ESL courses are available to International Students in addition to their academic program.

The followings are some of the language school in the area:

Language Pacifica

ELS Language Center/San Francisco

International Institute - INTRAX

American Academy of English

Golden Gate language Schools (ILSC San Francisco)
