• Study Group ISC – (TELP program students only) Assists new and continuing international students in with their transitional English courses.

Connecting with the Woodbury Community

Woodbury connects international students with others: students, faculty, and staff in the Woodbury community. International Peer Advisors

All new international students are assigned an International Peer Advisor (IPA). IPAs are international students who provide support and encouragement to new international students, helping each other to adjust to life at Woodbury and in the United States. International students are invited to apply to work as an IPA once they are in their second year of Woodbury academic classes (sophomore class standing). “Life in Another Country” Discussions & Events

This program allows international students the opportunity to discuss the excitement and challenges of “life in another country” together with international students and American students. It serves as an open discussion on how students are dealing with new customs and cultures in America. This event is open to all students in order to create connections between both international and American students and assists in educating students about diversity in United States. “Life in Another Country” programs include topics such as diversity, observing traditional holidays, and guidelines for U.S. academic writing requirements. Course Setting: IS 1700 “Culture Shocks” (3 units)

Aiding students with the cultural, communicative and social understandings necessary for studying abroad, “Culture Shocks” is an interdisciplinary course designed for domestic and international students studying, or thinking about studying, in regions other than one’s home area. Covering such issues as intercultural diversity, the differences in people’s attitudes towards education, the elderly, authority, and other values, students interactively explore their personal competencies, group skills, and cultural heritages.

“Life in another country is hard, but it is a privilege. Thinking of how proud your family and friends back home will be when you succeed helps you accomplish your goals.

The International Peer Advisors are here to help international students pursue their dreams.”

-Trung “Vincent” Le, International Peer Advisor and Business major

What is the International Student Experience (ISE)? (continued)

Experiencing the Culture of Southern California and the United States Woodbury helps international students experience the culture of Southern California and the United States. International Peer Advisors and the Office of Student Development regularly plan and provide fun and educational events for international students. These include bus tours, beach trips, holiday parties, and other activities that allow international students to experience and enjoy the culture of Southern California!

Traditional Celebrations

• Thanksgiving Dinner (United States) • Lunar New Year (China, Vietnam)

Field Trips

• Disneyland • Los Angeles Zoo • Los Angeles’ historic farmer’s market and shopping district “The Grove” • Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park • Hermosa Beach

Transition English Language* Program (TELP) *Transition English language classes apply ONLY to TELP international students, NOT all international students. International students who have not met the minimum English language requirements, and/or do not yet have the TOEFL score needed may be “conditionally accepted” to Woodbury. These students cannot directly begin classes in their major. Instead, Woodbury provides transitional English coursework to help students gain skills and succeed in those difficult, first-year English writing courses as well as future academic (major) coursework. Transitional English courses are provided by Study Group ISC and include two phases: Phase 1

• Students’ language skills fall within the pre-intermediate and intermediate levels • Must take only Transition English classes.

Phase 2 • Students’ language skills fall within the upper-intermediate and advanced levels • Must enroll in Transition English classes

o Undergraduate students might be allowed to enroll in one or two Woodbury academic classes related to their chosen major at the discretion of their academic advisor.

o MBA students will not be allowed to enroll in any Woodbury MBA courses until passing TOEFL scores are submitted.

“I love being an IPA, being there for the International students when they need any assistance or encounter any problems. Helping them achieve success at Woodbury University. I do not want them to feel helpless and lonely like me when I first came to the US as an International student.”

-Ka U. “Vicki” Lao, International Peer Advisor and Architecture major

“Strategies for Success” Advice from Woodbury International Students

• Do not be shy to ask your professors questions, either in class or after class. • If your instructor is hard to understand, talk with him/her after class and explain the

difficulty you are having. • Do not be shy to ask other students questions or to look at their notes after class.

• Try to study with other students, so you can get extra help from them when you need it. • Use the dictionary as much as possible, especially when confused by a new word. • Write down some new words and try to memorize them.

• Go to the Writing Center for FREE English writing tutoring as much as possible. • Watch English TV shows and listen to English radio to practice understanding English. • Read English books as much as possible. Students may borrow books from the

University Library for free.

• Pre-view your text book before class. This will make it easier to understand in class. • After the exams, find out what questions you got wrong and try to correct them to make

sure you do better next time.

Legal Information

For Students Transferring from Another U.S. School

If you are a transfer student from another American university and have an F-1 student visa, the Office of Admissions will mail you an International Student Transfer Form. The International Student Transfer Form needs to be completed to begin the transfer process to Woodbury University. The form should be completed toward the end of the final semester of study at the U.S. school you most recently attended by the international student advisor at that school. Due to new immigration laws, you must inform the international student advisor at your previous school that you have made the decision to attend Woodbury University. He/she will then inform the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) of your decision and enter a release date. Only when the release date is given can Woodbury University give you a SEVIS Form I-20. For Students Coming Directly from Abroad

If you are arriving to the U.S. directly from abroad, please note the date indicated on the SEVIS Form I-20 by which you would need to arrive in the U.S. and report to Woodbury University. Do not enter the U.S. using Woodbury’s SEVIS Form I-20 if you plan to attend a different school. Similarly, do not enter the U.S. using another school’s SEVIS Form I-20 if you do not plan to enroll at that campus. When you receive admission to Woodbury University, you will also be issued a SEVIS Form I-20. This is necessary for you to obtain a F-1 student visa from the U.S. Consulate/Embassy so that you may enter the U.S. as a student. Be sure to allow enough time for visa processing. When you apply for your F-1 student visa, please bring the following documents with you:

• Letter of acceptance from Woodbury University • SEVIS Form I-20 • Passport valid for at least six months after your proposed entry date into the U.S. • Financial evidence of sufficient funds to cover your tuition and living expenses during the period of your

intended study • Photographs. Please see http://travel.state.gov/photorequirements.html for the specific format • Completed Application Form DS-156 and Form DS-158. Some applicants may also be required to complete

Form DS-157. You may download these forms at http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/ks1/wwwh1780.html#NIV Be sure to contact the U.S. Consulate/Embassy and request any additional information that you may need. Any questions regarding your admission to Woodbury should be directed to Study Group via your home agency.

Maintaining F-1 Visa International Student Status

In order to maintain your legal status as an F-1, non-immigrant student in the US:

1. Your passport must remain valid at all times. Your home country’s consulate/embassy should be contacted at least 6 months before the expiration date regarding renewal procedures.

2. You must remain enrolled in a full course of study during the entire academic year (Fall and Spring

semester). At Woodbury, this is defined as 6 units for graduate students and 12 units for undergraduates. This requirement may be waived in the last semester of study where less than a full load is required for completion of the program or under other extreme circumstances as authorized by the University. Should the required courses not be available, this requirement may be met by substitution of another course after approval by your academic advisor or by concurrent enrollment at another institution. The latter is permissible providing: • Credit from that institution is transferable to Woodbury; • Combined enrollment equals full time study at Woodbury; • The other institution is authorized to enroll international students, and; • Attendance at the second school is approved by your academic advisor and the Registrar prior to

attending another institution. • You must obtain permission from your academic advisor and complete a Short Courseload Form which

is available in the Office of Student Development (Cabrini Hall room 102) before the academic semester.

3. Your transfer from the school which last issued you an I-20 must be effected in a timely manner. To do this, you must submit your Woodbury I-20 to the Office of International Student Programs for processing within the first 2 weeks of classes. Also, please submit the International Student Transfer Form completed by the international student advisor at your previous school.

4. You must complete your degree within the length of time stated on your I-20 or apply for an

extension of stay. You must also apply for an extension if you need to remain in student status for more than 8 years (e.g. are completing more than one course of study).

5. Traveling outside the U.S. Your I-20 must be endorsed for travel when you leave the U.S., even to Mexico

or Canada. Please note that your passport and visa should be current. Please plan ahead and seek the travel endorsement from the Office of International Student Programs at least 2 weeks prior to your travel. The signature endorsement for travel is valid for 12 months; however, it is highly recommended that you meet with the international student advisor before every trip outside the U.S. You must be pre-registered for the following semester if you are traveling in between semesters.

6. You must limit on-campus employment to 20 hours per week during the school year.

7. You may not work off-campus unless authorized to do so. Authorization applies only under the

following conditions: • You have been in legal status as a student in the U.S. for the past 9 months

a. You have been enrolled on a full-time basis at approved school for one full academic year. Graduate students may be authorized to work off campus (internship) only after having completed two full semesters at Woodbury University.

b. Students in English language training/transition programs are not eligible for off campus work. • You can maintain full-time student status while working; • You have been authorized for curricular or pre-completion optional practical training; and • You have consulted with the Office of Student Development’s international student advisor.

8. You may apply for two types of practical training during the course of your study at Woodbury. Both must be within your field of study, and be approved by your academic advisor. • Curricular practical training (CPT) is allowable if you are required to do an internship as part of your

graduation requirements. The time spent in curricular practical training will not be subtracted from your optional practical training. You may apply for this only after you have maintained lawful status for at least 9 months. If you use CPT during the academic year, you must still be enrolled at the full-time rate.

• A total of 12 months of full-time optional practical training is available to all students who have main-tained proper academic and legal status as a student for one academic year, and continue to do so.

Note: Time approved for optional practical training before graduation will be subtracted from the one year optional practical training otherwise available after graduation. (If working 20 hours per week or less, which is considered part-time, each two months of optional practical training will count as one training allowable after graduation).

How to Get a California Driver’s License You must get a California driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), if you intend to drive in the state of California. Your car must be registered with the DMV and you must buy accident insurance. STEP 1: Get a California Driver Handbook to study from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) by calling (818)

841-9200 or stop by any DMV office. You can find the location of the nearest DMV by looking in the telephone book or calling information by dialing 4-1-1. The closest one is located on Glenoaks Blvd. in Glendale. The handbooks are printed in various languages, so ask if one is available in yours.

STEP 2: Once you are familiar with the California traffic laws, request an instruction permit. The permit will allow you to practice driving, ONLY WITH someone with a valid California driver’s license. To request an instruction permit, go to a DMV office, complete a driver’s license application form, and pay a small fee. The fee covers the instruction permit and the license if you qualify within 12 months. You will also be asked for identification. Use your passport for this purpose. You will be required to pass a vision and written test on California laws. You are also required to have a photograph and a thumb print taken.

STEP 3: When you feel prepared, make an appointment at the DMV office to take the driving test. The California Driver Handbook describes the test in detail. You must provide your own vehicle and it must be in safe operating condition. No one may accompany you during the driving test, except an examination officer.

STEP 4: Once you pass the driving test, the DMV will issue you a temporary license. Your permanent license will be sent to you by mail from the headquarters in Sacramento.

Employment Options for F-1 Students There are various specific employment options available to international Students on F-1 visas. (Note: These options are available provided that you are maintaining lawful F-1 status. Please see previous page for maintaining lawful F-1 status.) The on-campus option is the easiest way to begin working if you are looking for general experience and a little pocket money. As you read through each of the options, determine which category(s) apply to you and begin the process by speaking with the Office of Student Development as soon as possible. This is only an overview and is designed to give you a general breakdown of the employment benefits/programs available to F-1 students. Specific regulations and application procedures for each of the above can be discussed with you in greater detail.

On-Campus Employment: On a student visa (F-1) you are entitled to work on campus up to 20 hours per week in the Fall and Spring semesters. However, you may work full-time on campus in the Summer. If you choose to work during the Summer months, you must be registered for classes in the following Fall semester. You must possess a valid passport, I-94, I-20 and social security card. You may work on-campus as long as you are enrolled full-time at Woodbury University.

Curricular Practical Training: The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) defines Curricular Practical Training (CPT) as a training program which is “an integral part of an established curriculum…such as alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum which is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school.” (Manual Section 4.9.3.1) For example, if your major is Architecture, your program requires structured work experience. This work experience or internship is also included in the course catalogue under major requirements. If your major requires such experience, you should meet with your academic advisor to discuss internship options. Then, make an appointment to see the Office of Student Development’s international student advisor. Be sure to bring your program description detailing your employment contract approved by your department your I-20, passport, and I-94 card. CPT may be used at the part-time rate (less than 20 hours a week) during the Fall and Spring semesters, and full-time (40 hours a week) during the Summer.

Optional Practical Training: In order to qualify for Optional Practical Training (OPT) authorization, you must be in lawful F-1 status for one full academic year (9 consecutive months) and be in good academic standing. The employment opportunity must be directly related to your field of study. You may work up to 20 hours per week during the Spring and Fall semesters and full-time during vacation periods before completing your program (pre-completion). You may also work full-time if you have completed your program of study (post-completion). You must apply for practical training authorization up to 90 days prior to completion of studies. OPT is valid for a total of 12 months. There is a processing fee payable to BCIS. In addition you will need to complete Form I-765 which will be specified at your meeting with the Office of International Student Programs. This application can be done by mail only, so plan ahead if you think this option applies to you. If approved, you will receive an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) which should be presented to your employer at the time of hire. You must obtain your EAD in order to begin working. If you are interested in applying for OPT, you should schedule an appointment with the Office of Student Development’s international student advisor for assistance. Be sure to bring your I-20, passport and other documentation.

Employment Based On Severe Economic Hardship (Off-Campus): This option is appropriate if you have experienced a severe economic problem due to unforeseen circumstances that were beyond your control. You must be in full time F-1 status for one academic year (9 consecutive months) and be in good academic standing. You will also be required to provide supporting evidence demonstrating the financial hardship and complete Forms I-765 and I-538 which are available in the Office of Student Development (Cabrini Hall, room 102). As a full-time student, if authorized, you may work off campus up to 20 hours per week during the Spring and Fall semester, and full-time during vacation periods, assuming you intend to enroll in the subsequent semester. There is a processing fee payable to BCIS for this application. Please be sure your employment will not interfere with your academic progress. The BCIS examiners generally require a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average in order to consider your request. This application can be done by mail only, so plan ahead if you think this option applies to you. If approved, you will receive an EAD that should be presented to your employer at the time of hire. The EAD is issued in one-year intervals and can be extended up to the completion date of your program of study. You must obtain your EAD in order to begin working.
