第一学期信息
As you begin your first semester at NWACC as an international student, you may find it challenging to transition into a new culture and education system. Feel free to view the information and re所以urces below to help you be successful in your academic journey.
第一学期项目
During your first semester at NWACC, you will have a hold posted to your account after the first month called “IR” which references that the International Review is due. 这个暂停将阻止你在未来的学期注册，直到你完成它。 The requirement takes about 30-45 minutes and you may complete it on 帆布 by clicking the below link.
Once you click the link, it will require you to sign into 帆布 before adding the course to your library. In short, this International Review will recap many of the important aspects you learned about in orientation like your immigration requirements, support services on-campus, degree plans, etc…. There will be a quiz after each section and you must average an 80% or better to pass. You may have multiple attempts on the quiz. 这些测验成绩不会反映在你的大学GPA上。 Once you complete it, please email InternationalPrograms@nwacc.edu 所以 它可以被核实，你的IR滞留可以被移除。
