New International Student Facebook Group
In addition to attending orientation, you are encouraged to connect with us via Facebook. Approximately 1-2 months before the start of your first quarter, you will receive an email inviting you to join a private Facebook group for new international students at Seattle Colleges. The purpose of the group is to allow you to connect with fellow schoolmates, ask questions, and get answers as you prepare to enroll. We will send the invitation to the email address listed on your admission application -- so keep an eye out! To join our private group, follow the instructions included in the email message.
