Hello Cambridge College Students,
We hope you are all doing well. As you likely know, many summer classes begin next week on June 5th. In anticipation of the start of classes, we encourage you to log into your course portals, check to see if there are required textbooks, and download the syllabus to review prior to class. The summer term is short, so being prepared will help to set you up for success.
Here are some other items to keep in mind:
Grammarly
Cambridge College is committed to student success, so we are continuing to make Grammarly Premium available free of charge to all students! All CC students who have registered for summer classes should have received an email with a link to set up your Grammarly Premium account. If you did not receive the invitation, please reach out to leah.barcan@cambridgecollege.edu. You can read our Grammarly announcement and directions, here>> and access Grammarly support videos here>>.
New SEVP Rules for International Students for Fall 23-24
International students enrolled in the Summer 2023 semester are allowed to complete the summer semester under the flexible COVID-19 guidelines. However, beginning September 1, 2023, all F1 VISA students, regardless of when they entered the United States, will need to enroll in in-seat classes, with only one online (or remote) class permitted per semester. Before registering for fall classes, please be sure to meet with your academic advisor to ensure that you are enrolling in the required number of in-seat classes. Should you have any questions about this, please reach out to Vera Dimoplon at vera.dimoplon@cambridgecollege.edu.
If you have time, please come join us for one of our workshops this week!
