Newly Admitted International Students - International Programs and Services

Greetings from Ohlone College! We are excited that you will be joining us soon. Please click on one of the following links for important information:

To get started, you should do the following things, in order:

1. After you arrive to the U.S., contact the International Programs and Services Office to make an appointment to meet with Mr. Eddie West, Ms. Alison Hill, or Ms. Sanae Milano. Bring your passport and I-20 to that appointment, since we will make photocopies of those items.

2. After this appointment, take an English Placement test and a Math Placement test. Detailed information about those tests will be given to you at your appointment at the International Programs and Services Office.

3. Make an appointment with an Ohlone College Counselor for a time and date after your tests (and, the earlier the better.) The Counselor will recommend courses you should take based upon your academic background, Placement Test results, and future educational goals. You may make an appointment with an Ohlone College Counselor by going to the Counseling Window, in Building 1, First Floor. You may also drop-in, without an appointment, to meet a Counselor at the times and dates listed on the Counseling for International Students page.

4. Sign up for WebAdvisor access. WebAdvisor is the online tool you will use to register for your classes. Go to https://accounts.ohlone.edu/ and begin with Step 2. Please email Eddie West at ewest@ohlone.edu or Allison Hill at ahill@ohlone.edu if you encounter any problems signing up for an account. Or, please visit the International Programs Office.
