INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAMS
The office of International Student Programs (ISP) addresses the needs of De Anza’s international (F-1 visa) students and helps them adjust to their lives in the United States. Prospective and degree-seeking international students are encouraged to contact the office, visit the campus and view ISP’s website.
ISP has a professional, multilingual staff who are well-informed about educational development, personal and financial planning, cross-cultural issues, immigration rules and regulations, and community programs and resources. The international student counselors assist international students in designing their educational plans and prepare students for their transfer to a four-year university to continue their undergraduate education.
Each quarter, ISP organizes an orientation program for all new international students, covering a wide range of topics, including assessment, health issues, academic skills, personal safety, banking and transportation. ISP also conducts numerous workshops throughout the academic year on a broad range of topics such as employment, transfers to four-year universities and F-1 visa rules. To help international students in their adjustment to life in the Bay Area and the United States, ISP organizes a selection of social and cultural programs and activities. To protect international students from the high costs of medical care in the U.S., all F-1 visa students are required to
purchase and subscribe to the international student health insurance selected by the Foothill-De Anza Community College District.
