Advanced students have the opportunity to enroll in regular university classes in August, January, or during the summer term. Our staff will help you to find housing and get settled in the dormitory or in an apartment. We offer help with banking, immigration, doctor's visits, and assistance in solving problems that might arise during your stay. Our Activities Coordinator organizes sightseeing tours to places of interest such as Redwood National Park, picnics on the beaches, horseback riding, camping, kayaking, and diverse cultural experiences. Advanced students may be placed in part-time university classes.
Students use the computer lab for word processing, grammar practice and spelling drill.
If you plan to enter a college or university, our office will help you to choose schools and make applications. You may take as many 8-week sessions as you want for up to 1 academic year. This will vary somewhat, depending on the student's taste in recreation, touring, and purchases. Students should arrive at least three or four days before the session begins in order to rest, get settled, and attend orientation. Arcata is a typical small university town free of crime associated with urban centers.
