The Office of International Student Services’ purpose is to increase, 以稳定和可持续的方式, the number of international students enrolled at Butte College and to provide services and support to promote their academic success and personal growth.
In order to meet our goal of increasing the number of international students on our campus each year, it has been incumbent upon Butte College to actively recruit in foreign countries. 在我们无法访问的国家, Butte使用网络营销, and other marketing tools to reach out to prospective students. The other major activity of the department is to provide international students with special services such as help with housing, 特殊e世博官方网站帮助, and an orientation designed for new international students.
一次性资金支持国际项目
Due to changes in how the 国际项目 budget is calculated and an unexpected drop in student enrollment the department requested district support in order to maintain the core services.
We are currently evaluating our SLO's to ensure continuous improvement of the program. Pre/Post Tests have been created and student surveys are being conducted to help determine the content of the Tests. SLO将得到改进, 实施了前后测试, and implementation of results from the tests during the following school year.
The International Program supports the college in meeting its student achievement standards by recruiting students to the campus and providing retention services when they enroll. We work with the Center for Academic Success to provide custom workshops and academic services to support international students. We also work with Transfer Counseling to provide custom workshops to support international students interested in transferring to a university. This supports the improvement of Completion Rates, Degree/Certificate Completion, and Transfer.
The International Program supports the college in meeting its 战略方向 and Priorities by:
加强包容性文化
(6.4.) 国际学生 enrich the campus and provide a global perspective on campus.
国际学生项目

策略一:提供学术和语言支持
Provide academic and language support to International students using a CAS教学辅助.
国际学生, 尤其是他们在E世博ESBALL的第一年, struggle with and spend an inordinate amount of time on homework because of language and context issues as well as difference in academic expectations and structure from their country of origin. 教学辅助, 能够协助, support and explain classroom assignments as well as mediate miscommunication between faculty and international students.
策略二:面向国际学生
改善国际学生定位.
像所有的新生一样, 国际学生 must attend Orientation as part of their matriculation to Butte College. 但是不像国内学生, their Orientation consists of three mandatory days and 1 optional day. The difference in the length of their Orientation is due to the number and complexity of topics that they must be introduced to such as immigration rules, 个人及公共安全, 课堂的期望, 调整问题, 美国医疗 & 教育系统等等.
策略3 -转移援助
改善转让援助.
International students are far more likely to transfer to a university upon completion at Butte College than domestic students. In addition, international students are apt to transfer to colleges and universities out of state. 最后的, 吸引国际学生, Butte必须让海外的合作伙伴和家长放心, that their child has access to and can transfer to prestigious universities throughout the United States. 因此, providing the Transfer Center with funds to develop additional transfer agreements (TAGS), dual-admission letters and provide transfer workshops for international students is extremely important.
