32 FRESNO STATE COLLEGE
INTERNATIONAL (FOREIGN) STUDENTS
Fresno State College regularly enrolls a significant number of students from
abroad. The International Student Counseling Office staff, under the direction of
the Student Counseling Center, assists foreign students with academic and personal
problems, and housing (see Student Housing), as well as governmental and legal
aspects of their stay. A special orientation program is planned and required of all
foreign students prior to registration. Students should notify the International
Student Counseling Office of their arrival plans and consult them immediately upon
arrival on campus for verification of enrollment, orientation, and assistance (see
Regulations and Procedures-Admissions).
Students from abroad must have sufficient understanding and proficiency in use
of the English language to be successful in their course work at Fresno State
College (see Englisb Proficiency Test for Foreign Students). A special program
of English language and American studies courses is available to assist students
whose previous instruction has been in a language other than English. (See International
Studies-Campus Program). Except for the few who are employed as
graduate assistants, students must have sufficient funds so that they will not need
employment during the first year at the college and should plan to register for the
minimum legal number of courses each semester, which for undergraduate students
on "F" or "J" type visas is 12 units and for graduate students is 6 units. These are
the minimum-unit loads foreign students must carry in order to keep their student
visas valid and to qualify for a partial fee waiver (see Scbedule of Fees). They
are also required to participate in the college health insurance program.
The International Student Counseling Office also coordinates campus and community
activities for foreign students. These are designed to enhance their educational
experiences. in the United States. Students should consult the International
Student Counseling Office for information pertaining to these activities. Foreign
graduate students should refer to the Scbool of Graduate Studies.
STUDENT ABSENCES
Students are expected to maintain regular attendance at classes. Extended absences
(more than one week) due to illness, death in the immediate family, or
other extraordinary emergencies, should be reported immediately to the Counseling
Office which will notify the faculty concerned. When any absence occurs, however,
the student should contact the instructors involved concerning the possibility
of making up the work missed.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The objective of the Student Health Service is to keep the student in a state
of optimum health, both physically and mentally, so that he may realize to the
fullest the opportunities afforded by Fresno State College. The health services are
sponsored jointly by the college and the student body, the latter participating by
means of a $2 health fee each semester.
The Student Health Service is housed in its own building, with four wellequipped
doctors' suites, physiotherapy, laboratory and X-ray facilities, nurses'
treatment rooms, secretarial office, and waiting room. It is open each school day
during hours posted at the entrance to the building. At these times registered nurses
are on duty and physicians are available for consultation. Many medical specialties
are represented among the part-time and full-time physicians, affording a high
standard of medical care.
During hours when the offices are closed, a qualified student may secure the
services of his own physician, in which case the Student Health Service will
allow $5 toward the cost of one office visit or $10 toward the cost of one residence
visit for any one illness. In addition, an excellent student sickness and accident
insurance policy is offered through the Health Service.
