Alone Together
Wednesday, July 1, from 1-2pm PST
We are alone together. CAPS & ISPO are offering an Emotional Support Forum for International Students! Sharing connection, coping strategies, physical and psychological safety will help us fuel resilience. This is a weekly drop-in forum and every international student is welcome. Together, we will help you manage in the face of the enormous psychological strain that COVID-19 is generating. This forum will be led by CAPS Psychologist Dr Sophia Chang.

English in Action
English in Action will be running over the summer! The English-in-Action (EIA) conversation program to help you improve your conversational English language skills and exchange cultures with your conversation partner. Currently, the meetings are remote over your desired app until the campus re-opens again.

Summer Enrollment. Am I Required To Take Classes in the Summer?

F-1 and J-1 students are not required to enroll in the summer sessions unless it is their very first term at UC San Diego (as listed on their Form I-20/DS-2019). However, if you wish to take a class in the summer to retake a course for a better grade, get ahead, or simply keep busy this summer - you may!
