Required students are typically asked to complete GPP to enhance their written, reading, and oral English skills to meet requirements to serve as a Teaching Assistant. If you are required to join, you should indicate (or should have indicated) your intent to take GPP to ISSP so they can issue you the proper I-20 with an earlier entry date into the U.S.

If you need to adjust your entry dates, please contact our advising team at istudent@ucsc.edu for assistance.

ISSP is happy to provide accommodations to make this event inclusive for all students (e.g. you are in a wheelchair and need mobility assistance, you are hard of hearing and need an assistive listening device, etc.).

Kindly let us know if you need accommodations. Our team will reach out individually to those that indicate "yes" to provide support.

Other:

On-Campus Housing located in "The Village" is available for GPP students at an additional cost of $40.05 (double occupancy) or $48.81 (single occupancy) per night. This cost does not include meals. *

Please indicate your housing intent below. This allows our team to track and make sure you have properly registered for on-campus housing prior to your arrival. Interested applicants should register for GPP On-Campus Housing Registration.

We strongly encourage you to consider the on-campus housing option as it is located closer to classes and is likely to be more affordable than other temporary housing options such as hotels, hostels, or Airbnb.

I am interested in on-campus housing and will register using the GPP Housing form.

I am not interested in on-campus housing and will find my own accommodations for the duration of GPP.

Other:

Are you interested in coordinating with fellow GPP participants for a ride-share/travel companion from the airport to Santa Cruz? *

We are happy to connect GPP participants with one another to find a ride-share/travel companion from either SFO or SJC airports. While we are eager to help, we cannot guarantee that a companion will be available depending on your arrival date and times, but will do our best to coordinate.

Yes, I am interested. I give permission to share my contact information with other participants.

No, I am not interested at this time.

Flight Information

Please let us know your flight arrival information (if available) to either SFO or SJC. If you do not have this information yet, please leave blank.
