Coffee Talk
Coffee Talk is a weekly social hour for international students
and their friends to enjoy delicious snacks and hang out! It’s
also a great opportunity to take a break from classes and meet
new people.
It’s every Tuesday from 11:30 - 1:30, at Building 1/Room 206

What Are My Grading Options For
College-level Classes? When you register for a college-level class, you can choose between two grading options: 1)
Letter grade (A, B, C, D or F) or 2) Pass/No Pass (P/NP). The default option is automatically
set for you to receive a letter grade for all of your classes. You can change your grading
option in MyLane any time during the first 8 weeks of the term by clicking on the My
Enrollment tab and then Change Class Options in the upper left. The deadline to change your
grading option to P/NP is November 16 (Friday of Week 8) at 11:59 pm. The only reason
you should change your grade to P/NP is if you are sure you won’t pass the class and you
want to protect your GPA because an NP does not affect your GPA. Make sure to meet with
an advisor before you change your grade to P/NP and verify that it can count towards your
degree. Never drop a class if it means you would drop below 12 credits because then you will
be out of status!
Immigration Updates
Traveling over the break? Don't forget to come in to fill out a Leave Request Form and get
your I-20 signed before you go. Just fill out the Leave Request Form and drop it off with
your I-20 in 11/235 and we'll have it ready for you to pick up the next day.

If you are leaving Lane at the end of the term because you are graduating, transferring
schools or returning home, then please fill out the Leave Request Form and come see an
International Advisor for a quick exit interview. We will help you with any paperwork you
may have and need to know that you are not returning so we can report your I-20 status
correctly.
Also, if you are planning on traveling to Canada during the break between fall and winter
terms, be sure to check to see if you need a special visa for Canada. The applications for
visitor's visas to Canada now takes 6 weeks to process and you have to apply by mail. Here
is a website with visa requirements and application information:
