如何成为加州大学伯克利分校的学生——孙莎莎的故事
（虚构学生）

孙莎莎，15岁，广东深圳国际学校高中一年级学生

参加说明会，了解机会
在广东深圳国际学校的一次说明会上，我得知美国的喜瑞都学院正在招收国内高中生参与国际双重学籍计划。这个项目让我不用离开中国，就可以一边完成高中课程，一边修读美国大学的学分！只要按照加州大学的必修课表修满34学分，我甚至可以直接转学到美国的加州大学。如果我每门课都拿A，还有丰富的课外活动经历，我转入伯克利或加州大学洛杉矶分校的几率就会非常高！即使不是门门A，我还可以通过TAG（转学保证）计划，转入UC Irvine、UC Santa Barbara、UC Davis、UC Santa Cruz、UC Merced或UC Riverside。辅导员还告诉我，有个台北来的同学成绩一般，但通过ADT计划顺利转到了加州州立大学长滩分校（CSU Long Beach），父母都为我感到开心，因为无论是加州大学还是加州州立大学，都是国内认可的名校。
申请条件
我的导师告诉我，想参加这个计划，我需要通过一个叫Duolingo的英语测试。我在家通过在线考试，轻松得到了80分，满足了喜瑞都学院的英语要求。我的朋友成龙没考过，但他决定自学，每月支付7.99美元或一年59.59美元的自学费用。另一位朋友郝努力没有信心，报名参加了Duolingo的英语补习班。
成为喜瑞都学院的学生
我和几位同学一起参加了一个由校长和美国顾问主持的讲座，学习如何注册课程。我选修了第一堂课——舞蹈欣赏课。起初我有些疑惑，为什么想学计算机工程的我需要修舞蹈课。顾问解释说，这是加州大学的七门必修课之一，帮助我们熟悉Canvas教学平台。
学习体验
开始上课后，我很喜欢这种灵活的线上学习模式。尽管老师不直接授课，但我们要阅读大量文章，观看视频，并在线讨论和完成作业。老师还告诉我们，作为学生有义务按时完成任务，但同时也有权利提出疑问，讨论成绩。我们可以通过邮件联系老师，预约时间进行沟通。
优先注册权与支持
顾问告诉我们，注册后一周内可以退课并全额退款。我逐渐适应了在中国上美国网课的节奏，每学期都有专人帮助我注册课程和规划转学路线。
准备转学
我的专业是计算机工程，辅导员一直帮我规划课程。我已经修完了34学分，现在可以选择转学。如果我继续修到60学分，还可以拿到副学士学位，转学成功的几率会更高。
回顾与展望
站在伯克利大学的大门前，我无比自豪。我相信，只要继续努力，两年后我有机会进入斯坦福大学攻读硕士！希望我的经历对大家有所帮助。

Online Classroom Platform – Canvas Introduction
What is Canvas?

Canvas is a course management system that supports online learning and teaching. It allows professors to post grades, information, and assignments online. It is being used by universities and colleges all over the world. Canvas is used at Rio Hondo College to create online courses, to replace some of the normal time spent in the traditional classroom (“hybrid” or “blended”) or to supplement traditional classes (“web-enhanced”). While online and hybrid courses are clearly indicated in the schedule of classes, web-enhanced courses are not.

Canvas offers discussion boards for asynchronous discussions, chat rooms for live discussions, centralized email (Canvas Conversations), so you can stay in touch with your instructor and communicate with other students, and even a way to submit assignments and take exams. Canvas provides you with a password-protected online classroom in which you will submit your work and communicate with your instructor and classmates. Note that your instructor uses the tools provided by Canvas to create his or her own virtual classroom, so just as your face-to-face courses vary significantly, so will your online courses. Becoming familiar with the Canvas environment and its tools is the first step in succeeding in your online course.

Canvas provides the tools to support online learning in a variety of ways. This can range from structured learning pathways to dynamic, interactive virtual classrooms. How a course is presented online depends on the content and complexity of the learning material and the delivery methodology used by the instructor.

As with any classroom, it is a changing environment – expect each module to apply different tools and techniques. Join in, ask questions, and participate as you would in any classroom.

什麼是Canvas？

Canvas是一個支援線上學習和教學的課程管理系統。它允許教授在線發布成績、資訊和作業。它被世界各地的大學和學院所使用。 Cerritos 學院使用 Canvas 創建線上課程，以取代在傳統課堂上花費的一些時間。

Canvas 提供用於非同步討論的討論板、用於即時討論的聊天室、集中電子郵件（Canvas 對話），以便您可以與您的講師保持聯繫並與其他學生交流，甚至還提供一種提交作業和參加考試的方式。 Canvas 為您提供一個受密碼保護的線上教室，您可以在其中提交作業並與老師和同學交流。請注意，您的講師使用 Canvas 提供的工具來創建他或她自己的虛擬教室，因此正如您的面對面課程有很大差異一樣，您的線上課程也會有很大差異。熟悉 Canvas 環境及其工具是線上課程成功的第一步。

Canvas 提供了以多種方式支援線上學習的工具。這可以是結構化的學習途徑，也可以是動態的、互動的虛擬教室。線上課程的呈現方式取決於學習材料的內容和複雜性，以及教師使用的授課方法。

與任何教室一樣，這是一個不斷變化的環境 – 期望每個模組應用不同的工具和技術。像在任何課堂上一樣加入、提問和參與。

Useful tool: Assist.org

How to use Assist.org
When transferring from a community college to a University of California (UC) campus, ASSIST.org is a key tool to help you plan your coursework and ensure that the classes you take will transfer effectively. Here’s how you can use ASSIST to guide your transfer process:

1. Access ASSIST

Go to ASSIST.org, the official online transfer and articulation system for California’s public colleges and universities.
This website provides details on how community college courses are accepted for credit at UC and California State University (CSU) campuses.

2. Select Your Institution and Target UC Campus

On the home page, choose the community college you’re currently attending from the drop-down list.
Then, choose the UC campus you wish to transfer to.

3. Explore Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements show which courses at your community college fulfill specific UC campus requirements.
You can choose a major to see the relevant agreements for that field of study.
For instance, if you’re planning to transfer into UC Berkeley’s Computer Science program, ASSIST will display the courses at your community college that match UC Berkeley’s lower-division major requirements.

4. Check Transferable Courses

Review which courses at your community college are transferable to UC.
General education requirements: Look for agreements that outline which courses satisfy the UC’s General Education/Breadth Requirements.
Major preparation: ASSIST will show you what specific courses you need for your chosen major, such as math or science prerequisites.

5. Plan Your Coursework

Based on the articulation agreements, plan your community college classes to make sure they meet both the General Education requirements and your major preparation for your intended UC campus.
Be strategic about course selection to maximize credit transfer and stay on track for timely graduation after you transfer.

6. Cross-reference with UC Transfer Pathways

UC has created Transfer Pathways for many popular majors. You can use these pathways to check that your community college courses align with UC-wide transfer requirements. This works hand-in-hand with ASSIST to ensure you’re on the right track for any UC campus.

7. Monitor Updates

ASSIST.org is updated periodically, so it’s essential to check regularly to ensure that the articulation agreements and transfer policies haven’t changed.

By using ASSIST, you’ll have a clear roadmap for the courses you need to take, helping you avoid taking non-transferable courses and ensuring you meet all the requirements for a smooth transfer to the UC system.

我们接受以下三类学生

Online Enrollment: This program is tailored for adult students who prefer to take classes online from their home country without the need for an F-1 visa. For new applicants, we have developed an IGETC pattern specifically for these students. The class lists are available on our new website. In addition to the course sequences, comprehensive application instructions are provided there for students, parents or guardians, and school administrators.

只在喜瑞都学院线上课：该项目专为那些希望在本国在线上课且无需申请 F-1 签证的成人学生量身定制。针对新申请者，我们专门为这些学生设计了 IGETC 课程模式。课程列表可在我们的新网站上找到。除了课程顺序外，网站还为学生、家长或监护人以及学校管理员提供了全面的申请指南。

Concurrent Enrollment: Intended for students already in the US with an F-1 visa and I-20, taking 1 or 2 classes at Cerritos College while being enrolled full- time at another institution. The fall cohort primarily consisted of concurrent enrollment students rather than dual enrollment students. We recommend the students follow the recommended classes for the IGETC Certificate (available on both a 2-year and a 3-year plan) or one of the two degrees on our webpage. If they have individualized needs, we will have counselors available for them.

同时在喜瑞都学院和另一所学院上课：适用于已经持有 F-1 签证和 I-20 在美国的学生，这些学生在另一所学校全日制学习的同时，在 Cerritos College 修读 1 到 2 门课程。秋季班的学生主要由同时注册的学生组成，而不是双重注册的学生。我们建议学生按照 IGETC 证书（提供两年计划和三年计划）或我们网站上的两个学位之一的推荐课程表来学习。如果他们有个性化需求，我们会提供辅导员帮助他们。

. International Dual Enrollment: For current middle/high school students aiming to earn college credits. This requires parental consent and a recommendation from a school administrator. We will have these students follow the three-year IGETC plan.

国际高中生双重注册：适用于当前希望获得大学学分的初中/高中学生。这需要家长的同意以及学校管理员的推荐。我们会让这些学生遵循三年的 IGETC 计划。

Students who hold a B Visa can enroll in Noncredit courses. Students who hold a J or M Visa ( student visa) cannot study in NonCredit Courses

什麽是 B visa
The B visa for international students in the U.S. is not intended for formal academic study. Instead, it is a nonimmigrant visa designed for temporary visitors under the following categories:

B-1 Visa (Business Visitors): For individuals visiting the U.S. for business-related purposes, such as attending conferences, negotiating contracts, or consulting with business associates.
B-2 Visa (Tourists): For individuals visiting the U.S. for tourism, vacation, visiting family, medical treatment, or participation in social or cultural events.

Key Characteristics for International Students:

No Work Authorization: Employment is not allowed on a B visa. Visitors are strictly prohibited from engaging in any paid or unpaid work.

Short-Term Study Restrictions: The B visa allows for recreational or short-term courses (e.g., language or hobby classes) that do not count toward a degree or academic certification. For example, taking a two-week photography workshop is permissible under a B-2 visa.

Prohibited Activities: Enrolling in formal academic programs (e.g., college or university degree programs) is not allowed. International students intending to pursue full-time education must apply for an F-1 visa (for academic studies) or M-1 visa (for vocational studies).

Limited Duration: Typically, B visas are granted for periods ranging from a few months to a year. The exact duration is determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry.
