  1. Shaping the Future of International Students at Honolulu Community College Presented to the CLT Monday, December 1, 2008 by Grace Funai

  2. Since Fall 2004, we have accepted approximately 64 international students. This is the result of no recruiting being done by HCC. LBRT – 19 ECE – 14 FT - 6 AERO – 5 CA - 4 CENT, COSM, AEC – 3 each AVIT & AJ – 2 each MARR, CARP, HSERV - 1 Current and Past Enrollment

  4. Enrollment for Spring 2009 • Anticipate 10 new international students. 2 LBRT, 2 AVIT, 1 AERO, 2 ECE, 1 COSM, 1 HSER, 1 HELA • Minimum tuition revenue increase for Spring 2009: $31,680 • Several students already registered for more than 12 credits for spring

  5. Added Benefits of Having International Students at HCC • Conscientious students, work hard and are serious about their studies • Provide added dimension to campus climate and enhance our diverse student body • Help to fill low enrolled program areas • Strong retention and graduation rates

  6. What’s the Problem? • As of Fall 2008, DSO’s Jarren Uyehara, Kim Kawamura, Judy Naumu, Beng Poh Yoshikawa and Violet Bauer all left HCC, leaving a void of responsibilities for both credit and non-credit international students. • This void has not been addressed, leaving HCC at risk of not being in compliance with immigration regulations.

  7. Recertification is Coming!! • As early as January 2009 • No appeals process for schools that are found to be non-compliant • Immediate loss of access to SEVIS, and inability to host future international students

  8. Reporting inconsistencies in SEVIS, lack of attention to SEVIS alerts Proper collection and maintenance of required documents. Formal channels of communication. Formal documentation of student information and action. Documented evidence of HELA program meeting minimum requirements. TSA clearance Areas of Concern

  9. Upcoming Changes • Introduction of SEVIS 2 next year • Recertification process • Increased reporting requirements for students on OPT • Continuous immigration updates/changes that consistently need to be monitored and implemented
