In the University Preparation Academy (UPA), I developed specific skills that will be imperative during my MBA program. This preparation will make a positive impact in my performance and confidence, because when the MBA classes begin I will be focusing on learning my field and not on adapting to the American university culture and study skills requirements. My main professor in the UPA program is not only the most prepared teacher I have had, but also the one that has helped me the most in the tough process of preparing for success in a master’s program. In addition to studying, I had an amazing experience taking part in a 5K running course through the UC San Diego campus. It was a full-moon night and all the buildings were beautifully illuminated. The view and the environment were fantastic and I had an exhilarating time.

Mission Statement of the English Language Institute It is our mission to provide English language instruction of the highest quality, in which people can learn to their full potential, develop a deeper understanding of the United States, and always receive courteous and knowledgeable service.

Important Notes: Not all elective courses are offered in every quarter or at every level. The choice of elective courses offered depends on the student’s English level and sufficient enrollment in the courses. UCSD-ELI reserves the right to make decisions on how to handle all issues related to a student’s program placement and the ELI’s needs for staffing and resource allocation.

Advisory About Variable Enrollments Enrollment numbers in our Academic, Conversation, and Conversation and Fluency programs vary greatly from month to month. If our placement tests indicate that a student’s English proficiency level does not permit placement in the original 2- or 4-week program class, we may place the student in 2 or 4 weeks of study in a corresponding 4-week or 10-week program, or we may provide a combination of classes to ensure a full-time program of 20 hours per week for 2 or 4 weeks. Alternatively, we may decide to place all 2- or 4-week program students in level-appropriate classes in a corresponding 4-week or 10-week program in order to provide a program of 20 hours per week for 2 or 4 weeks. When this happens the students’ 2- or 4-week program will have the features described for the new 4- or 10-week program, not the features described for the original program. The tuition and fees for the students’ 2- or 4-week program enrollment will remain the same.

Wataru Horinouchi Japan

I’m a pharmaceutical student and one of my goals is to be able to discuss medical issues in English. In that regard, Medical English was extremely helpful to me. Not only did it provide me with basic medical knowledge and vocabulary, but also deep insights on a lot of medical topics, such as health care programs of several countries, the most common diseases in several countries, and so on. Only a few English Language Institutes have this course and I am certain I made the best choice among them.

My teacher was the best.

Work Experience and University Study Work Experience: Optional Practical Training (OPT) After one academic year (three consecutive quarters) of full-time study in a non-language program in the United States, students can apply for permission to work up to 12 months in their field of study as a practical application of what they have learned. This is called Optional Practical Training (OPT).

The International Student Services (ISS) staff will assist students with their application for OPT. The ISS staff has a very high success rate with OPT applications. They cannot, however, guarantee the approval of the application by the U.S. government.

Applying for Undergraduate Admission to UC San Diego

UC San Diego is an excellent university, and I like the environment. I feel very relaxed, comfortable, and happy here. The teachers are wonderful.

It is difficult to enter UC San Diego as a foreign student in the first year. It is much easier to transfer from a California community college (after two years of study) into the third year at UC San Diego. In recent years over 90% of transfer students come from California community colleges. This is the best pathway to under­ graduate UC San Diego admission for most international students.

Only the top 12.5% of California high school students are eligible for entry, but a much smaller percentage is accepted. universityofcalifornia.edu The California State University has 23 campuses, over 433,000 students, and is much more inclusive than the University of California system. The top 25% of California high school students are eligible for entry. calstate.edu The California Community Colleges has 109 campuses, over 2.8 million students, and provides the first two years of college education only.

University and Professional Studies (UPS) The UPS program is also suitable for working professionals who wish to improve their knowledge to help them stay current with industry trends and changes.

Universities in many countries count these credits towards their own bachelor’s or master’s degree programs.

Transferability is at the discretion of the home university and must be verified in advance by the student.

• In the fall, winter, and spring quarters, UPS students take a full-time program (12 units) consisting of UC San Diego and/or UC San Diego Extension courses in any combination.

The cool thing about the UPS program is that you can pick and choose classes from both UC San Diego Extension and UC San Diego main campus classes. I loved how I had full freedom to pick the classes that I wanted to fill up my 12 units.

Participating in this educational program does not in itself provide preference in admission to the University of California degree programs. Students interested in applying to UC degree programs should refer to the UC Admissions website, or the websites of other UC campuses they wish to attend, for details about their admissions process.

Enrollment is on a space-available basis Enrollment in all classes is on a space-available basis and requires instructor and/or departmental approval after the student arrives. If there are no available spaces, the instructor may require that the student wait for several days to see if any other students drop the class before enrolling a UPS student. Many class enrollments are not confirmed and completed until the second or third week of the quarter. It is especially difficult to get enrollment approvals for first-choice classes in our prestigious Economics department.

Important Information about choosing classes

Xuyan (Claire) Zhang P.R. China

UC San Diego has broadened my horizon.

The grading process is different from most Chinese schools, requiring reading assignments, in-class quizzes, projects, and class participation. As an international student, I got a lot of help from professors and teaching assistants during class and during their office hours. UC San Diego encourages international vision. I have been able to make friends from all over the world and deeply expand my thoughts and outlook on many things. Studying abroad is not easy— it requires you to balance study and having fun. However, as my dad says, “obstacles make a stronger you.”

Some graduate-level courses are not available to UPS students. UPS students may not enroll in graduate business courses at the Rady School of Management or any courses in the School of Medicine or the School of Pharmacy.

Most graduate-level courses at Scripps Institution of Oceanography are not open to visiting UPS students.

Availability of graduate-level courses in other departments is limited and strictly controlled for prerequisites.

UC San Diego Extension courses in Business and leadership, Management Development, Master of Advanced Studies, and Law are not permitted for enrollment through UPS. It is very important to be flexible in your course selection and include a list of 12 or more classes per quarter that you would like to take when applying for admission to the UPS program. For a complete list of all UC San Diego courses please see the “Full Schedule of Classes” section at: students.ucsd.edu For a list of UC San Diego Extension course offerings please see: extension.ucsd.edu/studyarea/index.cfm Students may also enroll in the UPS program in order to complete one or more of UC San Diego Extension’s part-time professional certificate programs.

Business Certificate Programs Overview

If you are an international student with advanced English language proficiency, and you are looking to launch or accelerate your career in business, then these business programs are just what you need to acquire the expertise necessary to advance in your career.

These business programs are designed specifically to add breadth and depth to your existing knowledge and skills and help you achieve your professional goals.

Starting in 2015, the business department is pleased to offer four programs:

• Business Essentials • Intermediate Business Essentials • Business Management • Project Management The popular Business Management and Business Essentials certificate programs offer students the opportunity to build job skills and knowledge or to prepare for graduate studies through an extensive introduction to U.S. business practices. To complement the classroom experience, internships are incorporated into both of these business programs, allowing each student the opportunity to apply what is learned in an American workplace and gain a competitive edge in the global job market.

Given the increased demand for project managers worldwide, the business department offers an intensive certificate program in Project Management that can be completed in two quarters.

Intermediate Business Essentials, is designed for the student who has earned a Bachelor’s degree and possesses a high-level proficiency in English. This post-baccalaureate, enriched business training option consists of one, two or three quarters of study.

The Business Management Certificate I received from UC San Diego Extension qualified me to pursue a career in banking.

My internship at the local bank turned into a full-time position through OPT. I started work as a Loan Operations Specialist, and after six months I was transferred to the position of Personal Banker. Five months later I was offered a job as a Credit Analyst.

All Business Certificate Programs 1. Can I apply without all the required documents?

No. You will need to wait to apply until you have all the required documents. The only exception is if you have all the required documents except the language score AND you are currently attending the UC San Diego Extension English Language Institute (ELI).

Only students who attend UCSD-ELI can apply for conditional acceptance to the business certificate programs.

2. What is conditional acceptance?

It means you are provisionally accepted based on all requirements except for the language score. This is strictly for students currently attending a 10-week English language program at UC San Diego Extension ELI. An acceptable language score is still required before you will be fully accepted.

3. Is there a deadline to apply?

Given the popularity of the programs, it is recommended to submit the application FIVE months in advance for the Business Essentials program and THREE months in advance for the other business programs. Admission is competitive, and not all applicants are admitted to the program. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHIN THE FINAL TEN DAYS BEFORE A PROGRAM’S START-DATE.

4. Is a car required?

Yes, access to a car or other reliable transportation is required, as some classes (day and/or evening) are located at the off-campus UC San Diego Extension facility (University City Center), which has very limited or no public transportation.

5. Can I add an extra quarter after I arrive?

Yes; however, if the student requests and is approved for a longer program, the student must pay a $500 USD Business Program Extension fee, plus any additional tuition required for the longer program. However, if the student requests and is approved for a longer program during the first week of classes in his/her first quarter, the Business Department will waive the $500 Program Extension fee.

I was an EFL teacher for six years before I came to UC San Diego Extension to take the TEFL Certificate program, and I was not as new to the subjects being taught in class as most of my classmates.

It was very beneficial to me.

General Information Minimum Age Requirement

Fees for Late Arrival and Late Registration

Withdrawals and Non-Refundable Fees

You must be at least 21 years old to apply to the business certificate programs, and 18 years old to enroll in other programs. Seventeen-year-old students may be admitted when living with an adult guardian and the parents submit a letter attesting to the student’s maturity. For more information please contact ipadmission@ucsd.edu. This age requirement does not apply to the Academic Connections International youth program.

If a student arrives on time and is not able to complete registration by the end of the first day of the program or if a new student arrives late, we will charge the student a $200 USD Late Registration Fee. Students should be sure to arrange their travel to San Diego and accommodations in advance so that they can be here for the first day of the program. The first day of the program is the published start-date in our brochure and on our website.

All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

The non-refundable, non-transferable fees are the following: application fee, testing, insurance, International Student Service, express mail, bankto-bank fees, program change, late registration, and cancellation fees.

When to Apply

If a student pays all fees to an agency, the student must bring an agency receipt to the program registration to verify that all payments to an agency have been made.

It is recommended to submit the application FIVE months in advance for the Business Essentials program and THREE months in advance for the other business programs. For all business certificate programs, no applications will be accepted within the final ten days before the published program startdate. Please see pages 2-3 for specific application deadlines for our TEFL and UPS programs. There are no application deadlines for our other programs.

All programs close when they are full, regardless of application deadlines. In any case, it is best to apply 12–16 weeks before the program start-date to allow enough time for us to process your application and for you to make your visa and travel arrangements.

NOTE: If the required proof of English proficiency or any other required application document is submitted later than the TEFL deadline, a $100 late-submission fee will be required if we are able to accommodate a late application review and if there is space in the program.

Certificates Certificates with the UC San Diego university seal are awarded upon successful completion of your program.

Excellent attendance and academic performance are essential for certificate eligibility in all programs.

We cannot accept payment by bank wire for the application fee or express mail fee. Please pay these fees by credit card or check (U.S. bank only).

It takes 10 – 15 business days for payments to be applied to a student’s account. Payments made by credit card are sometimes delayed because of credit card limits. Due to these delays, we strongly recommend that students or their agents complete payment of all tuition and fees at least 45 days before their program start-date to ensure timely receipt and recording of payment and to avoid delays in the beginning of the student’s program.

Students who applied through an agency or representative are subject to the agency refund policy and will receive any refund through their agency, not from UC San Diego.

All refund requests must be in writing. All charges are subject to change. Please inquire about current charges at time of with­drawal or change of program.

Refunds take approximately 5-6 weeks to process.
