These instructions will guide you through setting up your Evergreen email account, which is the primary inbox for college communication from this point forward, so make a habit to check it often. This email account will also give you access to MyEvergreen and Microsoft 365 tools like Word, Excel, and OneDrive.

MyEvergreen is your central hub for accessing personal information and campus services at The Evergreen State College. Check MyEvergreen often to stay on top of your academic and administrative tasks. Use the Student Status Portal to sign up for new student events, orientation and more. 

You will receive a special link and code from Admissions (admissions@evergreen.edu) to create your Evergreen account at your personal email address. Email CRMSupport@evergreen.edu for assistance with the Student Status Portal.

Your tuition deposit will reserve your seat and allow you to register courses once registration opens. Tuition deposits are non-refundable. 

How to pay your tuition deposit:

1. Log in to My Evergreen
2. Under "Community", select "Web Payment"
3. Under "Available items", select "Tuition Deposit"
4. Select the deposit relevant to your studies
5. Select your first quarter from the drop-down list (it is important this is correct)
6. Select “Add to payment”
7. Select “Pay now” and follow payment prompts

Once admitted, Admissions will send you an email regarding how to request an I-20 document for your F-1 student visa application. 

If you don't see the email in your inbox within a few days of receiving your admission offer (including the spam or junk folder), please notify the following departments:

• Admissions: admissions@evergreen.edu
• Office of International Programs and Services: international@evergreen.edu 

We recommend that students start the visa application as early as possible to ensure there is enough time for the visa interview appointment. Please refer to the International Student Visas page for how to apply for your student visa.

The Office of International Programs & Services will host a local shopping trip so that you can purchase items. Before buying something new, check with the Office of International Programs & Services to see if we have items left behind by previous international students.

All new international students and exchange visitors are required to attend International Student Orientation hosted by the Office of International Programs & Services.

At orientation, new students will engage in an overview of relevant regulations, get to know other international students, explore the local culture, and learn about campus resources and academic expectations at Evergreen.

Bring the following documents to the Office of International Programs & Services:

• Passport 
• F-1 or J-1 student visa
• I-20 or DS-2019
• Outstanding vaccine documentation

The Office of International Programs & Services will help you verify that you have a correct coursework during orientation. However, students can also verify their schedule through their My Evergreen account.

Unless otherwise approved, you must attend the first day of classes. Contact your instructor if you're unsure of the time and location. You are also expected to regularly check your Evergreen email.

If you are unhappy with your coursework, please contact the Office of International Programs & Services as soon as possible so we can help find suitable alternatives.

You are expected to pay your tuition and fees on time as described by Evergreen Financial Services. For prepayment plans, connect with Evergreen Financial Services before the tuition deadline.

J-1 Exchange Students

J-1 Exchange students receive a tuition waiver. However, fees are still charged to your student account and you are expected to pay them on time.

J-1 students must pay student services fees per quarter attended which cover Student Wellness Services, the Clean Energy Fee and CAB Renovation Fee. Other fees can be waived, but you must submit the waiver forms. Waiver forms are found on Financial Services.

Upon completion of your time at Evergreen, you can request an official transcript be sent to your home institution. Evergreen transcripts are ordered from Registration and Records.

Before ordering and paying for the transcript, ask your home institution if you can submit an unofficial academic history report (free of charge). If this is an option, email the Office of International Programs & Services and request they send your home institution the academic history report.
