❗️ Spring 2022 Updates ❗️
All students taking in-person classes at SRJC in Spring 2022 must be fully vaccinated. You must provide proof of your vaccination in Cleared4 within 2 weeks of registering for an in-person class, or you will be dropped from that class. If you aren’t vaccinated yet, the process can take up to 6 weeks, so you should start as soon as possible!

Any F-1 student traveling to the U.S. must be fully vaccinated with negative test results (CDC guidelines). Spring 2022 classes are about 60% online. New F-1 students must take some in-person classes. Continuing F-1 students who haven’t left the United States since March 9, 2020, may continue to enroll fully online.

Meet Naoki!
Hi guys! I’m Naoki Hashimoto from Japan. I’m enjoying my first-year stay in America myself. Because my major is hospitality, I’m studying about it in the class. As you know, a big star came into this big country’s baseball world. Yes, Otani did! Although I’m not playing baseball at all, I really like to watch his play so much! I would like to work at a hotel in the future. As the matter of fact, a part of the reason why I came here is to study English to welcome as many guests as I could in Japan. My favorite song is “end of a life -Calliope Mori.” May the happiness be with you.
