650-3922 Fax (360) 650-6858 http://www.wwu.edu/auap/ Dear AUAP Students: Welcome to the Asia University America Program at Western Washington University! Our entire staff has been preparing for your arrival and we’re looking forward to meeting each one of you. As you begin the AUAP at Western, we simply want to remind you that you are going to experience an English language and cultural orientation program, which can be characterized by its unique “balance”… It offers great fun and adventure… but it also requires serious, hard work. It is practical and conversational… but it also has a strong academic side. It will help you converse more confidently and fluently… and it will also challenge you to think critically and seriously. We will do everything possible to help you experience this “balance” and to make your AUAP experience a time of great adventure, great challenge, and great opportunity.

You need your passport, I-20, and I-94 to re-enter the U.S. AU Travel Restrictions Asia University wishes to emphasize a safe and successful AUAP experience. In order to encourage the safety of its students, the university has designed the following policy. In this policy, travel is limited to North America, specifically within the U.S.A. and Canada. However, the university discourages students from traveling by air. 1. Students may travel freely in the following areas: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and Alberta. 2. For any travel outside the aforementioned areas, students must obtain written consent from their parents. 3. Violators of any of the above items will be immediately repatriated, even if discovered later in the program. Water Activities Policy As a rule, water activities are prohibited. All outdoor water (sea, ocean, lake, pond, river, etc.) activities, including swimming, sailing, river rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and small boat riding are prohibited.

To actively participate, you must attend classes every day and come to classes on time. You must also demonstrate a positive attitude of respect and cooperation toward your instructors and classmates. All AUAP universities have the following attendance and participation policy: The goal is 100% attendance. Two tardies (lates) equal one absence. A tardy is from 1 minute to 10 minutes late. If you come to class more than 10 minutes late, you will be marked absent. Student participation, conduct, and attitude will be monitored throughout the program. Students who are disruptive in class, including the excessive use of Japanese, will be asked to leave the classroom and will be counted as absent. If you repeatedly miss class, come to class late, or your behavior is considered inappropriate, you will receive a warning letter from the AUAP Committee. A copy of this letter will be sent to your parents. For absences, the warning letter will be sent to you if you miss 20 hours of instruction. There will be no excused absences. If you miss 35 hours of instruction, the AUAP Committee will dismiss you from AUAP, and you will be required to return to Japan immediately. According to the AUAP Pledge, which you signed when you registered for AUAP, the AUAP Committee has the right to repatriate you at any time. The AUAP-WWU Director is required to report your attendance to Asia University on a regular basis. 11 Grading Policy Your homework, class work, quizzes, examinations, special projects, and class participation are all included in your grade for each class. All AUAP universities have the same grading criteria: participation, homework, and examinations. A certain percentage of your grade will be based on each of these criteria (see below). At the beginning of the cycle, your teachers will explain how your grades are calculated for each class. AUAP classes fall into two terms. At the end of each term, you will receive a final grade. In assigning grades, the following scale is used by all AUAP universities: 95-100% 84-94% 70-83% 60-69% Below 60% AA A B C D Course Name International Communication/Global Issues Integrated English Skills Participation Homework Examinations 30% 35% 35% 30% 35% 35% TOEIC 30% 35% 35% 30% 35% 35% 40% 20% 40% 30% 35% 35% Career Exploration Functions American Studies Attendance-Grading Policy Attendance-Grading Policy In each class, your grade will drop 3% for each absence. The first absence is not counted. The penalty will start from the second • absence. • Exception (例外): Medical problems with a Student Statement of Absence from Class for Medical Reasons Form that has been completed by the student at the Student and Course Services (SCS) Office in CH 133. The SCS Office will forward this form in to the Curriculum Coordinator. 出席、成績の方針 1. 欠席 1 回につき最終成績から3%差し引かれます。このペナルティーは2回目の欠席から開始されます。 2. 例外:病気、怪我の時に CH133 で Medical Explanation の用紙を記入してください。スタッフののサインの入っ た用紙をスタッフが Curriculum Coordinator に提出するので、その場合のみ同日の欠席は免除されます。 12 AUAP Classroom Expectations English Only - As a student in the AUAP, you should do your best to speak English only—both in your classes and among your friends outside of class. The students who are the most successful in improving their English skills are those who use English at every available opportunity. Participation - Your active class participation is absolutely essential to your success in the AUAP. Your participation should include: (1) interacting in pairs and small groups, (2) asking questions, (3) using English as much as possible to communicate, (4) volunteering responses to your teachers' questions, and (5) paying careful attention to all class activities. Sleeping in Class - Sleeping in class is considered to be extremely rude. If you consistently feel sleepy in class, you should adjust your daily sleeping habits. Attendance - As an AUAP student, you are expected to attend 100% of your classes. Your absences will be excused only in cases of major illnesses or injuries. Absent students should understand that they are responsible for finding out what class work they missed and for making arrangements to complete this work. Tardiness - You are expected to arrive at your classes on time. If you arrive late to class, it is appropriate to give your teacher (after class) an explanation and an apology. Homework - Most of your classes will involve daily homework, such as reading, writing, or interviewing assignments. You can expect to spend approximately two hours per day on the completion of homework assignments. Appointments - If you have a question or problem in one of your classes, it is your responsibility to make an appointment with your teacher to talk about it. Teachers normally have specific office hours during which they are available for student appointments. Evaluation - In each class, you will be evaluated throughout the course of study—not just at the end of the course. Quizzes, examinations, class participation, homework assignments, preparation for class, and improvement throughout the course are all important parts of your evaluation. It is a mistake to think that test scores alone will determine your final grade. 13 AUAP Expectations Quiz A. Write T (true) or F (false) for each of the sentences below. _____ 1. If you feel sleepy in class, you should put your head on your desk and take a nap. _____ 2. Speaking only English in class will help you learn to communicate better in English. _____ 3.

Your final ______________ in your classes are based on your attendance, participation, ________________, and test scores. 14 AUAP Class Sections Your TOEIC scores, FEP rating from Asia University, and your oral interview at WWU have been used to determine your AUAP class section. Your AUAP instructors want to help you improve your English as quickly as possible. To make this improvement, you need to be in classes that are challenging, but not too difficult. If your classes seem too difficult or too easy for you, you should complete a Request to Change Section form and talk to your instructors. Your instructors will then meet together to discuss your performance in classes and your reasons for thinking that your classes are too difficult or too easy. (See sample form in Appendix, Section 11). AUAP staff members want you to be in classes that will help you improve your English. Work hard in your classes and ask questions when you have them. 15 Section 4: Course Details COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND OBJECTIVES Integrated English Skills Course Description: The overall goal of the Integrated English Skills (IES) course (three hours per week) is to develop the student’s ability to communicate in English through the practice of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Community Friends This program gives AUAP students the opportunity to interact with American families. Participating students are matched with a family in the Bellingham community. Your Community Friend family will invite you to share in an activity or for a home visit. This is a great way to learn more about Americans as well as share some elements of Japanese culture with interested people. Students enjoy teaching origami to children, cooking traditional Japanese food, teaching Japanese games and sharing pictures of family. The AUAP student is responsible for maintaining contact and arranging times to meet with their Community Friend; this means returning phone calls and emails. The AUAP student is also responsible to share ideas and feelings about life in the US, to share about life in Japan, and to send a thank you card. Campus Friends This is a program that gives AUAP students an opportunity to practice English and learn more about American culture and university life. American students at Western Washington University volunteer to meet with one AUAP student one hour a week for a quarter. During this hour AUAP students can practice their English, discuss topics of interest, enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the coffee shops on campus, or do other activities together. AUAP students are responsible for maintaining contact and arranging times to meet with their Campus Friend; this means returning phone calls and emails. Program-Sponsored Events The AUAP sponsors a variety of activities for student participation and enjoyment. Activities may include: all-day excursions to Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia; Campus and Community Friend Events; a Japanese cultural night; goodbye parties; a talent show and an outing to a professional sports game. 21 Hall Activities There will be several WWU residential hall activities for you to participate in. These activities are designed to help you take the initiative in getting involved with Americans in your residence hall. Some activities in the past have included movie nights, craft nights, banana split nights, and outdoor BBQs. Ask your RA or IPA for information about activities in your residence hall. Hall activities are an excellent way to meet Americans and practice your English. Other Activities The WWU-AUAP also offers other activities for student involvement. Some examples of these activities may include club activities; visiting local areas of Bellingham for shopping and sightseeing; volunteering with children, the elderly, and outdoors; going to movies; meeting other international students; going ice-skating or bowling; and participating in an Outdoor Center activity such as hiking or camping. The IPAs plan activities in the residence halls and on campus as well, e.g. soccer games, game nights, karaoke, and potlucks.

Student Notification: The student(s) involved receives notification via their University email account regarding a meeting with their Resident Director (RD). The RD may refer an incident to another RD, Assistant RD, Assistant Director of Residence Life, or the University Conduct Officer, who will then serve as the conduct officer. Conduct Meeting: At this meeting the conduct officer first asks the student how things are going in general, then asks for their perspective on the specific incident, reviews the incident report and discusses any other relevant information. Be honest with the conduct officer; the conduct system is educational in nature so expect your meeting to be a conversation. If you are unable to attend your conduct meeting it is your responsibility to notify the conduct officer to request rescheduling. Conduct Decision: After reviewing the available information, the conduct officer determines whether a violation has occurred, the degree to which the student was responsible, and appropriate sanction(s). Decision Letter: The student receives notification of the decision in the form of a conduct letter via their University email account within seven business days of the conduct meeting. The student is notified if there are extenuating circumstances that delay the letter beyond seven days.

Standard of Decision-Making 判断の基準 The Conduct Officer uses the available information to determine if it is more likely that a student did or did not violate University Residences policy. 行動責任者は有効な情報を元に生徒が大学寮の規律の違 反をしたかどうかを判断します。 Consistency & Fairness 判断の一貫性と公正さ All proceedings, including the initial conduct meeting, are carried out in a manner that is informal and assures fundamental fairness. Conduct officers evaluate each student's situation individually when deciding the most appropriate action to take. When sanctions occur, they may vary from student to student, even when a similar policy violation occurs. This is because multiple factors are considered in deciding the best sanction for the individual, including the details of the current incident, the student's previous conduct history, their 行動責任者との会議を含む全ての手順では根本的な公正 さを保障します。行動責任者はそれぞれの生徒の状況を 個々のものとして見、適切な判断をします。処罰が必要 だと判断された場合、例え似たような問題が起きたとし ても各生徒の状況により処罰が変わる可能性がありま す。これはその学生個人にとって一番適切な処罰を定め るのにさまざまな要素(問題の詳細、学生が以前にも問 題を起こしているかどうか、会議中の態度、コミュニテ 41 behavior during the incident and at the conduct meeting, and the actual, intended and potential impact of their behavior on the community. ィーをどれほど影響したか・影響するつもりだったか、 等)を考慮しているからです。 Sanctions 制裁 When a student has been found responsible for violating a policy, one or more disciplinary actions may result. Disciplinary actions are intended to hold students accountable for policy violations, and to educate and guide students toward making good choices and informed decisions in the future. In some cases, interim sanctions may be imposed. An interim sanction is not an indication of a violation; it is simply a community safeguard until a decision about a possible violation(s) can be made. Interim sanctions remain in place until the conduct process is completed. If an interim sanction is violated, the resident may be removed from the halls and referred to the University Conduct Officer for further action. In addition to being subject to possible sanctions, behavior that violates local, state or federal law (e.g., theft, assault, rape, illegal drug or alcohol activity) is referred to University Police.

Decisions made by the Appeal Officer are final. 上訴をする場合、まず最初の判断がどのように誤ってい た・不適切であったかを上訴責任者に表さなければなら ない(行動責任者との会議で不在だったというのは上訴 する理由にはなりません)。上訴責任者は不服申し立て 用紙、問題の報告書、そして関連する手紙類を再考察し ます。更に上訴内容を検討するため、上訴責任者が学生 と会うこともあります。7 日以内に学生は最終判断を知ら されます。元の判断が維持される、修正される、又は覆 されることもあります。ただし上訴責任者が下した判断 が最終判断でそれ以上の不服申し立ては出来ません。 Confidentiality 秘密性 All records resulting from conduct proceedings are maintained by Residence Life, including Incident Reports, conduct letters, emails and appeals. Records are not available to any member of the public without written consent of the student involved, except as noted within applicable laws. For example, when information is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student or other persons, certain exceptions are authorized under WAC 516-26-085, Release of Information in Emergencies. Family Notification The Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA) was amended in 1998, giving universities the right to inform families of dependent students who have violated drug or alcohol policies. WWU notifies parents/guardians when a student's housing is in jeopardy due to a drug or alcohol violation, including probation, deferred eviction or immediate eviction. Students are told in advance that their families will be notified, and they are urged to initiate contact first. Please talk with your Resident Director if you have questions or concerns. 事件報告書、判断報告書、不服申し立てを含むこれらの 手順の記録はすべて Residence Life に保管されます。この 記録は当事者の許可がない限り(又は内容により法律で 許されていない限り)、一般には公開されません。例え ば当事者、そしてその他の人間の健康に危険がある場 合、WAC 516-26-085 に基づき、緊急事態での情報の公開 が認められています。 家族への連絡 家族の教育権個人情報保護法(FERPA)は 1998 年に改正 され、大学に薬物・アルコールポリシーに違反している 生徒の家族にそれを通知する権利を与えました。学生が 薬物・アルコール問題のせいで寮立ち退きの危険等の何 らかの処分を受ける可能性がある場合、当事者は前もっ て家族に報告が入ることを知らされ、先に家族に連絡す るよう勧められます。質問などがあれば寮の RD に連絡し てください。 Student Health and Safety The full version of this information is available at housing.wwu.edu/apps/safety/.

Meals& Dining Dollars ミールとダイニングドル Each meal plan includes a quarterly allocation of meals for use in any of the dining commons, plus 162 Dining Dollars. When you enter the dining commons, a swipe of your Western Card will deduct your visit from your meal balance. Dining Dollars can be used with a swipe of your card in any of the cafés and markets across campus or to buy additional meals in the dining commons. Unused meals expire at the end of the quarter; Dining Dollars carry over from one quarter to the next and expire at the end of the academic year. 各ミールプランには一学期分の食堂で食べられるミール、 そして 162 ダイニングドルが含まれています。大学の食堂 を利用する場合、入場する際にカードを使用しミールをひ とつ引かれます。ダイニングドルはキャンパス内のカフェ やマーケット、更に大学の食堂で追加で食事を購入したい 場合使用できます。使われなかったミールは一学期の終わ りで失効しますが、ダイニングドルは次の学期に引き継が れ、春学期が終わると失効します。 53 Viking Dollars • • • • ヴァイキングドル Viking Dollars are a prepaid debit account that goes on your Western Card and can be used at all campus dining locations (except Vendors’ Row). Save 10% off the cash price and pay no sales tax when using Viking Dollars for food purchases made at campus dining commons, cafés and markets. Non-food items are subject to sales tax. Anyone with a Western Card can use Viking Dollars - you don’t need a meal plan to participate Viking Dollars never expire as long as you are at WWU. Upon graduating or leaving WWU, you may submit a written request for a refund of the remaining balance to University Dining Services, Edens Hall 109. Please allow 30 days for refunds to be processed. Appropriate Use of Your Meal Card ヴァイキングドルは Vendor’s Row を除くキャンパス全体で 利用できるプリペイドの口座からお金を引き落とすサービ スです。ウェスタンカードで利用できます。 ヴァイキングドルで買い物をすると免税に加え 10%の割引 が加えられます。これはダイニングホール、カフェ、マー ケットで使えます。食品以外の物は免税にはなりません。 ウェスタンカードさえあればヴァイキングドルを購入でき ます。ミールプランは必要ありません。 ウェスタンにいる限りヴァイキングドルに消費期限はあり ません。ウェスタンから出て行く時は残額を返金してもら うよう筆記でリクエストできます。これはダイニングサー ビス(Edens Hall 109)でしてください。返金には 30 日か かる可能性があります。 ミールカードの正しい使い方 Students who allow others to use their meal card will have their card confiscated and be subject to University misconduct proceedings. Students who use a card that is not their own will be subject to a fine of $10 plus the cost of the meal(s) eaten and will be subject to University conduct proceedings. Meal costs are predicated on the premise that you will be the only person using the meal card, and that you will miss a certain percentage of the meals available. When you lend your card to someone else, food service costs increase. The expense for Dining Service's operations is shared by all students; cost increases are passed on in the form of higher room and board rates. 他の生徒に自分のミールカードを貸した場合、カードを没 収され、不正行為として大学から審理されます。自分のも のではないカードを使った場合、食べた食事代と$10 の罰金 を請求され、不正行為として大学から審理されます。各ミ ールの値段はミールカードの持ち主のみが使うことを前提 に定められています。従って都合により食堂で食べられな い場合があることも考慮されています。もし他人にカード を使わせるなどすると食事サービスの費用が上がります。 食堂でかかる費用は全生徒が負担しています。費用が上が れば寮の部屋代・生活費用も上昇します。 Lost Meal Cards カードを紛失した場合 If your Western Card is lost or stolen, contact the Western Card Office at 360-650-7414 to see if your card has been turned in. You will be contacted through your MyWestern Email account to inform you if your Western Card is found. ウェスタンカードを紛失した、又は盗難にあった場合ウェ スタンカードオフィス(360-650-7414)に連絡して届けられて いるか確認しましょう。カードが見つかればウェスタンの メールアカウントに連絡がきます。 A replacement Western Card may be purchased for $8.00. This fee will be charged to your student account. Viking Dollars or meal plans tenders will be transferred to the new card. 代わりのウェスタンカードは$8 で購入できます。料金は学 生口座に請求されます。ヴァイキングドルやミールプラン は新しいカードに転送されます。 DINING ROOM EXPECTATIONS ダイニングホールで期待されていること The community nature of a university dining commons is unique. Unlike any other eating situation, elements of both a home atmosphere and a restaurant dining environment are present. Students must respect the rights of, and cooperate with, other diners in maintaining a clean and pleasant environment. We ask your cooperation in keeping the dining commons atmosphere one that everyone can enjoy. 大学食堂の雰囲気は独特です。他の飲食店とは違い、食堂 は家庭的でもありまたレストランのようでもあります。お 互いの権利を尊重しあい、清潔で気持ちの良い食堂の雰囲 気を保つように周りと協力しあいましょう。 54 Absences 欠席 Room and board charges take into consideration occasional missed meals. Therefore, refunds are not granted in the event of meal absences. However, if you are compelled to be out of Bellingham for five or more consecutive days owing to extenuating circumstances, you may request a refund of food charges by contacting University Dining Services in Edens Hall, Suite 109. Such an arrangement must be made in advance and your meal card must be turned in to the Dining Services office prior to your departure. 大学は授業、仕事、遠足などの都合で食堂で食べられない ことがあることを考慮してミールプランを立てます。従っ て食堂で食べることができないという理由に基づいた返金 はありません。ただし特別な理由で 5 日以上べリングハム から離れることがあれば Edens Hall 109 のダイニングサービ スに連絡をして食事代の返金を要請することができます。 その場合べリングハムを出る前に手配をしてください。 Take-Outs テイクアウト Your resident dining rates are based upon your being able to eat as much as you want while you are in the dining commons during meal hours. However, a sack lunch or dinner can be provided if you have a scheduling problem, such as a field trip, other class or work commitment, or official school or residence commons event, which will cause you to miss a meal. Your request must be presented to your Dining Commons Manager at least 24 hours in advance, or you may sign up for a sack meal at least 24 hours in advance. If you are too ill to eat your meal in a Resident Dining Commons, contact your Resident Commons staff to request a sick tray. If you are on a special diet for medical purposes and find that the necessary food is not provided by the regular menu, please contact your Dining Commons Manager. Written doctor's instructions may be required. ミールプランの価格はダイニングホールで好きなだけ食べ られるように設定されています。ただし、スケジュール上 ダイニングホールで食べられない(授業・学業、寮のイベ ントなどで都合が合わない)場合テイクアウトで食事を受 け取ることができます。テイクアウトのリクエストは 24 時 間前までにダイニングホールマネージャーに提出するか、 24 時間前までにオンラインで予約することができます。 体調を崩してダイニングホールで食事ができない場合、ダ イニングホールのスタッフに特別に「病人用トレイ」をリ クエストすることができます。もし特別な食習慣を持って いて普段のメニューで食事が取られない場合はダイニング ホールマネージャーに連絡してください。医者からの指示 が必要になるかもしれません。 55 Making Healthy Food Choices Higher Calorie Foods: Pizza French fries Clam chowder Hamburgers Salad dressing Bacon/sausage Cereal Bagels Cheese Mochas Lower Calorie Foods: Salad Soup Fruit Yogurt Chicken Tofu Counting Calories: (HIGH) · Mocha (2% milk & whip cream) - 270 / tall · Sugar Cereal - 170-200 / 8 oz. · Pepperoni Pizza—300 / piece · Clam Chowder—230 / 6 oz. · Bagel—400 / bagel & topping Counting Calories: (LOWER) · Mocha (nonfat milk & no whip cream) - 170 / tall · Low-fat yogurt - 60 / 6 oz. · Garden Salad —190 · Chicken Vegetable Soup—60 / 6 oz. · Turkey Sandwich —300 How many calories should you eat?

It is safer than Seattle or Vancouver, but you still need to be aware of personal safety. Here are several suggestions to help you keep yourself and your belongings safe during your stay in the United States. Room: ALWAYS lock your room, even if you are just going to the dining hall or to a friend's room. Make a list of your valuable property, such as cameras, expensive sports shoes, etc. Next to each item write the brand name, model name, serial number, a short description, and how much it is worth. Cash: Do not carry more than $100. In America, even $100 is a large amount of cash to be carrying. If you need to carry more than this, try to carry traveler's checks instead of money. Night: Do not walk anywhere alone at night. You should try to stay with at least one other person after dark, and you should try to use public transportation whenever possible. At WWU, special safety escorts called “Green Coats” are available to walk with you after dark. Please see the section about Green Coats for more information. Bicycles: Always lock your bike with a good lock. Make sure you lock the frame of your bike to something sturdy. If you only lock your wheel in, your bike will not be secure. Use a metal “U” lock. Ask your IPA to show you the best and safest places to lock up your bike. If possible, take it to your room at night. Helmets: WWU-AUAP strongly recommends that AUAP students adhere to AU’s Helmet Policy for their own safety and protection. AU Helmet Policy To better ensure your safety, please wear a helmet whenever cycling, skateboarding, snowboarding, or rollerblading, etc. *Helmets must be in accordance with standard codes. The university considers your safety the top priority. We trust that each of you will understand and cooperate fully with the new policy and that everyone will achieve their individual goals and return home to Japan in good health. AUAP Committee Chair Asia University Seat Belts: Always wear a seat belt when riding in a car. This is a Washington State law. There is a fine of up to $124 dollars for passengers who are not wearing a seatbelt while riding in a car. Important Documents: Always take your passport, I-20, and student ID when you leave campus, e.g. to the Greyhound bus station, to Seattle, or to Canada. If you lose any of these documents report it to the AUAP Office immediately. 83 University Police Department If you are a victim of crime, report the incident to the University police at: Emergency: 360.650.3911 Non-Emergency: 360.650.3555 The Police Department is located in the Campus Services Facility (CSF). It is at the intersection of 21st Street and Bill McDonald Parkway, just behind the softball field. It is in the same building as the Health Center. The University Police have the same authority as any other police office in the state of Washington. Officers are on duty 24 hours a day. In addition to reporting the crime to the University Police, report it to your IPA and an RA. Green Coats Green Coats are campus safety assistants. Green Coats can escort a person from one place on campus to another place on campus. They provide assistance primarily during hours of darkness, but may be requested at any time. To request a Green Coat: 1. Call 360-650-3555 2. Tell them: • Your name • Your campus address and phone number • Where you are on campus • Where you would like to go 84 Map of Bellingham 85 City of Bellingham Bellingham is a city of about 82,000 people, located in the northwest corner of Washington State near the Canadian border. Bellingham is located 55 miles (88 km) south of Vancouver, Canada, and 90 miles (145 km) north of Seattle. Less than an hour's drive from Bellingham are the mountains of the North Cascades with many recreational opportunities. Bellingham is more than just a college town. Many students make Bellingham their home after graduation. It is a community with a strong identity of its own, and like Western, it has a friendly and familiar flavor that is attractive to people from larger cities and smaller towns. Some of the features of Bellingham are listed in the next few pages. Parks Most parks are open from dawn to dusk, and have specific rules about pets, motorized vehicles, boats, and alcohol. It is important that you read and obey all park rules. Bloedel-Donovan Boulevard Park Cornwall Park Fairhaven Park Lake Padden Marine Park Sehome Hill Whatcom Falls Park At the north end of Lake Whatcom; picnic areas, sand volleyball and a soccer field. Take bus 525. On Bellingham Bay, one mile south of campus on State street; incredible sunsets. Take bus 401. On Cornwall Street; with expansive woods and a large rose garden.

Most Americans do not carry large amounts of cash with them. It is safer to withdraw money from the bank, as you need it. Do not leave large amounts of cash in your residence hall room! If your parents need to send you money during the program, the two safest ways are international money orders, or by international wire transfers. International money orders may be purchased at any Japanese post office and a check will be issued and mailed to you in American dollars. Japanese money orders should be purchased in small amounts – for example, $100 or $200. It may not be possible for the local Bellingham post office to cash money orders larger than about $200 on one day. You may need to make several trips on different days if your parents are sending a large amount of money. Sometimes it is helpful to call in advance. Credit Unions vs Banks Credit Unions Local No fees, or lower fees, on everything Better member benefits Fewer ATMs, but usually cooperate with banks so members can have access to money through other ATMs for a fee ($2-4) Does not charge for ATM use as long as the ATM is owned by the credit union Must check on what is required for wiring money internationally; make sure it’s possible Banks More widely known Higher fees on everything For profit; members are secondary Many ATMs in various cities Usually charges for ATM use ($2-4), unless the ATM is actually located at a bank branch Usually very easy to wire money internationally Bank Machines (ATMs) Banks and credit unions offer a card to use at the ATM, so you can get cash at any time. Keep your card safe. Memorize your 4-digit secret number and do not carry it with your bank card. If someone takes your card and gets money from your account, the bank will not replace the money. Below are a few of the banks/credit unions in Bellingham which are within walking distance of WWU. These banks/credit unions offer savings and ATM services. To open a savings account and apply for an ATM card, go to one of the following banks. Bring your passport and at least $100 for initial deposit. Key Bank 1221 N.

Always use debit or credit cards. Keep a copy of your credit card numbers in a separate location to refer to if they are lost or stolen. Never show large amounts of cash, when paying for things or checking into a hotel. If you wear a money belt or passport holder wear clothes over it. Check your credit cards every day. If your credit cards are missing, call your credit card company immediately. Write down the phone number of your credit card company and keep it separate from your credit card. Protecting Your Things When sightseeing, put cameras and souvenirs inside your backpack. Never leave your luggage alone. Your travel partner should watch your luggage while you are taking care of any necessary matters, e.g. checking in for a flight. 97 When traveling on a plane, always carry important items such as medicine, your passport, camera, jewelry, tickets, or important souvenirs in your carry-on luggage, not in your checked luggage. Personal Safety When sightseeing at night, never go alone. Use a taxi to a specific location or go with a tour. Do not use the subway at night. You and your travel partners should decide on a meeting place and time in case you become separated (your hotel or a restaurant). Make sure you have the cell phone numbers of your travel partners. Become a totally different kind of traveler: this is not Japan. Keep reminding yourself of this. Train yourself to become “street smart” – this means that you always know where you are and who is around you. Learn to trust your feelings. When a situation makes you feel uncomfortable or afraid, move away immediately. Do not relax too much. This is a common mistake that travelers make. Walk tall and with confidence. Make only quick eye contact with people around you. When walking at night, try to stay near streetlights. Avoid short cuts, alleys, parks, and isolated parking lots. Do not be very trusting of strangers. Be careful of people who seem overly friendly. If their friendliness seems insincere (not true), do not continue to talk with them. Do not enter an elevator alone with a person you do not trust. Do not travel alone! Always travel with someone. Join organized tours. Never walk alone, especially at night. If you someone wants to steal your money, do not fight. Give what is asked for (cash, watch, jewelry). You may want to carry money (about $30 in a separate wallet) which you can give if someone wants to steal your money. Try to avoid bus or train stops with only a few other people around. If you travel to Canada remember that the legal drinking age is 19. However, if you are under 21 years of age you may not be able to return to the US if you have been drinking, or you may receive a citation. Be careful about drinking alcohol while traveling because it becomes easier to be too relaxed in your environment. If you need to call the police or an ambulance in an emergency, you can call 911 from any pay phone. Explain the problem and where you are. Never get into a vehicle or enter the home of a stranger. 97 WWU-AUAP Travel Safety Quiz 1. You’re in your hotel room. Somebody knocks on the door and says she has come to fix the heater.
