The Health Verification handout must be completed and returned to the ISP office with all of the appropriate medical documentation attached upon arrival to De Anza College. Failing to do this by the specific deadline (the 2nd Friday of your first quarter) will result in a 'HOLD' on your account which will prevents you from registering for classes for the next quarter. Please note: The Health Verification handout should be completed by a medical professional or supporting documentation must be attached. Forms that have been filled in by the student and/or are lacking attached proof will not be accepted. Students who do not have a valid Health Verification can receive the required testing and immunizations at Student Health Services on campus at the beginning of their first quarter. More information about accessing these services will be given during the Orientation Program. De Anza, like most community colleges, does not have any dormitories or student residences. However, De Anza is conveniently located near many housing options. Check out the Local Housing Guide below for detailed information on temporary and permanent housing. Click HERE for our Local Housing Guide De Anza International Student Programs also works with an organization called International Student Placements that will find homestays with families for our international students. These homestays can provide daily meals (breakfast and dinner) and serve as excellent opportunities for students to learn more about the American culture and improve their English skills. If you prefer to live on your own or with other students (and you are 18 years or older), you can also contact the ISP homestay program for apartment living and shared housing options.
