International Student Services
Dear International Students,
WELCOME
It is with elation that I welcome you
on behalf of the Office of International
Students Services here at Northern
Caribbean University! To have you
share in our unforgettable campus
experience on this cool hill, is to
have additional spices, and a much
appreciated
cultural
diversity,
and this is no doubt, exciting. Our
department and students embrace
you with open arms and encourage
you to develop a close relationship
with the ISS.
Being an international student
means that you are studying outside
of your home country and this can
come with great trepidation. ISS is
here to help you through challenges
during your tenure here at Northern
Caribbean University. We are your
new adopted family and your
comfort and mental equilibrium are
4
our priority. This student handbook
was collated to suitably meet your
basic needs and should successfully
equip you to function at optimum
levels. In addition, supplemental
materials will be issued at various
times and we invite you to access
each of these as soon as they are
circulated.
Welcome once again to Northern
Caribbean University and by
extension Jamaica! Work hard at
being focused and remember to
embrace cultural exchange. We wish
for you a productive and fun-filled
academic year!
Best Wishes,
Trudean Scott-Elliott, M.A.

GREETINGS
It is with distinct pleasure that I bid a
cordial welcome to our International
Students, to this ‘Beacon on the Hill’,
called Northern Caribbean University.
You are not the first, neither will
you be the last, to have joined this
ever growing family circle. Leaving
home and embarking on a new
path is never an easy step, but it
signals the beginning of a life filled
with great lessons and adventures.
American journalist and poet Don
Williams, Jr. states it perfectly: “The
road of life twists and turns and no two
directions are ever the same. Yet our
lessons come from the journey, not the
destination.”

Internationalizing our university campus is integral to
the academic and social growth of our student body and
faculty delivery. Therefore, the department of International
Student Services is constructed in a strategic way with
this concept in mind. As our university continues to grow
within a dynamic worldview, our students’ awareness
and appreciation of uniqueness is critical to the global
village model. At NCU, the International Student Services
department facilitates this growth and sensitization
process. All international students are welcomed and
have a place with us here as we all work co-operatively to
impact campus knowledge and effect global change.
international student. The internationalization of the
informal education curriculum is administered within
cultural parameters - both locally and internationally.
In order to ardently manage our philosophy, the following
objectives were developed to:
•Establish a Christ-centred caring attitude among
staff and students.
•Create a healthy, judgment-free and co-operative
campus society.
•Use informative approaches to sensitize each
student about the existing cultural practices on the
university campus.
•Enrich the campus experience by integrating local
and international students through various social
and welfare/outreach programmes.
•Give every culture on the university campus a
voice, by allowing active participation in campus
programmes and futuristic plans.
•Train faculty and staff on culture sensitive
education using a variety of lectures, workshops,
conferences and literature.
•Inculcate in each NCU student the appreciation
of cultural differences by fostering a co-operative
system of operation.
•Encourage selflessness among each international
student by teaching them the joy of true servicesharing outside of their “comfort zone”.
•Empower each international student to be NCU
ambassadors in their own territories.
The department of International Student Services operates
within the framework of Northern Caribbean University’s
philosophy, mission and vision. Therefore holistic
development is the basic element found within the ethos
of our department. As such, the International Student
Services department has as its philosophy that the positive
development of every human faculty is a divine mandate
established to create valuable citizens of this world and the
world yet to come. This means that each student is seen
as an ambassador for this university and a candidate for
heaven, and therefore requires deliberate education of each
human facet in order to successfully achieve “harmonious
development”. Culturally, the Department holds that each
student representative is to be highly esteemed and given
equal opportunities to positively impact the University
and the community it serves.
As a non-academic department, ISS has constituted an
informal curriculum to accomplish specific goals in line
with achieving the “harmonious development” of each

This programme is designed for our new international
students and is geared toward being an immediate
“transition cushion”. The “cushion” is to provide an
easier changeover into our culture. International FORT

sessions will include brief presentations and greetings
from pertinent offices here on our campus.
Registration – As international freshmen, you will be
aided with registration. Freshman Advisers will be
available to our department to take you through what can
be a rigorous and discouraging process. Please comply
with all instructions given during the orientation process.
Fellowship – This is an informal evening reception. Here,
you get an awesome opportunity to mingle with fellow
countrymen, Freshmen, and our current international
students.
Tour - Freshman Advisers will be assigned to groups of
you to guide you through an all- campus tour (inclusive
of classrooms) to accompany you on excursions, outside
activities and receptions. This tour will also include a trip
to the Mandeville town and neighbouring communities.
Orientation – We require all accepted international
students to arrive one week before registration so as to
facilitate the orientation process. It is mandatory and
all international Freshmen are to be in attendance. The

Immersing yourself in a new culture, no matter how
similar it is to your own, is somewhat overwhelming. For
one, you have to be mentally prepared to live here for the
next four or so years! This is no easy task and should not
be taken lightly. How you get settled will determine how
well you work, study and have fun. Here are a few tips to
getting settled:
1. It always helps to do some research before you get to
the foreign country. If you have not yet done so, it is not
too late. Get on the Internet and familiarize yourself
with the country’s road codes, laws, food, customs and
social life.
2. If on the dorm, introduce yourself to your roommates
and neighbours across the hall. Be open-minded and
allow them to help you settle in.
3. Take the scheduled campus tour and a leisurely one
after you have become a little more familiar with the
campus map. This will help you to become more
comfortable with your surroundings and confident in
mobility.
4. Learn the monetary denominations and the exchange
rates. Open a local bank account with bank of your
preference. (if you do not have access to your home
account here in Jamaica).
5. Be a buddy with another student, preferably one who
has been here at least one year more. This will lessen
your frustration and/or anxiety.
11
6. Make a list of items needed and ask your buddy to
assist you in acquiring these items. Having a list will
help you organize yourself at this early stage.
7. Give yourself enough time to get to your appointments,
so as to avoid unnecessary stress.
8. Get registered on time.
9. Obtain all pertinent materials such as brochures,
handbooks, textbooks before you begin your classes.
10. Communicate with your family regularly.
11. REMEMBER, do not compare countries… it can cause
more harm than good. Accept that change is inevitable
and can be exciting. So, while Jamaica is not your real
home, it will be your surrogate home for the next few
years. The sooner you embrace this, the easier it is
for you settling in. Find new things to appreciate and
never forget that attitude is the greatest determinant!

INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES
There are several places of accommodation in the town of
Mandeville. Parents who accompany students may stay at
the Mandeville Hotel, Golfview Hotel, Tropics View Hotel
or the Hilltop Hotel on campus.
If you are here with your family, the University offers
services for each family member at varying levels; namely,
Day Care Services, NCU Early Childhood Centre, West
Indies College Preparatory School, Victor Dixon High
School, and a wide range of study programmes from
undergraduate to graduate studies. Enrolling your children
in school will require immigration specifications; the ISS
department is here to help.
Being employed is made possible by obtaining a work visa
or by having a CARICOM Single Market Economy (CSME)
certificate (CSME citizens). Applying for the work visa and
the CSME certificate can be done in Jamaica. The CSME can
also be obtained from your home country. The Mandeville
community also has employment opportunities; however,
Kingston, Jamaica’s capital, is only two hours away and
offers a wider range of employment opportunities.
Connecting with your family is helpful during major
transitory periods. So, accessing a cellular phone should be
one of your main priorities. There are two major networks,
LIME and Digicel; LIME works with Bmobile (as some of
you have back home) and Digicel carries anywhere. Try to
maximize the package offers so that your family and you
can communicate more for less.

General Consumption Tax (GCT) & Special Consumption Tax (SCT)
The General Consumption Tax Act provides for two main types of taxes. These are the General Consumption Tax (GCT) and
Special Consumption Tax (SCT). Since October 22, 1991, the General Consumption Tax (GCT) and Special Consumption
Tax (SCT) have replaced several duties and taxes, e.g., Excise Duty, CARICOM Duty, Consumption Duty, Entertainment
Duty, Retail Sales Tax, Hotel Accommodation Tax, and Telephone Service Tax. GCT is paid on most goods and services
except those items which are zero-rated and those which are exempted. SCT is payable on a few items, including some
petroleum products. These are alcoholic beverages, most tobacco products and some petroleum products. Most items
attract only GCT, while some attract both GCT and SCT. The petroleum products which attract SCT do not attract GCT.

The Jamaican Flag
The Jamaican National Flag was first raised on Independence Day, August
6, 1962, and signifies the birth of the independent nation. The Flag has a
diagonal cross or saltire with four triangles in juxtaposition. The diagonal
cross is gold and one-sixth of the length of the fly of the flag; the top and
bottom triangles are green, while the hoist and fly triangles are black. The
colours of the flag symbolize the shining of the sun (yellow), the lushness
of the land (green), and the strength and creativity of the people (black).
The Jamaican Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms was first designed in 1661 and partially revised
in 1957. It features the original inhabitants of the island, a male
and female member of the Taino tribe, standing on either side
of a shield bearing a red cross with five golden pineapples. The
crest shows a Jamaican crocodile mounted on the Royal Helmet
of the British Monarchy and mantling. The original Latin motto,
‘Indus Uterque Serviet Uni’, was translated into English, ‘Out of
Many One People’. This truly captures the multiracial roots of the
population.
22
Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica as well as a component of the national
dish – ackee and codfish. Ackee is derived from the original name Ankye
which comes from the Twi language of Ghana. The botanical name of the
fruit – Blighia Sapida – was given in honour of Captain William Bligh of
“Mutiny on the Bounty” fame, who in 1793 took plants of the fruit from
Jamaica to England. Before this, ackee was unknown to science. In 1778,
Dr. Thomas Clarke, one of the earliest propagators of the tree, introduced
it to the eastern parishes. Although ackee is not indigenous to Jamaica,
it has significant historic associations. It was imported from West Africa,
probably on a slave ship, and now grows in abundance on the island.
While the fruit is eaten in great quantities in Jamaica and even canned
for export, this is the only Caribbean island where the fruit is generally
recognized as an edible crop.
National Flower Lignum Vitae
The Lignum Vitae is a short, compact tree that is native to
continental tropical America and the West Indies. When translated
to English from Latin, the name means “wood of life”. The name
is fitting as the tree is purported to have medicinal qualities. The
tree grows best in the dry woodlands along the north and south
coasts of the island and produces an attractive blue flower. The
plant is extremely ornamental, with an attractive blue flower and
orange-yellow fruit. The wood is most used to create curios and
was once used as propeller shaft bearings in nearly all the ships
sailing the Seven Seas.
23
National Fruit Ackee
National Tree Blue Mahoe
The Blue Mahoe is indigenous to the island and grows quite rapidly, often
reaching 20m (66ft) or more in height. The name mahoe is derived from
a Carib Indian word while the ‘blue’ refers to the distinctive blue-green
streaks in the polished wood. The tree is quite impressive with its straight
trunk, broad green leaves and hibiscus-like flowers. The attractive flower
changes colour as it matures, going from bright yellow to orange red and
finally to crimson. Cuba is the only other place where the Blue Mahoe
grows naturally. The tree is currently used for reforestation and is a
valuable source of cabinet timber.
The National Bird
The Doctor Bird or Swallowtail Hummingbird, is one of the most
outstanding of the 320 species of hummingbirds. The bird is able
to fly backwards and produces a humming sound from its feathers
when it does – hence the common name of hummingbird. The
origin of the name ‘doctor-bird’ is somewhat unsettled. It has
been said that the name was given because the erect black crest
and tails resemble the top hat and long tail coats worn by doctors
in the old days. For years the doctor bird has been immortalized
in Jamaican folklore and song.

Possibly, some of you have heard of the Jamaican diet being “spicy”! Well, this is true. In the kitchen, Jamaicans
use a wide variety of seasonings or “spices”, as you may call it. Spicy food is common and, to the people, is
delightfully tasty. Authentic Jamaican kitchens rely mostly on natural rather than artificial ingredients. Some
of these include: onion, garlic, ginger, Scotch Bonnet pepper, scallion, thyme and pimento. Our artificial spices
comprise of meat and fish seasoning, “all-purpose seasoning”, jerk seasoning and black pepper, to name a few.
The Rastafarians and some health-operated food stops may be the only exceptions to these spices.
Pastry is also a lip smacking cuisine. These are usually very sweet and can vary according to the season. For
example, during the Easter period, “bun and cheese” is the main dish; during the Christmas season, you’ll find
Fruit Cake or Black Forest Cake. Here are a few common food items that you might find while living here:

RESIDING IN MANDEVILLE
Manchester was established in 1816 and was a gift of Viscount Mandeville, the older brother of the Duke of
Manchester, who was then governor of Jamaica. The town stands at an altitude of 628m (2061 ft) thus, it is said
to be the coolest town in Jamaica. Mandeville is the centre of Jamaica. Many of the oldest businesses within
the Caribbean began in this town! Manchester is known as a major bauxite location. Much of Jamaica’s ground
provisions, citrus and cattle come from this parish. The capital – Mandeville – features several charming old
churches and villages and is the preferred location for returning residents and retirees. Mandeville was also
formerly known as a major coffee-growing locale.
