Tuition and Expenses on the I-20 form

* Tuition is based on 15 credits. Exact tuition amounts may vary slightly from this      figure, usually within $100 - $200, depending on the number of credits a student   takes and the program the student is enrolled in.
* Fees are mandatory for all students, and cover costs associated with a variety of   items, including computer lab(S), the Student Activity Center and discounted public transportation..
* Housing estimates are based on average costs for a student attending Seattle Central. Seattle Central does not arranged housing or homestays for students.
* Medical insurance Requirement: The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. For this reason, international students at Seattle Central are required to purchase the Seattle Community College District medical insurance policy, which include benefits particular to international students. Students will be charged automatically when registering for classes each quarter.
  Exception: Students who do not want to purchase the SCCD insurance policy must show proof that they have adequate medical insurance to cover the full length of the academic term, including breaks and vacation quarters. For more detailed information on requires medical insurance, please visit our website at  www.seattlecentral.edu/international/insurance_sl.shtml

Payment Deadlines

Students should be prepared to pay their quarterly tuition and fees at the time of registration. The cost of ESL classes differs from the cost of college classes, so exact tuition and fee amounts for students who take a combination of ESL and College classes will be determined upon registration. Payment may be made prior to or after student’s arrival in Seattle, depending on who is responsible for the payment. Payments not received by registration may result in serious problems for the student, including the inability to attend classes or use campus facilities.

Tuition and Fee Deposits

Seattle Central accepts tuition deposits for students who wish to plan ahead for their first quarter of study. Deposits are accepted only for the first quarter of study. For subsequent quarter tuition and fee payments, students should make alternate plans. Tuition and fee desposits can be made by wire transfer or by international bank draft. For assistance with wire transfers, please follow our Wire Transfer Guide.
