* Medical insurance is required for all international students and must be valid for a minimum period of one year. A group insurance program that provides the required coverage is available through Collegiate Risk Management, Inc. This health insurance is mandatory for all international students unless proof of comparable insurance is provided. Proof of insurance is required for each year of enrollment and must be paid prior to registration. The estimate is based on age group 19-23. 

** Students are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the College. This is the estimated price for public transportation for two terms. Discount student fare cards for the local HART bus system can be purchased at the HCC Dale Mabry, Ybor City and Brandon campuses for $45 per month. Some students may wish to purchase a second-hand car for personal transportation, or a bicycle instead of a car if living close to campus.

***Personal expenses include entertainment, clothing, the monthly cell phone bill, and other "miscellaneous" or personal items that vary significantly for each student. These estimated expenses do not reflect actual student expenditures which can add up quickly, especially in metropolitan areas such as Tampa Bay.
