Financial Information

Listed below is the estimated cost for one year. Before coming to DMACC, you must demonstrate your or your sponsor's ability to pay all educational and living expenses. You must also have $3,000 (U.S.) on deposit with the college for the first semester. Careful planning will help to make a successful college experience.

Work permits for off-campus employment are only granted with the permission of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service (BCIS).  An F-1 visa holder may apply for that only in cases of documented severe economic necessity, and only after being in F-1 status for nine months. Although F-1 students are eligible to work on campus, very few jobs are available due to college budget limitations.

Financial aid through DMACC is not available for International students. You may be able to find some scholarship assistance on your own, however, through research at the library or on the Internet.

The following costs for admission fees, tuition, fees, and books are approximate, and are subject to change each year.
