The chart below shows estimates of the minimum expected expenses for an academic year (three terms) for an F-1 student (with no dependents) taking 15 credits per term. Actual expenses may vary. Tuition and fees are subject to change.

International student applicants are required to submit official bank documents, dated within two months of their application, demonstrating that they have sufficient funds to cover all estimated expenses for their first year at Clackamas Community College (CCC).
