The International Centers at the Clearwater, St. Petersburg/Gibbs and Tarpon Springs Campuses offer information, guidance and support to international students during the transition period from their countries to the United States. International Student Officers at each center facilitate the admissions process to the College by assisting students with their compliance with the Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (BCIS) rules and regulations and health insurance requirements. First-time students receive orientation to the College and life in the United States. All international students are encouraged to join the International Club on their home campus. Currently enrolled international students receive follow-up orientation and guidance from the International Student Officers ensuring that the students stay in status. All international students receive information about the English as a Second Language program as well as certificate and degree programs offered by the College.
The International Centers also assist the College and community in understanding the international population and the economic and cultural benefits derived from a diversified population.
