Resources For Students

This is a guide to help you get acquainted with Grossmont College and the United States in general. You will get some helpful tips that you can use in case you missed something at the orientations or if something was updated and you haven’t heard about. Please check back from time to time to see if anything is new. You can also find this information inside of the International Student Handbook that you received in your package at the orientation.

**Got Health Insurance**?

Accidents happen, and as you have heard from Barbara at the orientations they cost a lot. The school offers a reasonable plan and if you would like to look further into it go to www.studentinsuranceagency.com or call (800) 367-5830 or you can just go see Juliette in the Health Center for details. It costs about $283 for 6 months.
