Non-Resident Tuition

During the 2022-23 academic year, some or all of the instructional formats may change due to an emergency situation affecting college operations, public safety, or public health, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Tuition and fees are charged at the beginning of the semester and will remain in place regardless of any changes in instructional format. Tuition and fees will not be refunded in the event the curriculum delivery format changes for any part of the 2022-23 academic year.

Tuition rates are set annually by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education. These summary rates are effective for the Fall 2022 through Summer 2023 terms. Full tuition rate details can be found on the full Tuition and Fees Charts below.
