Paying for College

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.

 

What will a full-time (12-credit) semester cost you at RRCC?

Full-time (12-credit) on-campus tuition plus student fees for Colorado resident students in Fall 2021 thru Summer 2022 semesters.  Additional course fees may apply.

Starting at RRCC makes cents! We are a fraction the cost of a four-year college. If you’re planning on getting a bachelor’s degree, then our A.A. or A.S. degrees are for you. These two-year degree programs are equivalent to the first two years at a state university. The only difference? At a fraction of the cost, they're a much more affordable way to start out. You’ll complete all of your general education requirements for your bachelor’s and can take electives geared toward your specific major. And when you’re finished at RRCC, you’ll be prepared to transfer to a four-year university as a junior.
