Tuition is a fancy word for what your class costs. How much you pay depends on your residency – do you reside in the county, out of the county or out-of-state? – and how many credits you take. Tuition can change without prior notice, so check in here to make sure you know how much it will cost.
There may be special circumstances that reduce your tuition (dual enrollment), impact your residency (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), change your tuition (statewide programs), grant you a tuition waiver or have some other effect on your cost. See our Tuition Reductions and Waivers section below for more information.
