College Costs
Tuition at CCC is among the most competitive in the state, and we offer a number of financial aid programs to qualified students to help lower costs even more.
The bottom line is that at CCC you can invest less money in your college education without compromising the quality of your education.
The estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is created by the Office of Financial Aid. It gives the average costs for a that a student may accrue during the academic year while attending CCC. Tuition and fees are based upon a student enrolling in 30 credit hours during the academic year.
The Cost of Attendance is broken down into direct and indirect cost. Direct costs are items that will appear on a student’s CCC bill, such as tuition, fees, and room and meal plan (if student lives on campus). Some e-books will be considered direct cost as they are included with the registration of a specific class. Indirect costs will not appear on a student’s bill but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in budgeting.
