In addition, the out-of-district tuition may be waived for a student who is enrolled in a course being provided under terms of a contract for services between the employer and the college.
Tuition for Senior Citizens
In-district residents who are 60 years of age or older qualify as senior citizens for tuition purposes and are entitled to take college credit courses tuition-free provided that class has the required number of tuition-paying students enrolled and that the classroom has available space. The College reserves the right to use the qualifying age for senior citizen waivers, as dictated by State statute, which is 65 years of age or older for specific programs and departments. This does not include applicable fees charged for credit classes, nor does it include Community Education classes.
Audit Fees
Tuition for auditing is the same as taking the course for credit for in-district students
