The average cost to educate a resident full-time community or technical college student for the 2022-23 academic year is $12,445. Students pay an average of $3,445 in tuition toward this cost. The remaining $9,000 is an “opportunity pathway” provided by the State and is funded by state taxes and other sources. The amounts shown are averages for a full-time, resident student. The actual tuition a student pays will vary due to credit load, residency status, and other factors.

A tuition payment plan allows students the ability to conveniently distribute their portion of tuition and fees across three (3) monthly installments. The enrollment fee each quarter is $30.00. The enrollment fee is non-refundable.

Online enrollment to payment plans must be done through the student’s ctcLink Financial Account. If the student misses the online enrollment deadline, they can contact the Cashier’s Office via email ([email protected]) to see if they can still enroll in a monthly payment plan.

SVC has provided this tool for you to determine the cost of your education including the impact of any financial aid award you will be receiving. You will also be advised of the difference between grants, loans, and work-study awards.
