Tuition Rates

Tuition Overview

Tuition at community and technical colleges in Washington state is charged by credits rather than by part-time or full-time status. In addition to credit load, tuition is also determined by residency.* 

Tuition is made up of three parts:

  1. The Operating Fee, which supports college operations,
  2. The Building Fee, which supports infrastructure and innovation, and
  3. The Services and Activities (S&A) Fee, which supports student activities and programs.

International students are required to carry a credit load of 12 or more to maintain their status. 

Tuition and fees are set by the Washington State Legislature and are subject to change.
