Tuition and Charges
Here you'll find our base tuition rates. Please review our Comprehensive list of all KCTCS Tuition Rates and Charges for full details.
KCTCS Online Tuition = $125 per credit hour
Tuition and charges are assessed at the time of registration and based upon a per credit hour rate for all KCTCS colleges regardless of whether the courses are taken during the day, evening, and/or on weekends and regardless of whether the courses are taken for credit or audit purposes. Fractional credit hour tuition and charges are assessed for fractional credit offerings (i.e., a student taking ¼ credit hour course would be assessed ¼ rate of student with same residency taking a 1 credit hour course). Tuition and charges are refundable as per the "Refunds" section. Charges for services are non-refundable unless specifically stated as refundable. Consult with the Student Services Help Desk for specifics.
Charges for e-Resources and other Course Materials
A separate charge for e-resources per class module may apply. E-resources are created specifically for the course module in which you are enrolled and will appear on your billing statement. In some instances, your course module may require mandatory class supplies or online tutoring services as well as suggested materials. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain those supplies, materials, and services.
Charges for Customized Course Offerings
Customized course offerings created specifically upon request (credit or non-credit) may have additional charges. The additional charge, depending upon the requirements of developing and producing the customized course or program, will vary depending upon the length and content of the course or program offerings. All tuition and charges for customized courses are payable upon registration unless prior arrangements, including third party contracts, have been made with the offering college. Please contact the Student Services Help Desk for specifics.
Charges for Services
Some charges for services may exist, including some individual program and/or special testing charges. General examples of these charges include, but are not limited to, the following: GED and ACT® testing, KET course charges, returned check charge and lost library book/video replacement charge. Charges will vary by service and are non-refundable. Please contact the Student Services Help Desk for specifics.
