Tuition and Fees
MCCC’s in-district tuition rate is about one-third that of most four-year public colleges and universities. And, Monroe County residents who apply for admission and send ACT or SAT scores and high school transcripts to MCCC by April 15 will automatically be considered for the Trustee Merit Scholarship, which pays for up to $1,500 of tuition.*
*Additional conditions apply. Please see the Trustee Merit Scholarship Brochure.
Billable Contact Hours
MCCC determines the cost for attending a course by the course’s billable contact hours instead of credit hours. A billable contact hour reflects the amount of time in a typical week during a full semester course that a student spends in direct contact with an instructor, laboratory equipment or other instructional setting. Billable contact hour information, in addition to credit hour information, for each course can be found in the course information for each class in myWebPAL.
Effective Fall Semester 2020, MCCC’s Tuition and Fees are the following, which are subject to change by the Board of Trustees:
Tuition
Residency Status |

$114.50 per contact hour |
Out-of-District |
$203.50 per contact hour |

$226.50 per contact hour |
Monroe County residents age 60 or over may enroll with a tuition grant that pays 50 percent of the tuition for any credit and non-credit college class. Registration, technology, lab, special fees and credit by exam fees are not subject to waiver and are the responsibility of the student.
