Guaranteed Tuition for Returning Students

Returning students at each of the 16 KCTCS colleges will not be subject to a tuition increase for the 2011-12 academic year, if they enrolled during the fall 2010 or spring 2011 semesters. Eligible students will receive a tuition rate of $130 per credit hour, the same rate they paid during the 2010-11 academic year.

The eligibility guidelines for the guaranteed tuition program are:

The guaranteed tuition rate is currently only valid for the 2011-12 academic year.
Consecutive term enrollment is not required.
Students enrolled only in summer 2011 classes are not eligible.
The guaranteed tuition rate is valid for the summer 2012 term.
High school dual credit students enrolled in either fall 2010 or spring 2011 courses are eligible.
Tuition is guaranteed for in-state, out-of-state, contiguous counties and KCTCS Online students.

The amount you will pay as a KCTCS student depends on whether you’re a resident of Kentucky and how many classes you take. Tuition is generally due before you begin classes, but our payment plan gives you the option of making payments over time.
