Tuition and fee rates for Washtenaw Community College continue to be among the lowest for Michigan community colleges with the total cost of enrollment for WCC students consistently ranking in the lowest cost quartile. In an effort to maintain an affordable cost of education, the college is proposing no increase to In-District tuition rates and modest increases for all other residency categories. The recommended percentage tuition rate increases are as follows for the 2018-19 academic year:
On Campus:
- In-District:0.0%
- Out-of-District: 2.0%
- Out-of-State: 3.0%
- Work-in-District: 0.0%
- Property-in-District: 0.0%
- International: 4.0%
Distance Learning:
- In-District:0.0%
- Out-of-District: 2.0%
- Out-of-State: 3.0%
- Work-in-District: 0.0%
- Property-in-District: 0.0%
- International: 4.0%
The approved rate structure holds In-District rates flat to 2017-18 levels, increases Out-District & Out-State rates to general inflation levels and includes slightly higher rate increases for International students in support of the additional operating resources required to support these students.
Regarding fees, the college only has one per credit hour fee, the Technology Fee, which is currently at $7 /credit hour. The Technology Fee has been at this level since 2004 and serves to partially offset the significant annual technology investment the college incurs in support of the student-learning environment. Similar to tuition rates, WCC offers one of the lowest fee structures in the state.
