Tuition and Fees
Tuition
Tuition and material fees are set by the Wisconsin Technical College System Board and are subject to change. For the 2008-2009 school year the tuition rate is $97.05 per semester credit. A three-credit course would cost $315.82 plus any material fees required for the course. Material fees can vary significantly depending on the course. Nonresident students pay an additional $497.20 per credit. This additional tuition fee does not apply for Minnesota residents due to a reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota. For additional tuition and fee information contact the Registrar's Office at 608.785.9149.
In addition, a $10.00 per credit fee will apply for online (Internet-based) courses.
Nonresident students pay resident rates for online (internet-based) courses.
