Tuition and Fees

Adult Students
Adult students pay tuition, any course or program fees, and for all textbooks not provided in the classroom. Since many SLTATC classes are open-entry/open-exit, ongoing tuition is based on the number of hours a student enrolls in each week. Tuition is then assessed on a monthly basis based on the number of hours the student is registered for. If you take 1-6 hours per week, the hourly rate is $3. If you take 7-11 or 21-40 hours per week, tuition is only $1.35 per hour. If you take 12-20 hours per week, tuition is $1.75 per hour. Some classes are fixed in length and have a set tuition. To calculate an estimate of your monthly tuition see our Tuition Calculator.

Non-resident students may also enroll at the College. If they enroll in programs with a length of 900 hours or more, tuition will be assessed at a tuition rate of three and one-half times the regular rate.

High School Students
There is no tuition charge for current public high school students enrolled in regular college courses and programs. High school students are, however, responsible for registration, course, and program fees and the cost of textbooks.

Registration fee
You may register for individual classes or for one of the many programs offered by the College. There is a one-time registration fee of $5.00 for each class, or $40.00 for a program. If you are not actively enrolled in SLTATC courses for two years, your registration will lapse and you will have to re-register to enroll in programs or classes. High school students may qualify for a registration fee waiver – see Student Services for details.

Program & Course Fees
Most SLTATC programs and courses also have fees which you will be responsible to pay. These fees cover the cost of handouts, consumable items used in your class, and other non-recoverable expenses. You are responsible for paying fees based on the schedule for your course or program.
