Tuition & Fees

How Much Does MCC Cost?

Tuition is what you pay for each credit hour — that's each class you take. Your cost depends on where you live.

Tuition per credit hour:

Tuition Rates by Residency Status
Who You Are Cost per Hour Minimum Cost
McLennan County resident $106 $212
Dual Credit student $55 No minimum
Texas resident (outside McLennan County) $124 $248
Out-of-state or international student $181 $385

Student Fees

All students also pay these fees each semester:

  • General Services Fee - $10 per credit hour
  • Facilities Fee - $6 per credit hour
  • Lab and Special Course Fees - vary by class. See the Lab & Special Course Fee list.
You can also view the average total cost to attend MCC or download the Tuition & Fees Worksheet.

Can I Get a Refund?

If you drop a class or withdraw, you may get some or all of your tuition back — but only if you act before the deadline. The sooner you drop, the more money you get back.

A few things to know about refunds:

  • Deadlines are based on calendar days from the first day of class — not how many classes you attended.
  • For refund rules on courses of all lengths, see Tuition & Fees: College Credit Courses (FD-I-a) or call the Business Office at 254-299-8627.
  • If a scholarship, sponsor, or donor paid your tuition, any refund goes back to them — not to you.
  • Required fees (General Services, Facilities, Lab) may be refunded. Optional fees are not.

Payment Agreement

Before you register each semester, you'll need to agree to MCC's payment terms in MyMCC. This will pop up automatically before you pick your classes. If you sign up for a payment plan, different terms apply — check your agreement for details.
