Detailed Fee Information

Resident Fees

$115.50 per credit for lower division, and $189.75 per credit for upper division, plus a $9.50 per credit technology fee, a $1 per credit student association fee, and a $5 health and sports fee. Except for early and priority registration, fees are generally due two days after you register. Check the TMCC Dates and Deadlines Calendar for the early and priority registration fee payment deadline. Students are responsible for either paying for or dropping from each class in which they are registered. A student's enrollment may be canceled from all classes if payment is not received by the published deadline. Students remain responsible for charges on classes that they do not drop and no longer want to take. Fees are assessed on a per-credit basis. Audited classes cost the same as credit classes. TMCC EPIC classes are self-supporting, so charges vary accordingly.

Residency for Tuition Purposes

Pursuant to the passage of Senate Bill 32 (Chapter 374, Statutes of Nevada 2005), as of July 1, 2005, a financially independent student must be a bonafide resident of the State of Nevada for at least 12 months prior to matriculation to qualify for in-state tuition. Further, for a dependent student to qualify for in-state tuition, the student's family must be a Nevada resident. Please contact the Admissions and Records Office for further details.

Nonresident Tuition

Students classified as nonresident students taking seven or more units shall pay non-resident tuition ($4,049.50/semester) plus the per-credit registration fees. The total number of credits, taken either for grade or audit, will be calculated in determining the assessment of nonresident tuition. Registration in Summer courses, which are not state-funded, shall not cause nonresident tuition to be assessed. In conformity with Sections 10.020 and 396.540, in the Nevada Revised Statutes, students who register for courses with TMCC as Nevada residents must provide proof of residency. Residency requirements can be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office. The regulations for determining residency and tuition charges are described in the Board of Regents Handbook, Title 4, Chapter 15, Section 3 printed in Regulations for Determining Residency and Tuition Charges of this College Catalog.

Application Fee

A $20.00 one-time, non-refundable fee is charged to first-time TMCC students only. This fee is assessed when a student enrolls or attempts to enroll in a class or course at TMCC. This fee cannot be refunded, even if the class or course is canceled by the institution.

Health and Sport Fee

A $5.00 per credit fee shall be charged to all students. This fee supports the Health and Sports facility and the operation of competitive athletic teams at Truckee Meadows Community College.

Student Association Fee

A $1.00 per credit fee shall be charged to all students.

Academic Success Initiatives Fee

A $10.00 per semester fee shall be charged to all students enrolled in 1 or more credits.

Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Through WUE, students in western states may enroll in many two-year and four-year college programs at a reduced tuition level: 150 percent of the institution's regular resident tuition. To be eligible for WUE, students must be a resident of a WICHE State. Some colleges and universities have additional criteria. For further information about specific programs in WUE, contact the Admissions and Records Office.

Distance Education/Out-of-State Tuition

Students who physically reside outside the state of Nevada and who take online classes only may be eligible for a special distance education rate. To apply, students should submit the Request for Distance Education Special Tuition Rate form to the Admissions and Records Office.

Lab and Special Fees

Some classes have additional lab fees or costs for supplies; refer to the class schedule for details. These fees are added to the per-credit class fees.

Technology Fee

Fees printed in the class schedule include the $9.50 per credit technology fee approved by the NSHE Board of Regents.
