THE HIGHLAND MISSION: |
Highland has the lowest tuition in the tri-state region.
You will spend about $4,900 a year for tuition, fees and books when you start at Highland...or you can go somewhere else and pay at least $9,000 a year for tuition alone.
Attending Highland will save you several thousand dollars in college costs alone. And last year Highland also gave away over $300,000 dollars in scholarships, financial aid, and grants. We're making going to college even easier for our students.

This per semester fee is assessed upon initial registration for a course, or courses, bearing tuition. Students and residents registering exclusively for Community Education courses and other classes for which no tuition is assessed will not incur the registration fee.
Students who drop all classes prior to the end of the add/drop period will have the registration fee removed from their account, or refunded.
Regular Semester
Students who "No-Record" drop classes anytime during the first ten days of the semester will receive a 100 percent tuition refund.
Regular Summer Session
Students who "No-Record" drop classes anytime during the first five days of the summer session will receive a 100 percent tuition refund.
Other Sessions
Students who enroll in courses that are less than eight weeks in length (this includes continuing education courses) will receive "No-Record" drops and refunds based on a formula using the number of class sessions. Students should consult with the Office of Admissions and Records for specific dates.
Withdrawals made after the "no record/drop date"
Students who withdraw from a class after the "no record/drop date" will be required to pay the tuition and fees in full. A "W" will be recorded on their official transcript. The "no record/drop date" is listed in the academic calendar.
Students who are receiving financial aid will need to stop by the Financial Aid department. Withdraws do effect financial aid.
The net price calculator is a tool for students and parents to use to get the estimate of what it may cost to attend Highland Community College each year. It is important for you to understand that the information you receive from the calculator is a broad estimate.
The Net Price Calculator is not an official application for financial aid and is not a substitute for applying for financial aid. The student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (www.fafsa.ed.gov) to be eligible for and receive Federal student aid funds.
The results provided here should only be considered a rough estimate and they do not guarantee the actual financial aid the student will receive. Many factors come into play when we award financial aid to students including, but not limited to: deadlines, levels of funding, grade levels, and academics.
This estimate is not final, is not binding, and may change.
It is also important to note that the net price calculator does not incorporate Federal Stafford Loans into its financial aid calculations.
