Tuition & Fees - Credit Courses

We know you'll need to create a plan for paying for college. Here you will find everything you need to know about tuition and fees for credit classes.

Pima offers a variety of payment options for your tuition, fees, and course materials, including financial aid, veterans' benefits, and scholarships.

The College also offers an optional payment plan that may be beneficial to you.

In addition to tuition, course fees and first-day materials may apply. For more information on course fees, check the online class schedules. Students enrolled in classes with first-day materials will receive an email from the bookstore outlining the program and included materials.

Pima charges additional tuition, known as differential tuition, for courses that are more costly for the College to run. Learn more about differential tuition.

How to Estimate Your Tuition Costs

Your tuition cost depends on several factors, including:

• Your residency status
• The number of credit hours you plan to take
• Whether your courses include First Day Materials or course fees
• Whether any of your courses are billed at differential tuition rates

You can estimate your tuition for an upcoming semester in three simple steps:

Step 1: Plan Your Courses
Identify the courses you intend to take and note the number of credit hours for each.

Step 2: Identify Tuition Types
Determine the tuition type for each course based on your residency status. Courses may fall under one of the following categories:

• General Tuition, Non-Resident Classroom Tuition, or Non-Resident Online Tuition
• Differential Tuition A
• Differential Tuition B

Step 3: Calculate Your Total
Calculate the cost for each tuition type, then add them together to estimate your total tuition for the semester.

Consult the college's tuition schedules above for more information on general and differential tuition for in-state resident and non-resident students.
