Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

Very easy admission process!
Alias
community college tution is the same as all community colleges in the area so about $1200 for 5 3-classes. not including books.
Adam from Concord, NC
Definitely worth your money! I have saved so much money going to CPCC rather than going to a 4-year college or university.
Shelby from Waxhaw, NC
You can take fast-paced classes over the summer for a third of the cost at a public/private university, and I highly suggest taking as many classes as you can! My AA in Arts is exempting me from having to take any more math/science/foreign language classes at UNCC, and I couldn't be any more happy that I was able to network with skilled professionals, and also save myself money.
Meghann from Huntersville, NC
The admission seems very easy.
