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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

I do not pay for much so I think LTCC is a great deal.
Kathleen from South Lake Tahoe, CA
The price per unit is lower than any other community college I know of, at only $17 per unit. Within the college itself are various vending machines as well as a student café/bookstore where you can find awesome deals on your books as well as a wide variety of snacks and drinks at discount prices. The college is filled with these types of helpful resources: an organized student services where you can find anything from a job to an appointment with a counselor, a well ordered library filled with just about any book that you would ever need as well as free internet use and DVD rentals, an up to date computer lab with free printing as well as a Math and English Success/Tutoring center located right in the middle of campus for any help you would need with either of those subjects among other subjects as well.
