2012/13 Tuition and Fees Schedule
Tuition and fees are established by the DCC Board of Trustees and are subject to change by its action.
For each semester, a deposit is required at the time of registration to complete the registration process and to hold a student’s class schedule with final payment due by the stated Tuition Due Date. Along with cash and checks, the College accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card for payment.
To help you meet your educational expenses, Dutchess Community College offers FACTS as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. There are no interest or finance charges assessed and there is no credit check. It is easy to enroll in the FACTS e-Cashier payment plan online. Once you set up your plan, payments are made automatically. Further information about the FACTS plan can be obtained from the Office of Student Accounts or on the web through your myDCC account.
