TUITION AND FEE TABLE
Effective Fall 2009

The following table provides greater detail on tuition and fees per credit hour that are not currently included in the college’s main web page.  This table also includes the fee for Non-Resident US Citizen Distance Learning Student rate which is lower than the Non-Resident U.S. Citizen rate for face-to-face courses on campus.  Non-Resident, Non-U.S. Citizen will pay the same rate for both distance learning and face-to- face classes.

If you are not a resident of Washington State, but are a US Citizen, and if you register for a class and it shows  the regular Non-Resident US Citizen rate, please email the Registrar’s office at regdl@shoreline.edu for an adjustment to your tuition rate. 

NOTES:

(a)  Tuition is subject to change and approval by legislative or board of trustee's action.  Some courses may have additional fees for supplies or other charges.

(b)  For purposes of being considered "full time" for funding from federal and state financial aid programs, Department of Veterans Affairs, Social Security, and most other outside agencies, a student is required to carry at least 12 credits.

(c)  An additional operating fee of $73.00, $153.84, 245.00, and $36.50 per credit hour over eighteen (18) is charged for resident, non-resident citizen, non-resident non-citizen, and eligible veteran students, respectively, and may be  subject to waiver for required vocational courses.

NOTICE: 

All fees are subject to change pending proposed fee increases by the Student Body Association and subsequent approval by the Board of Trustees, or further clarification of actions by the Legislature.

A $35.55 fee is charged for each online course taken in addition to other tuition and fees. The average  number of credits for full-time students in the HCI programs is 17 credits per quarter which can help in preparing cost estimates.  Please keep in mind that tuition costs and other fees generally rise each year so the student should refer to the current quarter class schedule for applicable fees in place at that time.
