Tuition & Fees

Tuition and fees are the same for online and traditional classes. All fees are to be paid when a student registers for classes.

California Resident Fees

California residents must pay an enrollment fee of $20 per unit per semester, regardless of the number of units. For example, a 3 unit course would cost $60 for the Fall 2007 semester. For additional information regarding tuition visit the MJC Admissions Information page or the Columbia College Admissions information site.

Many students can qualify for a Fee Waiver. Please visit  the MJC Financial Aid or Columbia College Financial Aid home pages for more information.

Non-Resident Tuition

Non-resident students, those from other states or foreign countries, must pay a non-resident tuition fee of $181 per unit per semester. The tuition fee is in addition to the enrollment fee of $20 per unit per semester. For example, a 3 unit course would cost a non-resident $603 for the Fall 2007 semester.
