Tuition and Fees

Student tuition and fees provide 20-30 percent of the costs of a Chemeketa education. State appropriations and local property taxes make up the rest of the college budget. Coupled with numerous financial aid opportunities, Chemeketa education is affordable and a really good investment.

The costs cited below are for tuition and general fees. Some classes have fees for materials or lab use. All fees for a class will appear totaled together in the 'Tui + Fee' column of the class schedule. Costs for credit classes are calculated on a per-credit basis. Tuition varies depending on your permanent residence.

Failure to pay

A past due account may result in denial of future college services including registration, withholding of transcripts, denial of future credit, impairment of credit history, and additional assessment of collection charges and attorney fees.
