Tuition and fees are the price you pay for taking classes at your college. This amount can change based on the number of credit hours you take and whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. For more details about tuition and fees by credit hour and residency for tuition purposes, please visit the Curriculum Expenses page of the RCC website and reference the "Other Expense Resources" section.

Books and supplies costs depend on your program of study. You may be able to lower these costs by buying used textbooks or renting them. For additional books and supplies information, check out the RCC Campus Store website.  There you will be able to locate pricing information as well as the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and retail price for all required and
recommended textbooks as well as the supplies needed for each course.

To ensure students have a real and reasonable opportunity to purchase books and supplies from venues of than the RCC Campus Store, including online stores, RCC implemented the following process:
  • Students must complete a Request to Access Financial Aid for Books and Supplies Prior to Scheduled Disbursement form and submit to the Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs. This form can be obtained by contacting the Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs.
  • Along with the form, students must include documentation to show how much funding they need to access prior to the scheduled disbursement date.
  • The Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs reviews the form and documentation, confirms there are available funds, and submits a copy to the RCC Business Office.
  • The RCC Business Office will then cut a check that the students can use to purchase books and supplies.
Note: Students cannot request more funds than they have available after accounting for tuition and fees.

Whether you live at home with parents or relatives or live on your own, you will have meal costs to consider. If you live on your own, you may also have rent or other housing expenses. This is another area where you may be able to lower the projected costs depending on your individual situation.

Transportation is another cost that may vary significantly from one student to the next. The projections are based on average transportation costs and you may be able to lower your costs depending on the length of your commute and how often.

The costs include all of those other things you spend your money on. The costs could be cell phone bills, movies, etc. Once you have determined your budget and how the other costs will impact your budget, add up what you typically spend on these other things and add them to your total cost.

Budgeting For College

There are five main categories of expenses to think about when figuring out how much your college education is really going to cost: tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation.

The cost of attendance as determined by the RCC Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs is found in the Cost of Attendance menu based on the academic year you plan to attend. Please note that these costs are projections based on full-time enrollment for two semesters. There are situations where each of your costs may be more or less depending on your specific situation (i.e., number of credit hours, books and supplies needed, length of commute, etc.), but the intent is to help you plan for your costs while attending RCC.

Net Price Calculator

In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), each postsecondary institution in the United States that participates in Title IV federal student aid programs must post a net price calculator on its website that uses institutional data to provide estimated net price information to current and prospective students and their families based on a student's individual circumstances. The net price calculator is required for all Title IV institutions that enroll full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate students.
