Tuition and Fees
Schoolcraft is a publicly funded community college with tuition and fees that are much lower than those at four-year colleges and universities and competitive with those at nearby community colleges. Payment is due within 3 weekdays, including holidays, from when you register. Please begin the process of exploring all options for payment, including scholarships and financial aid, or sign up for the tuition payment plan. The College accepts cash, checks, money orders, VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. The payment plan allows for tuition and fees to be paid in installments. See the payment options link in Ocelot Access for more information.
The College uses your residency status to determine the tuition rates that students pay for credit bearing courses. Students are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information, including address, in their college file. There are deadlines for every semester by which students must update their residency status that impact tuition rates.

Fee Descriptions
Registration Fee
This fee is a refundable fee charged one time per semester regardless of how many credit hours a student registers for during the semester. This fee is $44 per semester.
Service Fee
This fee defrays the cost of several free services that Schoolcraft provides to students, such as career services, student activities, graduation, parking and admittance to the SC Fitness Center each semester the student is registered. This fee is $9 per credit.
Lab Fees / Learning Management Fees
This fee is used to cover the cost of special materials, equipment, student assistants, specialized support and other services. Our learning management system fee (currently Blackboard) is $12 per class, with an additional fee of $10 for classes held in computer labs, allowing the use of additional technology that is otherwise not available in a standard classroom.
Excess Contact Hours Fees
The College charges $139 per excess contact hour per class with a maximum of 4 excess contact hours per class.
An excess contact hour occurs when the weekly class meeting hours exceed the class credit hours. For example, if Biology meets 4 hours per week, but Biology is a 3-credit hour class, the student is charged a $139 excess contact hour fee. If a Nursing class meets 10 hours per week, but the Nursing class is a 4-credit hour class, the student will be charged a $556 excess contact hour fee.
Infrastructure Fee
This fee is used to defray the increasing costs associated with maintaining and enhancing the College’s buildings, facilities, and campus grounds. Deferred maintenance and depreciation of campus infrastructure is also covered by this fee. Every student is charged $9 per credit hour for this fee.
