Affordable Education For All

Tuition

We may be the largest undergraduate institution in the state of Texas, but our tuition rates are some of the lowest around – especially considering the quality of education you’re getting.

The amount of tuition you pay is based on where you live and the number of credit hours you take in a given semester.

Dallas County residents pay $123 per three-hour class — that’s $41 per credit hour, or less than $500 for a full semester load of 12 credit hours.

If you live outside Dallas County, tuition rates are still comparatively low:

  • $76 per credit hour for Texas residents outside of Dallas County
  • $121 per credit hour for out-of-state and out-of-country residents, with a $200 minimum
    Compare that to what you’d pay elsewhere!

This charge may be adjusted for third party payers who have established a distance learning partnership with the District and provide contracted services in lieu of payment of all or a portion of the distance learning charge.

All Financial Aid for Dallas TeleCollege will be handled through your DCCCD home college.

Scholarships

There are a number of scholarships available to DCCCD students, including the Ted Pohrte scholarship specific to distance learners (those enrolled in a 9000 section course).
