Tuition and Fees

MCC is a great value. Our tuition is one of the lowest in the area - about 1/3 that of public four-year schools and a tiny fraction of private colleges. We offer many ways to pay, plus a tuition installment plan to make it even easier to afford college.

Refunds

If we cancel a class, you will get a 100% refund. All other refunds are based on the date you officially drop a class. View refund dates. Failure to attend class is not considered an official drop. Unpaid account balances will have the refund credited back to your account.

Change of address

When you change addresses, update your records immediately through the student center, or submit a Statistical Data Change form (PDF) to a records office.

Auditing a class

Auditing lets you review a class without grades or tests. No credit is given and fees are the same as for a credit course. If you wish to audit, you must declare this when you enroll.
