In a historic move, the ACC Board of Trustees voted to freeze tuition rates for next school year. The College’s 13-year tuition freeze stands as a rare national benchmark—representing one of the nation’s longest-running efforts to keep higher education affordable.
With the freeze, tuition for in-district students remains at $67 per credit hour—or $85 per credit hour when including general fees. The out-of-district rate also remains unchanged at $201 per credit hour. The rate includes access to free tutoring, academic coaching, advising, counseling, technology support, and more.

“Maintaining tuition and fees for 13 straight years reflects our deep commitment to this community. We know cost is one of the biggest barriers to higher education. It’s our responsibility as a Board to keep college within reach,” says ACC Board Chair Sean Hassan. “I’m proud that we continue to prioritize our students and this community by ensuring they can start or continue their education without added financial strain, all while accessing the high-quality training they need to succeed.”
