The Austin Community College District (ACC) Board of Trustees unanimously voted to keep tuition and general fees flat for the 2025\u201326 academic year during its regular meeting on Monday, April 7.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here to serve the community, ensuring that we train graduates for jobs that are in demand and pay well, others who will transfer to 4-year universities, and high school students who are pursuing dual credit classes to get ahead, save money, and get exposed to college.&nbsp; Keeping tuition low serves many different types of potential students in the community,\u201d says ACC Board Chair Sean Hassan. \u201cHolding the line on tuition speaks to ACC\u2019s values and priorities. We want every potential student to know that a high-quality education is within reach, and that they can access it without taking on debt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What This Means for You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One year at Austin Community College costs $2,550 for in-district students who attend full time, making ACC one of the most affordable community colleges in Texas and a fraction of the cost of attending nearby four-year colleges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Board\u2019s vote marks the 12th consecutive year of no tuition increases at ACC. Over the past 12 years, as inflation has steadily increased, ACC\u2019s commitment to hold tuition flat has saved students thousands of dollars. <a href=\"https:\/\/educationdata.org\/average-cost-of-college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to Education Data Initiative,<\/a> the average in-state tuition rate is up more than 20% since AY 2012- 13, the last time ACC raised its rates.&nbsp; If the College raised its tuition and fees at the same rate, students would be paying about $100 per credit hour.&nbsp; Instead, tuition for in-district students remains at $67 per credit hour\u2014or $85 per credit hour when including general fees. &nbsp; The out-of-district rate also remains unchanged at $201 per credit hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rate includes access to free tutoring, academic coaching, advising, counseling, technology support, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fall 2025 Registration Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opens Monday, May 12, for current and former students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opens Friday, May 16, for all students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Classes begin Monday, August 25<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Start planning now to be ready when registration opens.
