Tuition Category | Cost Per Credit Hour |
---|---|
In-State Students | $182/credit hour |
Dual Credit Students | $91/credit hour |
Out-of-State Students: From Contiguous Counties* | $364/credit hour |
Out-of-State Students: Other Out-of-State Students | $637/credit hour |
Online-Only Courses+ (all students): | $182/credit hour |
Mandatory Fee** (all students): | $8/credit hour |
Distance Learner Fee*** | $20/credit hour |
What's With the ***?
Great question!
The first * is for contiguous counties. Contiguous counties are those which border Kentucky. Students from these counties pay a special tuition rate. Students from Reciprocity Counties pay in-state tuition.
Next, the ** is the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competitiveness fee.
+For students who are enrolled in online-only courses, the tuition is the same regardless
of your residency. Other fees, such as the mandatory fee and a distance learning course
fee of $20/credit hour still apply.

Student Responsibility
If your plans have changed, and you're not going to attend class, you'll need to officially withdraw. Check the academic calendar of the delivery college (in KCTCS) to see the official withdraw schedule.
Students who have not fully paid financial obligations to BCTC or to any division or organization of BCTC will not be permitted to register for future credit or non-credit offerings, receive transcripts, transfer credits to another institution, or graduate.
BCTC will pursue collection of all outstanding accounts pursuant to its business procedures.
Accounts that remain delinquent may be referred to outside agencies for collection and are subject to additional fees and costs.
BCTC makes every effort to include relevant, timely, and accurate information in its publications.
