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.
Then *** is the distance learner fee. You'll pay this fee if you have classes with
online portions, like Learn on Demand or Learn by term. Don't worry, 'hybrid' classes
don't pay this 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 distance learning fee
still apply.

Tuition and charges are determined by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System Board of Regents. For payment deadlines, refer to the college academic calendar.
The amount you will pay as a KCTCS student depends on whether you're a resident of Kentucky and how many classes you take. Tuition is generally due before you begin classes, but our payment plan gives you the option of making payments over time. Additional charges for customized courses and services may apply. Contact your local KCTCS college for a complete listing.
