Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
It's great if you want to spend as little as $500 for a semester
Rebecca from Mckinney, TX
I took 6 classes for my first semester and it only cost me about $560. For a first time college student that was a lot easier for me to fork out, than a $20,000 tuition. Also since there are many campuses, you can choose many different professors in different campuses.
Student from Plano, TX
So happy I did this to get my basics done first before transferring to a University! I have saved hundreds!!!
Geovanna from Rowlett, TX
I live in-county, and my tuition for full-time was only around $500 a semester. Extremely well priced.
Alaina from Frisco, TX
I went to Collin for 2 years immediately after high school, got my Associate's of Science, and transferred smoothly to UTD the next fall. If you pay attention to your plan, make sure that you understand what is required and expected of you, and stay vigilant over your GPA, then you will have absolutely no problem pursuing your degree there or elsewhere. The only difference between Collin and UTD is... Collin is significantly cheaper.
Alan from Plano, TX
Collin College is the least expensive of all college's in the state of Texas. Enough said!
steve from Mckinney, TX
if your looking to get your basics out of the way, this is the perfect place 12 hrs a semester will run you about 842$ this is what i recently paid very reasonable when utd is charging 4 times as much for the same classes.
Ernesto Plano, Tx
The college tuition is VERY affordable. Also, the school is very helpful and on speed at everything including admission, financial aid and registration. Classes are very flexible with anyone who either have a full time job such as me or families, even someone who is active in an academic program.
Trang from Carrollton, TX
This college was the cheapest one out there. I am paying off my loan while I am in school and, because the college is so affordable, it is relatively easy.
