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

I'm paying out of state tuition right now, but the normal $26 per unit is a very good deal compared to other state community colleges. For anyone wanting to gain a higher education, this is a good deal.
Chain from L.A. County
I had the Board of Governors' Fee Waiver, and paid next to nothing for my education.
Jennilee from Redondo Beach, CA
The price of classes and books are reasonable.You get your moneys worth.
Shanese from Torrance, CA
There are aids available low income students. One of them is fee waiver that if a student can prove that he is not able to afford for tuition, he or she can be qualified for waiver to save money.
Raphael from Torrance, CA
It is super cheap compared to a college or university and the transportation that leaves you directly in front is very time-saving.
