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.

Most students live at home and tuition is only twenty dollars per unit.
Grossmont Student
WWAYYyyyy cheaper to take your first two years here then transfer.
Amber from Alpine, CA
At around $26 a unit, I am just able to afford college especially compared to University schools. Reading the other reviews for this school I am guessing there has been a big increase from $10 and $16 but it still is pretty good.
Marielle from San Diego, CA
I think the tuition for Grossmont is not bad at all but the only issue is the price for books but thats the same no matter what school you go to. and for 16.00 a unit its pretty reasonable.
