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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

HCC is very affordable compared to any University, and the quality of learning here is more hands on than it is at Universities. So you are paying half the money for more efficient learning experiences! How much better does it get?!
Julia from Tampa, FL
incrediable faculty and community! as i mentioned this already, but i am driving all the way from michigan to florida for this college it really caught my eye. i am beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to go to college there this year.
jayla from hudsonville, mi
Literally half the cost of USF but with the same classes
andrea from tampa, fl
For in-state residents, the price per class hour is hard to beat.
K. Rich from Tampa, FL
You're getting more than what you pay for. Since it's a community college, the price per semester is cut drastically, but you're still getting classes that are transferable to a university!
Alyssa from Tampa, FL
You save a lot more money by attending this collage.
Vinoshka from Lutz, FL
This college is pretty cheap, and you get a good education. It's a little over $100 per credit hour for in-state tuition, about $380 for out-of-state. It's a pretty good deal, since you save A LOT of money, and you get a better education than a University would offer, since in this institution, one can go up to their professors to ask any questions.
