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
Twenty-six dollars a unit?? Yes please! This means even students who are in tough money situations can enroll in classes guilt-free. It is very affordable, and many classes are eligible to transfer to 4-year colleges.
Noelle from Murrieta, CA
Classes are expensive and so are books, but parking is only twenty bucks! That is super cheap! And it's a big parking lot!
Heather from Menifee, CA
It's no surprise that community college is cheaper than a university. It's also the smarter road to go on. Spend the first couple years finishing up your General Education then transfer to a university. You will save A LOT of money.
Angela from Temecula, CA
The tuition is extremely cheap. I LOVE how cheap it is. Compared to other schools, going to Mount San Jacinto is like going to school for free, which in this economy is mind blowing! The cafe is also very cheap but it serves delicious food.
