Tuition & Fees

How to Calculate the Cost

1. Determine your residency status
   1. Do you live in the Lee College district?
      1. If yes, you pay in-district tuition rate
      2. If no, go to question 2.
   2. Do you live outside the Lee College district but have been a Texas resident for the past 12 months?*
      1. If yes, you pay out-of-district tuition rate.
      2. If no, go to question 3.
   3. Have you lived outside of Texas within the last 12 months?
      1. If yes, you will pay the non-resident tuition rate.
      2. If no, go back to questions 1 and 2.**
2. Determine the number of credit hours you are taking
   1. List your class schedule:
         Example: ACCT 2401
                       ARTS 1303
                       ELPT 1321
                       KINE 1123
                       PFPB 1305
   2. The second digit in the course number determines the number of credit hours for that particular course.
         Example: ACCT 2401
         This course has 4 credit hours.
   3. In example #1, the total number of credit hours is 14.
         (4+3+3+1+3=14).
3. Determine the amount due
   1. Look on the Tuition & Fees table at the credit hours column. Choose either (1) Non-resident, (2) Out-of-district or (3) In-district tuition rate as determined in #1, “Determine your residency status” above.
   2. Add the fees along the row and you will see the total for the number of credit hours for each residency status.
   3. Add the lab and other fees for each course. As a result of the recent state legistrative session, college budgets are uncertain. Accurate fee costs are only available on the Lee College web site and from the Business Office. Details about other fees are listed below.
   4. The cost of books and materials is available at the bookstore.

* If you live outside the district but own property within GCCISD, present your paid tax receipt to the cashier’s office at the time of registration payment in order to receive tuition credit.
** If you are unsure of your residency status, contact the Admission and Records Office.
