WHAT IT COSTS TO ATTEND SCC
We think you should review what our students tell us it cost them on average to attend school and pay their living expenses. You will be able to successfully complete your program of study, if you have made plans for how to pay all these expenses, and if you know in advance how many years you will be attending here. The majority of our students attend SCC at least 3 years, so be sure you can pay your bills before you start. Here are last year’s numbers for 2 full-time semesters.

How long will it take you to graduate? A little planning as you start can keep you on track. Consider:
• Do you need extra developmental courses to prepare for college level English and math? • Are you applying for a selective health program that will start in a later year?
• Can you successfully handle 15-18 credit hours each semester to finish in just 2 years? • Do you have other demands on your time such as work, family, or do you need extra
study time?
Financial aid programs have limits on how long they can be received, so we want to be sure you know how to stay on track.
