Fee Proration

The above listed fees are based on full-time enrollment of 12+ credit hours. Students enrolled in less than 12 hours will have their program fees prorated based on the following:

  • Full Time (12+ credit hours): 100%
  • Three Quarter Time (9-11 credit hours): 75%
  • Half Time (6-8 credit hours): 50%
  • Less than half Time (<6 credit hours): 25%

 

**Nursing and Practical Nursing students, while enrolled during the clinical portion of their program, will not have their program fees prorated because these fees are not based on credit hours.

 

Note: Bridge to Clemson fees are not impacted. Bridge fees will continue to be listed separately as part of the student’s bill.

“Cost of Attendance” is an estimated calculation of the total cost to go to school, giving an allowance ceiling for grants, scholarships, and loans should you need to have every expense covered in order to attend. Cost of Attendance does not represent the actual charges that you will be responsible to the college for. For a list of the actual charges due to the college, please go to your MyTCTC portal and click on the “My Bill/Schedule” tile.
