The Yavapai College District Governing Board approved a tuition increase for the College on Tuesday at its monthly Board meeting that will be implemented for the fall 2019 semester. The tuition increase will add $4 per credit hour to general education courses, $5 per credit hour to lab-based courses, and $6 per credit hour to CTE and allied health courses for in-state students. The tuition cost for dual enrollment students, who take college courses at their high school, will not see a price change. Despite the increase, officials say YC remains one of the most affordable post secondary schools in the state, and that the cost of tuition remains below the Arizona community college average, 26% below the national community college average, and 77% below the average cost for Arizona four-year schools.
