Non-Resident
To be considered a Colorado resident, a student must show proof of residency in the state for the immediate 12 months prior to the start date of the semester, and meet other requirements. If you are a new student who has been classified as a non-resident and feel you are a resident or if you are a continuing non-resident student and feel you now meet residency requirements, you must petition for this change by the first day of the semester you plan to attend. Turning in a petition does not guarantee you will be changed to resident status. If your appeal is denied and you do not drop your classes by the drop date, you will have to pay non-resident tuition.

Estimating Educational Expenses

This Cost of Attendance (COA) chart is an estimate of the educational expenses of students enrolled during the academic year (fall, spring and/or summer semesters). These estimates include direct charges (tuition and fees) and indirect expenses (transportation, books, supplies, miscellaneous living expenses and food and housing). Due to the state of Colorado's legislative process, actual tuition figures may be different from those shown here. (This example below reflects a student attending for nine months, i.e. fall/spring.)

The COA below is based upon full-time attendance for fall and spring term. The COA may be different for students who are not enrolled full time, have different degree/certificate program costs, such dental or nursing tuition differentials or Bachelor degree tuition. Fee cost may vary by campus/site.

Additional information for tuition and fee amounts can be found at by visiting PCC Tuition & Fees.

* Resident tuition figures listed above include application of the COF (Colorado Opportunity Fund) **Food and housing, personal and medical, transportation cost elements are estimated based on information provided by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.
