Fees
If you attended a California high school for at least 3 years and graduated or obtained your GED, you may be eligible for a waiver of non-resident tuition. Find out more about the
AB540 Tuition Exemption.
Fees at LTCC are well below the national average.
Current fees are listed in the table below. Prospective students should also consider the additional costs for housing, transportation, books, and other expenses. Many California students are eligible for the Board of Governors' fee waiver. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid.
Current students: All fees and tuition must be paid in full at the time of registration. You may pay your fees via WebAdvisor in Passport. Please see the Schedule of Classes for the current quarter for additional information about fees and refunds.
