Nonresident Tuition for 2024-2025
Dear Students,
We want to let you know that the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board of Trustees recently approved a tuition increase for all nonresident students for the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year.
Tuition will increase from $239 per credit unit to $245 per unit. The enrollment fee will continue to be $31 per unit.
The total cost per unit for the 2023-2024 academic year will be $276. (This doesn't include campus-specific basic fees, paid by all students, which are not based on the number of units taken.)
Many factors are taken into consideration when calculating tuition and fees. Please note:
- The district is legally required to follow California’s Education Code Section 76140, which relates to setting nonresident tuition rates. The legal requirements include setting a minimum nonresident tuition rate.
- The district’s nonresident tuition rate is consistently at the statewide average for community colleges and far lower than public and private universities.
- Nonresident tuition at the statewide average is below the district’s total cost of education per student.
- The enrollment fee of $31 per unit will not increase in 2024-2025.
- The tuition increase will take effect beginning with the 2024 summer session.
De Anza College and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District remain committed to your success. All students will continue to receive a high quality, affordable education from one of the top community colleges in California.
