Most HACC students will face a tuition increase for the next academic year, the college announced on Tuesday.
For the 2025-26 year, the tuition for most students will rise to $288.50 per credit, an increase of $22 per credit, according to HACC. This is the “non-sponsored” tuition rate, which applies to most students.
The new rates are:
- Tuition for sponsored students will increase by $2.25 per credit.
- Tuition for non-sponsored students will increase by $22 per credit.
- Tuition for out-of-state students will increase by $37.25 per credit.
- Tuition for College in the High School students will not change.
- Tuition for dual-enrolled students will not change.
The tuition hike is part of the $124 million budget for 2025-26, approved Tuesday by the college’s board of trustees. According to HACC, trustees needed to increase tuition to offset a projected $275,000 deficit.
“HACC’s Board of Trustees expects the College to present a fiscally responsible budget each year. The 2025-26 budget reflects a long-standing practice of accountable budget stewardship as well as our ongoing commitment to serving students first,” said HACC President and CEO John J. “Ski” Sygielski, in a statement. “We do everything we can to ensure that HACC continues to be an affordable option. This budget helps ensure that critical services and resources continue to be available to all students.”
According to HACC, a variety of scholarships are available through the HACC Foundation to help students pay for their education. These funds do not need to be repaid by the recipients.
