If you’re like most students or parents, you worry about the burden of paying for college. Lamar Community College’s commitment to high-quality, affordable education helps you achieve your goals with less debt.
Start by determining your residency and course type, then expand the tuition table that best matches you. Then, you can find your approximate tuition cost based on the number of credits you plan to take each semester.
Resident
LCC students whose permanent residence is in Colorado qualify for resident tuition rates as well as the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend.
Students outside of WUE states and Colorado pay non-resident tuition rates. Non-resident tuition for online courses is the same regardless of WUE status.
See below for on-campus and online tuition rates for non-residents. Lamar Community College offers a non-resident pilot rate; which is currently $252.60 lower than the regular non-resident rate offered at Urban Colorado Community Colleges.
