District Governing Board unanimously approved discount at its monthly Board meeting on Tuesday
High school students taking online courses from Yavapai Community College.
At its meeting last Tuesday, the Yavapai Community College Governing Board unanimously approved a 50% discount for high school students who are taking online courses offered by the College. The 50% tuition discount reduces the high school student tuition payable to Yavapai Community College to about $50 per credit for a tier one course (lab and market-based classes prices will differ).
In the College’s recent press release on this subject, president Dr. Lisa Rhine said that “Education should be accessible and affordable for everyone, and at Yavapai College, we strive to make that a reality. High school students who take college classes get a significant jumpstart on completing their educational goals at a faster, higher success rate.”
In addition to the new concurrent enrollment discount, the Community College will offer discounts for:
- Senior Citizens 65+ (50% discount)
- Out of State Athletes (50% discount)
- High School Students taking Dual Credit Classes — college credit classes taught at high schools by high school teachers ( about 90% discount)
