Base tuition at Dallas College has not been adjusted for inflation in 10 years. Revenue from the increase will be invested in additional faculty, more student services staff, new facilities and technology upgrades to improve the student experience.

Any increase in expenses can be challenging. Dallas College offers several programs to help, including scholarships, on-campus jobs and food, emergency housing, child care and transportation assistance. Payment plans are available for students paying out of pocket. For information about these programs, please read our blog post on the tuition change or contact your success coach.
