What's With the ***?
Great question!
The first * is the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competitiveness fee. This
fee does not apply to Dual Credit Students.
+For students who are enrolled in online-only courses, the tuition is the same regardless
of your residency. Other fees, such as the mandatory fee and a distance learning course
fee of $20/credit hour still apply.

1 Cost of attendance estimates are based upon student's expected living arrangements
and assume full-time enrollment (12 credit hours each semester).
2 Estimated Indirect Costs are NOT amounts that will be charged to the student's account
at the college, but are average amounts that a student could expect to incur during
periods of enrollment.
3 Some programs of study prepare students for work in a profession that requires licensure
to be employed in your state. The cost of obtaining licensure varies by profession
and by the state in which the license is obtained. You can find a list of academic
programs leading to state licensure at Licensure Disclosures.
These are estimated values used to calculate eligibility for financial aid funds and are updated annually.
