No deposit is needed to register for classes; payment in full is required by the stated “Tuition Due Date” prior to the start of each semester. Students are responsible for ensuring that their bills are completely covered by payment, authorized financial aid, payment plan or a third party. Students who do not pay their accounts in full by the due date will be dropped from classes for non-payment and will not be able to re-register until full payment is made.

To help you meet your educational expenses, Dutchess Community College offers the e-Cashier Payment Plan. There are no interest or finance charges assessed and there is no credit check. This is a semester-based plan and is easy to enroll in through your myDCC account. Once you set up your plan, payments are made automatically. This is not a loan program. Further information about the e-Cashier plan can be obtained from Student Financial Services or through your myDCC account.
Tuition and fees are established by the DCC Board of Trustees and are reviewed annually and subject to change. Tuition correct at time of publishing; however, review and adjustment of tuition and fees may occur before the start of the 2021-2022 academic year.
NOTES:
To qualify for the NY State Resident rate, a student must have been a resident of
New York State for one year immediately prior to registration. In addition, those
who are not residents of Dutchess County must present a Certificate of Residence signed
by the chief fiscal officer of the county or counties in which they have lived in
the past six months. Without such a certificate or certificates, a student will be
required to pay the Nonresident Tuition rate. Dutchess County residents must file
an Affirmation of Dutchess County Residence (available in Student Financial Services
or the Registrar’s Office) to pay the resident tuition rate.
