Fees and Other Costs

 
Registration Fees (Download Fee Schedule)

 

Full-time students, whether residents or non-residents, pay maintenance fees and technology access fees.  Students enrolling for less than a full term pay prorated fees for the term based upon the current fee schedule.  Fees must be paid during registration before students will be officially admitted to class.  Thereafter, fees must be paid at the beginning of each term.

 

Part-time students are those who are enrolling in short-term, part-time, or supplemental programs (less than 432 hours).  These students are assessed registration fees based on the length (number of hours) of the program.  Fees are collected during registration periods before classes begin.

Regents OnLine Degree Program (RODP)


A different fee schedule exists for students enrolling in online classes.  Fees must be paid through the “home institution” designated by the student.  For more information, visit the web site:  www.rodp.org/enrolltoday.

 

Payment of Fees

 

Fees may be paid by cash, check, credit card, or direct bill to a third party agency, provided that appropriate documentation has been provided to the Student Services Office.  Workforce Investment Act (WIA), State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), Trade Readjustment Act (TRA), and Veteran’s Benefits (VA) may sponsor students at the Center.  Contact Student Services or attend a TTC-H Preview session for more information.

 

Fee Waivers


Full-time state employees (includes TBR and UT employees) may enroll in a training program on a space-available basis without paying maintenance fees. Employees must submit an approved PC-191 at registration each quarter.   Any dependent child under the age of 21 whose parent died as a direct result of injuries received while serving in the armed forces may be eligible for a fee waiver.

 

Fee Discounts


A maintenance fee discount equal to 50% will be provided to the following persons:  1) Persons 65 years of age or older, 2) Spouses and dependent children under the age of 26 whose parent is employed by the TBR or UT system.  A maintenance fee discount of 25% will be given to dependent children under the age of 24 whose parent is employed as a full-time state employee or certified teacher in a Tennessee public school or whose parent is a retired state employee.  Discount forms must be submitted for each quarter at the time of registration.

 

Eligibility for Deferment of Payment of Tuition and Fees by Certain Eligible Students Receiving U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or Other Governmentally Funded Educational Assistance Benefits

 

Service members, Veterans, and dependents of veterans who are eligible beneficiaries of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs education benefits or other governmentally funded educational assistance, subject to the conditions and guidelines set forth in Tennessee Code Annotated 49-7-104 as amended, may elect, upon formal application, to defer payment of required tuition and fees until the final day of the term for which the deferment has been requested.  Application for the deferment must be made no later than 14 days after the beginning of the term, and the amount of the deferment shall not exceed the total monetary benefits to be received for the term.  Students who have been granted deferments are expected to make timely payments on their outstanding tuition and fees balance once education benefits are delivered, and eligibility for such deferment shall terminate if the student fails to abide by any applicable rule or regulation, or to act in good faith in making timely payments.  This notice is published pursuant to Public Chapter 279, Acts of 2003, effective July 1, 2003.
