Cost of Attendance Estimate

Our tuition costs are less than half of what you’d pay at a public university and a fraction of the cost of a private college.

Below is Parkland’s estimated budget used to calculate cost of attendance. This is based on full-time, in-district and out-of-district students for the fall and spring semesters.
 

Your actual cost of attendance will vary based on your enrollment level, program of study (i.e. High-cost career programs/Tier 2 courses), cost of attaining a license/certification or first professional credential, living arrangements, transportation costs, and lifestyle. This information is provided to help you estimate cost so you can plan ahead and determine how much money you may need to attend Parkland College.

*Cost of Attendance is also used to calculate a student’s financial need, as it sets a limit on the total aid that a student may receive.
