Tuition & Fees Report, 2014-2015
Division of Community Colleges, Iowa Department of Education
The community college tuition and fees report is prepared each fiscal year. The report includes trends in tuition and fees among Iowa's community colleges, as well as comparisons to Iowa's public universities and national comparisons. Average total in-state cost of enrollment for a full-time student enrolled in Iowa's community colleges will be $157.78 per semester hour in fiscal year 2015, up 2.9 percent from last year. Provisional data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) suggest that average total enrollment costs per semester hour during FY 2013 were higher among community colleges in Illinois, Minnesota, and South Dakota than corresponding costs in Iowa. IPEDS data suggest average total enrollment cost per semester hour at Iowa's community colleges was about 14 percent lower than the regional average ($171.34 per semester hour) in FY 2013. In fiscal year 2015, average tuition of Iowa's community college will be almost 42 percent lower than average tuition at Iowa's public universities. In fiscal year 2013, tuition and fees accounted for over 55 percent of community colleges' unrestricted operating revenue. [For the 2013-2014 report, see ED593461.]
