Step 2: Apply any applicable variable tuition

After determining your base tuition, you will need to add any applicable variable tuition rates. Variable tuition is applied to programs that require specialized equipment, equipment maintenance costs and high contact hours of instruction.

  • A variable tuition rate of $76 per credit hour, in addition to the standard tuition rate, will be applied to all courses in Automotive Technology, Diesel Power Technology, Esthetics, Radiologic Technology, Registered Nursing, Technology & Manufacturing, Therapeutic Massage and Welding Technology programs.
Step 3: Textbook Costs

Textbook charges for Kish's Inclusive Access (IA) Program may be billed directly to your student account during registration, which will appear on your statement as “Textbook Charge.” IA is a program you can opt out of if you do not wish to participate. Additional textbook resources may be needed for your classes, and you can look up your textbook costs with the Kish Store's Price Comparison Tool.
