Non-Refundable Fees

New England Regional Student Program (RSP/NEBHE)
Each New England state admits
out-of-state New England residents for study at its public, degree-granting
colleges, universities and institutions. At Three Rivers Community College,
these students pay the same tuition and fees as a Connecticut student, plus
a 50% surcharge.
See the "Admissions"
section for program eligibility requirements.
Tuition and Fee Waivers
Senior Citizens
Tuition, general fees, and the
application fee are completely waived for people 62 years of age and over
who wish to register for state-supported (General Fund) courses on a space
available basis. Special fees must still be paid. Those requesting the
waiver must present verification of date of birth. Senior citizens register
at the conclusion of each registration period on a space available basis.
Connecticut Tuition Waiver
This waiver is available for eligible Connecticut veterans. Public Act 03-85
amended the definition of "service in a time of war." For purposes of
identifying eligible veterans, Connecticut has adopted the Federal definition
(U.S. Code 38 USC 101, as amended). War periods include:
Periods beginning on the date of any future congressional declaration of war and ending on the date prescribed by the presidential proclamation or concurrent resolution of Congress.
Note: Because the Persian Gulf War is still in progress, veterans currently serving or who have served at least 90 days any time between August 2, 1990 and the date the Persian Gulf War ends are eligible for war service benefits. Connecticut continues to recognize certain smaller conflicts that are not included in the Federal definition:
To use the Waiver, students must present proof of service plus proof of residency. The latter may include rent receipts, tax bills, voter registration cards, or other documentation showing residence in Connecticut for a period of one year.
The 100% tuition waiver is applicable only to General Fund courses and is available for veterans if they are residents of Connecticut. In addition, any child of a Vietnam-era veteran who has been declared a MIA/POW is eligible, provided that the parent entered the service after January 1, 1960 and was a Connecticut resident upon entry or while serving in the Armed Forces. Veterans from other states who established residency through marriage to a Connecticut resident during the above times may also be eligible
Connecticut National Guard
The tuition of any eligible member of the Connecticut Army or Air National Guard
shall be waived if they wish to register for state-supported (General Fund)
courses. To be eligible for such a waiver, a member of the Connecticut Army or
Air National Guard must: (1) be a resident of Connecticut; (2) present
certification by the Adjutant General or his designee as a member in good
standing of the Guard; and (3) be enrolled or accepted for admission to a
community college on a full-time or part-time basis in a degree granting
program. The tuition waiver shall be reduced by the amount of any educational
reimbursement received from an employer.
Installment Payment Plan Policy
An installment plan option will be
available to students in good standing enrolled in General Fund courses for
six or more credits during the fall or spring semesters. The first payment
includes all general fees, the $25 installment plan fee and the first third
of the tuition.
A student wishing to utilize the installment payment plan must make arrangements with the College’s Cashier Office during specified times prior to each semester. The Cashier’s Office will complete the Installment Payment Plan Agreement, which will be signed by the student or legal guardian.
Payments must be made by the due dates indicated on the agreement to avoid the late payment fee ($15).
Tuition & Fee Schedule
Tuition and fees for Connecticut Community Colleges are established by the Board
of Trustees of Connecticut Community-Technical Colleges. These charges are
subject to change by the Board without prior notice. Students are urged to
consult the College’s web site and semester schedules for complete and current
tuition and fee information.
