Dual Credit Tuition and Fees
Cost
The tuition rate for dual credit courses is established through the Kentucky legislature. For the 2025-2026 academic year, dual credit tuition is capped at $97 per credit hour. Dual Credit tuition is inclusive of virtual textbooks.
In an effort to make sure that your bill accounts for scholarship funding, we wait to send dual credit bills until November (for the fall semester) and April (for the spring semester). However, if we have not received information about your scholarship by the established deadlines, a bill will be generated.
