Cost of Attendance
The following “Cost of Attendance” represents an estimate of the direct and indirect costs for a state resident to attend Massasoit Community College on a full-time basis (12+ credits) for one academic year (Fall through Spring).
Cost of attendance is used to calculate the amount and type(s) of financial aid for which a student may qualify and will vary based on a student’s housing arrangements, state residency status, and enrollment status, which is defined as follows:
12+ credits/semester = Full-time
9-11 credits/semester = Three-quarter time
6-8 credits/semester = Half-time
<6 credits = Less than half-time
Tuition and fees are subject to change at any time during an academic year, and are determined by the Massasoit Board of Trustees and the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education.
