cost comparisonTuition & Fees

How much does it cost? That's often the first question students ask and it's critical to making sound choices.

Centralia College has one of the lowest tuitions in the state, making it an affordable option for most.

Tuition Payment Options

Tuition and fees must be paid in full by the tuition deadline. If students register after the deadline, tuition is due at time of registration. Unpaid students who have not signed up for the Tuition Payment Plan will be dropped from classes. For details on payment deadlines, the payment plan, and how to avoid being dropped for non-payment, visit the Ways to Pay page

Students meeting the quarterly deadlines established by Financial Aid Office can qualify for a tuition hold until their funds are disbursed.
