Virginia's Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Colleges Logo

State Board for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Colleges to consider 2026-27 Tuition and Fees at meeting on May 21, 2026

In accordance with Section 23.1-307 (D) of the Code of Virginia, the State Board for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Colleges provides notice that at its regular business meeting on May 21, 2026, it will consider tuition andmandatory educational and general (E&G)increases for Virginia’s Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Colleges, effective fall semester 2026. The May 21 meeting will occur at 9 a.m. at the Virginia Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College System, System Office, 300 Arboretum Place, Richmond, VA 23236.

For in-state and out-of-state students, the State Board will consider tuition rate and E& G increases of between $3.50 per credit hour and $8.00 per credit hour. The State Board will also consider mandatory non-E&G fee increases of no more than $0.50 per credit hour for select colleges.

The tuition and fee increases are necessary to pay for additional costs of operating Virginia’s community colleges, including costs associated with state-mandated compensation and benefit increases, technology costs, insurance premiums, and inflationary cost pressures.

Current tuition and mandatory fees at Virginia’s Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Colleges are: $168.30 per credit hour for in-state students, and $385.40 for out-of-state students. You can  on the VCCS website.

Virginia Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ college tuition remains less than one-third the cost of attending public four-year baccalaureate institutions.

Written comments from the public will be accepted until 5 p.m. on May 20 and will be made available to the Board before action on tuition is taken. Written comments may be sent to Andrew Kachur, Executive Coordinator for the Chancellor, at akachur@vccs.edu, or they may be mailed to the attention of Andrew Kachur at:
