Tuition and Fees

How much does a semester at MACC cost?

Investing in a college education may be the best investment you can make. However, as with any investment, you should know up front how much it will cost. In order to assist you in planning your education, we have outlined the costs, including tuition and fees, for MACC district residents, other Missouri residents, other U.S. residents, and International Students. 

Note: Costs are subject to change by the MACC Board of Trustees without notice. Moberly Area Community College retains the right to cancel course offerings when enrollment is too low to make a course educationally sound and economically efficient. Course cancellation will result in refund of tuition for the canceled class.

A late registration fee of $75 will be charged to students enrolling in a class or classes on or after the first day of the semester. Please see the academic calendar at https://www.macc.edu/services/academic-calendar.  

Residency Definitions

A MACC district resident is defined as one of the following:
  • Students claimed as dependents who reside with their parents and whose parents have their permanent residence within the Moberly Area Community College District.
  • Students who do not live with their parents but are claimed as dependents by their parents whose permanent residence is within the Moberly Area Community College District. Students who have established permanent residence in the Moberly Area Community College District through full-time employment or other pursuits. Additionally, a student who has established residence in the Moberly Area Community College District for the purpose of attending college must reside in the district for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the first day of class.
  • Students who have declared their emancipation and have established their residence within the Moberly Area Community College district by living in the district for 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment.
  • Students who own and reside in a home in the MACC district.
Residency will be determined at the time of admission by the Office of Student Affairs according to the residency policy. Any questions concerning the policy or its interpretation should be directed to the Dean of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management.
Students who have their residency outside the MACC district but have met the established criteria to be a MACC district resident must apply for this residency change. MACC will not make the change automatically. If a question arises concerning the resident status of the student, the student has responsibility to prove permanent residence within the district.
Any proof that the student can provide will be evaluated on an individual basis. The following legal documents may be used to verify residency if they are issued in the student’s name, indicate current address, and are dated at least 12 months prior to the student’s enrollment:
  • Contracts for purchase of property
  • Lease or rental agreements
  • Utility contracts (including 1-year certificates)
  • Bank statements
  • Tax forms (e.g., personal property, state, income, real estate)
Students who have declared their emancipation and are under 22 years of age may be required to submit a copy of their parent’s income tax form to verify that they were not claimed a dependent.
Other Missouri Residents are those whose permanent residence and address are within the state of Missouri but not within the College district. In addition, if the student is not living with his or her parents, the student must be 22 years of age or emancipated (student is not under the care, custody or support of parents or legal guardians).
Other U.S. Residents are those whose permanent residence and address are outside the state of Missouri. This includes the following:
