THIRD-ATTEMPT TUITION POLICY

Effective for fall 2005 semester, the Dallas County Community College District will charge a higher tuition rate to students who register to take a course for the third or subsequent time.

On the student's third and subsequent attempts to take the majority of credit and workforce continuing education courses, the higher tuition will be charged. Developmental studies courses and some others are not included in this policy.

Courses taken in the fall 2002 semester or later at any of the Dallas County Community College District colleges are counted toward the third attempt. To view detailed lists of

  1. courses that will not be charged at the higher tuition rate, and
  2. cross-listed courses where one course equates to another for this purpose,
