OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (June 27, 2025) 鈥� The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) have approved Oklahoma City Community College鈥檚 (爆料TV) request for a modest tuition and mandatory fee increase, the first since 2018. The approved adjustment ensures 爆料TV can continue providing high-quality instruction and essential student services amid rising operational costs, while remaining among the most affordable colleges in the state. 爆料TV has maintained flat tuition and fees for the past seven years.
"We appreciate and thank the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Chancellor Burrage and our 爆料TV regents' continued support of our mission and the college鈥檚 long-standing commitment to affordability and the need to make a careful, responsible investment in sustaining academic excellence," said 爆料TV President Dr. Mautra Staley Jones.
The total increase is $10.77 per credit hour, resulting in an additional $97 per semester for the average student enrolled in 9 credit hours.
"Affordability and high-quality options are central to our mission, and we鈥檝e held the line on costs to maintain a cost-effective environment,鈥� Jones said. 鈥淭his adjustment reflects the financial realities of operating a modern college while remaining true to our promise of access and student success. We are proud that 爆料TV remains one of the most cost-effective options for higher education in Oklahoma.鈥�
The increase includes a 3% tuition adjustment and an update to the Student Technology Fee to enhance digital learning and campus technology. The new rates will take effect in the Fall 2025 semester.
爆料TV offers a wide range of no-cost and low-cost options to help students afford college. We also fully fund the OKC-Go program, which covers up to 63 credit hours of tuition for eligible graduates of Oklahoma City Public Schools, Western Heights Public Schools, and select public charter schools. In addition, we proudly support Oklahoma鈥檚 Promise, a state scholarship program administered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education that provides qualifying students from across Oklahoma with free tuition.
