Tuition

Fox Valley Technical College offers the most efficient and affordable option for higher education in the Fox Valley. On average, FVTC’s tuition costs less than half that of two years of in-state tuition at a four-year public university.

Tuition costs do not include books, program supplies, tools/ equipment, uniforms or field trips. Since additional costs vary by program, please check with a program advisor for specific information. If you have available financial aid, those funds may be used for qualifying books, supplies and equipment.

You can pay your tuition using our free and easy eFAS system (electronic Financial Account for Students), or by check, money order, electronic funds transfer, employer/agency contract or financial aid. Some credit card payments are accepted, however, there is an additional service charge. Tuition and fees are due in full 10 days prior to the class start date unless a payment plan has been arranged.
