Effective with the Fall 2005 Semester, the following tuition, fees, and charges have been adopted by the board of Trustees of Community College District No. 508. This tuition, fee, and charge schedule is subject to change at any time by the board of Trustees.

All tuition, fees, and charges are payable at the time of registration. Payment may be made in cash, or by check or money order payable to the college of registration. All fees are payable to the Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center (H.P.V.E.C.) in cash, personal checks, or money orders at the time of registration.

There will be a $25.00 fee for a check returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or a stop-payment check. Any student who has once given the City Colleges of Chicago either a NSF or stop-payment check, will not be allowed to make any subsequent payment by check at any of the City Colleges of Chicago . Consult the respective College business Office for details. For more details, check with the Business Office.

Tuition

Chicago residents: Effective summer 2006 $72.00 per credit hour.

Residents of illinois : $108.33 for each credit hour per semester or term in addition to the tuition paid by Chicago residents.

Non-residents of illinois : $219.6for each credit hour per semester or term in addition to the tuition paid by Chicago residents.

RESIDENCY STATUS
Students who live within the boundaries of the city of Chicago pay lower fees than residents of Illinois outside Chicago , given that H.P.V.E.C. is a publicly supported institution. Therefore, students are required to submit proof of residency at the time of registration (driver's license, voter registration card, tax forms and utility bills). In addition, the institution may require an affidavit from the student, or his parent or guardian in case of a minor. There are three categories of residency that will determine which fee rate applies to a particular student:

1. Chicago residents: adults or emancipated minors who live in Chicago and minors whose parents or legal guardians live in Chicago .

2. Residents of Illinois outside Chicago : applies to students residing outside Chicago and non-emancipated minors whose parents or guardians live outside Chicago but within Illinois .

3. Non-Residents of Illinois : applies to students who do not reside in the State of Illinois and all foreign students whether holding diplomatic, student, visitor, or other non-immigrant visas.
