* The business contract rate applies to Virginia employers and federal agencies located in Virginia. It allows the business contract rate to be charged to employers for employees who have an out-of-state domicile. Charges to employers for in-state domiciled employees are at the in-state tuition rate. All mandatory E&G fees apply (including capital fee on those employees with an out-of-state domicile). It is for students who do not qualify for in-state tuition rates and are enrolled in classes provided in a contract between their employers and Danville where the employer pays the students’ tuition directly to the College. The contract rate is only applicable to Virginia employers; any employers that are physically located outside of Virginia and choose to send employees to Danville will be billed at out-of-state tuition rates.
**The e-rate applies to designated online courses.
All students are assessed Mandatory “Non-E&G” fees by the college including Student Activity, and Maintenance Fees.
Student Activity Fee
The Student Activity Fee is currently $2.00 per credit hour. Monies are used for Student Activities events that may be social, cultural, or educational.
Maintenance Fee
All students enrolled for classes must pay a Maintenance Fee of $1.00 per credit hour. These funds are used to maintain college parking lots.
All out-of-state students are assessed the mandatory “E & G” Capital Fees as applicable.
Capital Fee
Students with out-of-state residences are charged $23.50 per credit hour.
E-rate Tuition
The e-rate is applicable to designated distance learning courses delivered entirely over the internet and designated as W in the class section.
Nonpayment of Tuition & Fees, or Other College Debts
Students are responsible for any college property that they damage or lose (such as laboratory or shop equipment, supplies, library books, and materials). A student’s continued attendance at DCC is dependent upon proper settlement of all debts owed to the institution. Transcripts, certificates, diplomas, or degrees will not be issued, nor will students be permitted to complete registration until accounts are cleared satisfactorily with the Business Office (Student Accounts), Bookstore, or Library. Should the student fail to satisfy all due and payable amounts for tuition and fees, college loans, fines, or other debts owed the college, DCC may initiate disciplinary action in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct and Discipline Policy.
Bad Check/Dishonored Payment Fees
DCC assesses a $35 service charge for handling returned checks or dishonored credit card or debit card payments for accounts not in past due collection status, or $50 when the account is in past-due collection status.
Waived Tuition
