The total cost of each course is determined by adding the program fee (calculated by multiplying the tuition per-credit rate times the credit value of the course), plus the materials fee (charge for consumable supplies - used in teaching the course), plus an Academic Support Center fee, and a per-credit student fee. Out-of-state tuition is an additional fee paid by nonresidents of Wisconsin or foreign nationals over and above the course fee.
Adult High School Fees
The Adult High School Fee is determined by student fee and materials fee calculation per credit - the total tuition is approximately $29.11 - $34.86. The credits shown in class schedules and catalogs for Adult High School courses are Adult High School credits and are not the basis for computing nonresident tuition and student fees. The equated credits assigned to each Adult High School course for fee purposes by the Wisconsin Technical College System Board are vocational credits, and these are the figures used in computing nonresident tuition and student fees.
The credit conversion for 700-799 courses is as follows:

These fees are established by the MATC Board. The class periods of instruction for 600-series courses have been equated to credits for fee purposes, and in addition a materials fee is charged.
