Tuition & Fees

Fees are due when you register, or you may use the MATC Payment Plan. Your classes will be held unless you take action to drop them before the first start date of the class

Cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover card are accepted. You may register in person at any of the four MATC campuses. Online registration is available to continuing students only, through myMATC / INFOnline.

If you have an approved financial aid award, your fees will be deferred until payments are authorized. If you haven't been awarded financial aid and you have registered for classes, review the Financial Aid Payment Options for eligibility criteria to defer tuition payment.

Estimated Payment Plan

These calculations will be made for you. The percentage of the refund is based on the start date of the class.

A $10 per-credit fee is included in College of the Air course fees. It is refundable if you withdraw before classes begin.

A charge of $8.00 is made for each official transcript of record; same-day (in-person) service is $15 for the first copy and $8.00 each for additional copies.

There is a $9.00 per semester nonrefundable Stormers Pass (Student ID) fee and a $7.00 per semester nonrefundable Student FastCare Healthcare for students enrolled in 1 credit or more.

There is a $5.00 per credit Transportation Surcharge that subsidizes transportation options for students.

There is a $40 returned check fee for any checks returned by a bank unpaid. Additional supplies/project fees may be charged for some courses.

Parking fees are $25.00 per semester and $15.00 for the summer session. At the Downtown Milwaukee Campus, qualified students can receive a reduced parking rate at MATC's parking facilities. At the Mequon, Oak Creek and West Allis campuses, ample parking is available for students taking day, evening and/or weekend classes.

Other fees will be charged for such services as the GED test, an advanced placement examination, etc. These fees are subject to change.

An Academic Support Center fee of $2.75 is charged per credit. A Graduation Assessment fee of $.55 is charged per credit. A Student Activity fee of $8.00 per credit is charged for most courses, the chief exception being Personal Enrichment courses. These fees are included in the total fee.

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.

The Adult High School Fee is determined by student fee and materials fee calculation per credit - the total tuition is approximately $6.15 - $12.15. 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.
