What tuition rate do you pay? To receive the in-district rate, you or your parent (if you are a dependent) will be required to document residency within the college's taxing district.

The burden of proof of eligibility for in-district tuition rests solely with the student. Presence within the taxing district for a minimum of the immediate past 12 consecutive months and proof of intent to make the taxing district a permanent home are the first criteria. Additional information for proving in-district residence is available in the Business Office in the Arts & Sciences Building.

On February 15, 2007, Mineral Area College Board of Trustees approved the following Fall 2007 tuition rate increases:
