Tuition for MI students

  • State of MI Funding (PSEO)  Students attending a MI public or private high school pay $0 for a dual credit course through state of MI funding. Summer term and REL courses do not qualify for state funding. Concordia completes the state forms for payment. The student pays tuition if the course is failed or dropped.
  • Homeschool students in MI qualify for the reduced Concordia Promise tuition rate of $50 per credit. That's only $150 for a typical 3-credit class. The Promise rate can be used for a maximum of 36 credits.
  • Audit: Dual credit students who wish to audit an on-campus class (no grade, no credit) will pay an audit fee of $75 per credit to participate in the class. Online courses cannot be audited.
