Just wanted everyone to know that the total 9 credit cost has risen to a hearty $103.89. I've attached my student statement for reference.

Thanks for letting us know, I've removed the attachment as it has your full name and student number showing. It had just one extra charge, I guess that's the bump in pricing. Anyways, I thought there were more than 9 credits available using PCC, or was there some other class that can't be taken, like the Honors class or something. It's still a good deal for 9 credits, a bit over 11, almost 12 for a credit.

So I had to space the courses over two semesters (Summer and Spring - Some courses were waitlisted for the spring). Not sure if that had anything to do with it.
It let me enroll in Honors without permission. So it's 9 credits total, just like the Wiki states.

That's good, I should look into them for homeschoolers looking at dual credit options... I wonder if dual enrollment is available at PIMA and what classes are offered that are inexpensive.

Can you refresh our memory on what PCC is? The current search engine for the site doesn't let us search on three letters to find reference to it.

9 credits offered by Pima CC in Arizona for "free". Free meaning. $0 tuition but a couple of the courses have small fees.
9 regionally accredited graded credits for $103.89 ($11.54/credit) is a steal, esp if used towards the 30 RA requirement towards TESU
I took all 9 credits over 2 semesters and they're all easy A courses that took me a small amount of work

Thank you.
I didn't connect the PIMA name with PCC.
Has anyone transferred these in to TESU to see what they register them as? I know that TESU has a habit of not giving credits for development and student success style courses.

I was looking at Pima today and tuition for non-residents is significantly higher than $11.54 per credit. It's $234.50 per credit. I'm curious as to how the OP took classes for $11.54 per credit.
