Lane Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lane Community College?

Lane Community College's published 2024-25 full-time undergraduate figures list in-state tuition of $5,202 and required fees of $1,000, for $6,202 in tuition and required fees. The corresponding out-of-state figures are $12,078 in tuition and $1,000 in required fees, totaling $11,869. These are published charges, not an individual financial aid estimate.

• 2025-26 in-state full-time tuition and required fees: $6,202.
• 2025-26 out-of-state full-time tuition and required fees: $11,869.
• 2025-26 reported part-time tuition rate: $145 per credit for in-state students or $336 per credit for out-of-state students, before applicable fees.

A full cost-of-attendance budget also includes items such as books and supplies, housing and food, transportation, and personal expenses. Those amounts vary substantially between a student living with family, one renting in Eugene, and one using student housing. Applicants should use Lane's current tuition schedule and financial aid cost-of-attendance budget for the academic year in which they will enroll, rather than adding expenses from different years to the figures above.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. Reported 2024-25 aid figures show that 73% of students received financial aid and 17% had student loans; those percentages do not describe the amount any one applicant will receive. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants, Oregon aid, scholarships, and federal loans after completing the relevant aid applications and meeting program rules. The net price for a particular student depends on their eligibility and living arrangements, not just the posted tuition.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lane Community College?

Lane Community College offers career-planning support and opportunities to explore student employment. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid offer, is a way to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), review their aid offer, and follow Lane's instructions for finding and applying to eligible positions. A Work-Study award establishes an earnings limit, not a guaranteed job or paycheck. Ordinary campus or community part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules and do not require a Work-Study award.

Lane also makes individual and group career counseling available to undergraduates and offers support related to job placement and employer recruitment. Students can use career advising to explore occupations and connect coursework with job goals. An internship, a paid student job, and a career-services appointment serve different purposes; Lane does not require an internship of every student.
