Tuition and Fees

The tuition is set by the South Dakota Board of Technical Education. There is no difference between resident and non-resident tuition. There is also no difference between face-to-face and online tuition. For current tuition and fee information, request a copy of the current cost sheet from the Admissions office.

Tuition Deposit

Tuition deposits will be required once a program is full. The tuition deposit is $150 for all full programs. This is a tuition deposit and will be applied to the student’s tuition the first semester of classes. In the event a student opts not to attend, the tuition deposit is non-refundable.

Additional Expenses

Students are required to purchase designated books, supplies, tools and uniforms as assigned by the instructor in each course. Most programs specify tools and/or uniforms that are characteristic of the occupation for which the student is enrolled.  Students should purchase required books through the online bookstore. Students may purchase tools from a separate online vendor.  Supplies, school theme items and gift certificates are available in The Campus Store located in the Campus Center.

Students who enroll need to prepare for some initial expenses at the start of the term. Please budget accordingly when making your school plans.

Laptop Expense

Mitchell Tech programs require a laptop computer so that students can effectively integrate computing skills with their technical education. Many resources that instructors assign are online or require specialty software. To address these needs, Mitchell Tech requires students entering a laptop program to purchase their laptops from Mitchell Tech. Please note that our machines come fully loaded with the required software.

Mitchell Tech laptops are serviced under warranty by our Technology Help Desk.

Laptop Return Policy

Laptops purchased from Mitchell Technical College may not be returned unless the student drops from a program within the first ten days of enrollment. Students who drop within the first ten days (official drop/add period) may return the laptop for a full refund. No refunds on laptops will be made after that date. No laptop will be accepted for return until its condition is approved by the Mitchell Tech IT Department.
