Arkansas Code Title 6. Education § 6-53-304. Student tuition--Fees

(a) The intent of this chapter is to make technical and community college programs available to as many citizens of Arkansas as possible. To this end, tuition and fees should be maintained at a reasonable level so as not to exclude citizens because of cost.

(b) The local board shall determine the minimum student tuition and fees to be charged by institutions within the Arkansas Technical and Community College system.

(c) The local board shall set both in-district and out-of-district student tuition and fees for each institution within its service area. Students residing outside a community college district may be subject to extra tuition and fees.
