Contra Costa Community College District offers The "First Time + Full Time = Free Tuition" (FT3) program offers free tuition for all eligible students. Students who qualify may receive free tuition for their first two academic years of college (fall and spring terms only).

 

Here's how it works:

 

Your award will be applied to your account after the end of each academic term (fall and spring terms only) and your tuition fees will be reimbursed.

Once you have successfully completed your first term as an FT3 student, you will be automatically enrolled  for following term. As long as you meet the above requirements each term, you will remain an FT3 student and receive free tuition through the end of your second academic year.

 

DVC offers a First Year Experience Program (FYE) for first-time college students. The program consists of 5 learning communities.
