Additional Ways to Pay
Below are some additional ways students may utilize to help pay for college:
The cost of attendance is the total amount of money you are recommended to have to cover all of the items that it will cost you to go to school. Students who file the FAFSA are assigned a cost of attendance, and their total aid received through the Financial Aid Office cannot exceed their assigned cost of attendance. All items listed in the Cost of Attendance (COA) are considered to be good faith estimates and are subject to change.

Additional Information
The estimated cost for tuition and fees is based upon 15 credits during the 2025-2026 academic year (includes fall 2025 and spring 2026 semesters). If you plan to enroll for more (or less) than 15 credits, adjust your tuition and fee costs so that you will have a more accurate estimate of your expenses. The book allowance is based upon an average across all programs.
If you receive any federal financial aid, the total amount of financial aid assistance you receive from all sources (includes the Pell Grant, student and parent loans, work-study, scholarships, tuition benefits, athletic scholarships, etc.) cannot exceed your total cost of attendance (COA). If your total amount of financial aid assistance exceeds your COA, federal law requires NWCCD to reduce your financial aid to eliminate the overage. If you borrow federal direct student loans or receive a federal parent plus loan, a loan origination fee component will be included in your total cost of attendance.
The student’s actual costs for housing, food, personal expenses, and transportation will vary depending upon the options selected and individual spending habits.
The costs listed in the COA chart reflect estimates for the average expenses for students in each category. Students who enroll in one of the programs below should anticipate additional costs associated to the purchase of required supplies for the program and will exceed the average amount listed in the COA charts above. The amounts listed represent an average cost of course materials, supplies, and equipment. Instructors of these programs will be able to provide students with a detailed list.
