Additional Information
The costs listed in the Cost of Attendance (COA) chart reflect estimates for the average expenses for students in each category. The estimated cost for tuition and fees is based upon 15 credits during the 2023-2024 academic year (includes fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters). If you plan to enroll for more (or less) than 15 credits, adjust your tuition and book 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 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 the individual’s spending habits.
Students who enroll in one of the following programs below should anticipate additional costs related to the purchase of required supplies for the program and will exceed the average amount listed in the COA chart. The amounts listed in the chart below represent an average cost of supplies, materials, and equipment. Instructors of these programs will be able to provide students with a detailed list.
