Student Expenses

What to expect

Estimate of Student Expenses at Northeast

Although expenses vary greatly depending on your individual situation, program of study, and spending habits, the following budgets give estimated costs for two semesters (30 credit hours).  These estimates are used only to award aid and include the average number of credits taken by our students in an academic year.

Your budget may be increased due to required tool costs, additional travel, childcare costs, and non-resident tuition.  Books, room and board, and personal expenses are estimates; actual costs vary for each student.

Paying Your Bill

All costs are paid a semester at a time.  The Business Office does not mail account statements. You will need to review your statement of account on your My Northeast account.  Students approved for financial aid will see authorized aid on their Account Detail for Term section on their My Northeast account.  If the authorized aid equals or exceeds tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board charges, you will not be required to make a payment at that time.  If tuition, fees, and room and board charges exceed the amount of any authorized aid, the balance is due immediately and payable no later than the first day of the semester.  Balances may be paid online on My Northeast or by check and/or credit card.

You are liable for the full semester’s tuition and fees.  If you officially withdraw from a class or classes sometime during the first nine weeks of the semester, a percentage of the tuition paid will be refunded.  Students on financial aid who withdraw or quit attending prior to completing 60% of the term will be required to return a portion of the aid they received to federal sources.  (See “Return of Title IV Financial Aid Funds”)  If leaving college, you must officially withdraw by completing a withdrawal form provided by the Registrar’s Office.
