Cost of Attendance
2025-26 undergraduate cost of attendance
When considering the financial cost of attending college, one number doesn't tell the whole story. Cost of Attendance (CoA) provides a more complete picture of total direct and indirect costs of one academic year at North Central College. Direct costs are expenses that will be included on your semester bill, such as tuition, fees, housing, and food. Indirect costs are expenses that won't show up on your bill but should be considered. Examples of indirect costs include books, classroom supplies, traveling, and personal expenses. Note that CoA is only an estimated number and will change based upon your specific lifestyle and living arrangements.
