The Cost of Attendance (COA) budget at Nicolet College is an estimate of the student’s educational expenses for the academic year and is used to determine financial aid eligibility. The COA covers tuition, books, transportation, and basic living expenses.
Direct Costs (charges billed directly to you by Nicolet College) include tuition and fees. The tuition and fees portion of the COA is based on 30 credits or competency equivalents for the year. Your actual tuition and fees will increase/decrease based on the number of credits/competencies that you are enrolled in.
Indirect Cost estimates cover the costs not paid to Nicolet College such as books, supplies, rent, food, gasoline, etc. While the total cost may seem high, it includes basic living expenses you would incur whether you are attending Nicolet College or not.
Nicolet College is working hard to provide no cost or low-cost options in lieu of expensive textbooks. For more information on this exciting initiative, please contact the Nicolet College Bookstore at 715-365-4443.
