Student Success -- How to Pay
Tuition and Fees
Tuition depends on the number of credits you take each semester; however, there are other costs that should be factored into your estimated total expenses. To best calculate this amount and see the current tuition costs see the Tuition Estimator.
Financial Aid

SCHOLARSHIPS are funds that do not have to be repaid. Scholarships are based primarily on academic achievement and may or may not be based on need. Outside/private scholarships have deadlines established each academic year.
GRANTS offered at North Central are funds that do not have to be repaid. They are primarily based on demonstrated need and are developed for students who do not possess a bachelor’s degree. Students apply using the FAFSA.
- Federal Pell Grants

Student employment and student loans are also another resource of financial aid. Students must complete the FAFSA in order to be considered for Federal or State work or loans.
Semester Registration and Payment Dates
Registration and Payment dates change each year so it is important to view the dates to make sure they are completed on time. Both dates for the coming semesters can be found here. For Refund Policy and Dates or information regarding the Automatic Payment Plan follow the links.
Residency
North Central recognizes three separate residency groupings for purposes of levying tuition rates: In-District (Emmet County residents), In-State (Michigan residents who live outside of Emmet County) and Out-of-State (residents of other states). For residency determination, a student must have resided within the State of Michigan or in Emmet County for at least six months immediately prior to the first day of classes of the semester in which he/she plans to enroll.
