Academic Year 2023 - 2024

Anytime you can receive a quality education at an affordable price, you know you need to take a serious look. Not only is Colorado Northwestern Community College inexpensive to begin with, but you can also receive various types of financial aid, like 85% of our full-time students do. If costs are to be covered by an outside agency please have agency submit a Third Party payment agreement.

Tuition and fees are subject to change by the State Legislature and Governing Board without notice. Some courses have extra charges. See the Course Schedule for more information about these classes. Tuition is based upon residency. Definitions of residency status can be found on the Residency Status at CNCC page. Please be sure to read the Student Payment Agreement (English) (Spanish) as well.

It is ultimately the student’s responsibility to officially drop or withdraw from a course through the Admissions and Records Office. Failure to do so may impact a student’s grade, official transcript, and College financial aid. Be sure to read the Student Payment Agreement and the tuition and fees policy in the Course Catalog.

Tuition and fees will not be refunded in the event the curriculum delivery format changes for any part of the 2023-24 academic year.
