General tuition and fee rates are set by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees each year. Having one of the lowest college tuition rates in the state, NHCC works hard to keep your education affordable!
Tuition & Payment Information
A standard estimated cost of attendance (COA) is used to determine financial need. All budget items shown are for nine month full time attendance (tuition/fees reflect 15 credit on campus enrollment). Students attending less than full-time are eligible for financial aid; however, the cost of attendance, family contributions and maximum awards are adjusted to reflect less than full-time attendance.
