Budget
The value of a quality, life-long education is never-ending. Harper College offers students advance, diverse educational programs at competitive, affordable rates.
An Estimated Budget (or Cost of Attendance) will help you prepare financially for the 2012-2013 academic year at Harper College. It includes specific education-related expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, and room and board.
If you need assistance, financial aid is available to help with your educational expenses. A similar budget (which may vary based on your enrollment) is used as a key component in determining your financial aid awards.
The Estimated Budgets below are based on in-district, full-time enrollment of twelve (12) or more credit hours covering the 9-month period during the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters. A prorated budget is applied for any enrollment less than full-time. A separate budget is used for the Summer 2013 term and is not included in these tables. Use the budget that reflects whether you live with your parents or off campus.
