EXPENSES AND FINANCIAL AID
GENERAL INFORMATION
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is a
publicly supported institution. Tuition payments and other required student fees
meet only a part of the total cost of the education of students enrolled. On the
average, for each full-time student enrolled in an institution of the University
of North Carolina, the State of North Carolina appropriated $8,558 per year in
public funds to support the educational programs offered.
The University
reserves the right to increase or decrease all fees and charges as well as add
or delete items of expense without advance notice as circumstances, in the
judgment of the administration, may require.
Boarding and lodging fees are
based on the actual number of days school is in session and do not include
holidays, breaks, or any other University vacations.
Students’ property in
dormitories and other University buildings is at the sole risk of the owner, and
the University is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to such property
arising from any cause.
Students are required to pay for any loss or damage
to University property at replacement cost due to abuse, negligence, or
malicious action, in addition to being subject to disciplinary action.
The
University converted to a book purchase system effective fall semester, 1991.
All undergraduate and graduate students are required to purchase all textbooks.
This includes hard cover and paperback textbooks. The cost will vary according
to academic discipline. Other policies and procedures governing the book
purchase system can be obtained from the Bookstore.
Personal spending money
should be sent directly to and made payable to the student in the form of money
orders or certified checks. As a policy, the University does not cash personal
checks for students in any amount.
Diplomas and transcripts are withheld
until the student has paid in full all fees and charges due the University. A
student in debt to the University in any amount will not be permitted to
register for any subsequent semester until his or her obligations are paid. If
special financial arrangements have been made, failure to comply with these
arrangements as stipulated will result in the student being withdrawn from the
University for nonpayment of required fees.
