The Treasurer’s Office at North Carolina A&T State University provides students and families with information about tuition rates, required fees, payment options, and related account information. For the 2026–2027 academic year, in-state tuition and required fees at N.C. A&T remain well below the national average for public four-year universities. This page outlines current rates, tuition due dates, and related account information to help students and families plan for educational expenses.

Tuition Factors

Tuition and required fees are assessed each semester based on several factors, including:
  • Program Type: Main Campus or Distance Learning  
  • Level: Undergraduate, Graduate, or Other  
  • Residency: North Carolina resident or nonresident  
  • Credit Hours: Number of enrolled credit hours  
  • Academic Program: Additional tuition differentials and fees may apply to certain programs and courses  
  • Academic Year/Cohort: Fixed tuition eligibility and applicable rate structures  

Tuition and required fees are assessed based on the student’s academic program designation and associated campus type within the University’s student information system. Enrollment in online or distance learning courses alone does not automatically change a student from a Main Campus billing structure to a Distance Learning billing structure. Certain undergraduate tuition rates may also be impacted by the UNC System Fixed Tuition Program based on the student’ entering academic year.

FAQs

Student tuition and fees are billed each semester and based on several factors including: 
  • Program Type: Main Campus or Distance Learning  
  • Level: Undergraduate, Graduate, or Other  
  • Residency: North Carolina resident or nonresident  
  • Credit Hours: Number of enrolled credit hours  
  • Academic Program: Additional tuition differentials and fees may apply to certain programs and courses  
  • Academic Year/Cohort: Fixed tuition eligibility and applicable rate structures 
Full Time Status
Tuition and Fee charges are billed each semester. Twelve or more credit hours are considered full-time for undergraduate students and nine or more credit hours are considered full-time for graduate students. Enrollment in online or distance learning courses alone does not automatically change a student from a Main Campus billing structure to a Distance Learning billing structure. 

Tuition and fee rates are proposed by the University and reviewed and approved by the UNC System Board of Governors. Tuition and fees help support instructional programs, student services, campus operations, technology resources, facility maintenance, public safety, and other educational and operational needs of the University.

Students’ Residency Status will be determined through the Residency Determination Service (RDS) at www.NCResidency.org. Students will be charged based on their residency status at the time that their bill is generated. Submission and approval of residency status changes will need to be received and processed before a student’s bill is subsequently updated.

Students are generally considered officially enrolled once they have registered for classes and satisfied their financial obligations to the University. Tuition and fees must either be paid in full or covered by sufficient authorized financial aid, scholarships, sponsorships, or other approved funding sources.

Students with a zero balance, or with anticipated aid sufficient to cover the balance, will not be subject to class cancellation for nonpayment and should continue to have access to their registered courses and University systems, subject to normal system processing timelines.

Optimize Your Credit Balance >

No. Outstanding balances from prior terms must be satisfied before registration for a future term will be permitted. A registration hold may remain on the student account until the balance has been paid in full or otherwise resolved with the University.

Past Due Account Information >

Completion of the Title IV Form is recommended for all students. 

Federal regulations require student authorization before certain financial aid funds may be applied toward eligible noninstitutional charges.

  • Educational Supplies 

Title IV Authorization Agreement > 

Tuition and fees for online programs may differ from traditional main campus programs because certain campus based services and fees are not applicable to distance education. Online program fees help support the technology, infrastructure, student support services, and remote learning resources necessary to deliver online instruction and maintain access to University systems and services.

Under the UNC System Fixed Tuition Program, eligible in-state undergraduate students are assigned a tuition rate based on their entering academic year cohort. This tuition rate generally remains fixed for up to eight consecutive semesters of continuous enrollment, excluding summer sessions. Certain approved five-year programs may qualify for up to ten consecutive semesters.

Graduate programs, summer session tuition, and distance education or online program tuition rates are not cohort based and are not governed by the Fixed Tuition Program. Tuition and fee rates for those programs may change based on approvals by the UNC System Board of Governors.

Fixed Tuition Program Details >

Tuition and mandatory fees are assessed based on the student’s academic program designation and approved tuition model, not solely the instructional format of individual courses during a term. Students enrolled in Main Campus programs may still be assessed Main Campus tuition and fees even if some or all courses are offered online or in a distance learning format.

Distance Learning tuition and fee structures apply to students formally enrolled in approved Distance Learning programs.

Offset college costs

There are several options available to help students satisfy their account balance. In addition to convenient direct payment methods, students may also utilizefinancial aid, outside scholarships, 529 college savings plans, third party sponsorships, and other approved resources to help offset the cost of attendance.
