Tuition & Costs

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimated total cost of attending an institution for one academic year. While this estimate is for one year (two semesters) we recommend you create a financial plan for the entire time it will take you to complete your degree. Note: Costs listed are based on two semesters of full time enrollment unless otherwise stated.

Direct Costs (Costs Payable to the Institution)

Includes only items payable directly to the school.

Undergraduate students who take fewer than 12 credits in a semester will be charged per credit ($1,265) rather than the flat full-time rate. Undergraduate students who overload (take more than 20 credits in a semester) will be charged at the per credit rate ($1,265) for each credit over 20.

Undergraduate students are required to live on campus their first two years unless granted a waiver by Admissions. For off-campus expenses for housing we estimate $12,470 per year and food expenses of $4,430 per year. If living off-campus with family, we estimate housing expenses at $2,200 per year and food expenses of $4,430 per year.

Indirect Costs (Includes Estimated Costs Paid to Others)

Includes estimated costs you may need to pay to others. The amounts of these expenses will vary from student to student.

We provide other fees for transparency below. Please note that students may or may not incur these fees on a bill as they are customized based on a student's choices at Wentworth.

Course Overload 

An overload is any number of semester credit hours over 20 credits. No more than 24 credits or a total of six courses will be allowed. A student will be assessed a per-credit tuition charge for each credit exceeding 20 credits in addition to the full-time tuition charge for that semester.  

Co-op

A Co-op is full-time, temporary employment in your field of study that enables you to apply classroom learning to professional work experience. Students enrolled in Co-op are not charged tuition for the Co-op semester. Students are charged health insurance because they are considered a full-time student during their Co-op semester. The health insurance charge can be waived. Waiver deadlines apply. Visit Health Insurance for more information.

Deposits

First year students pay a Tuition Deposit of $250 and a Housing Deposit of $250. Continuing students pay a Housing Deposit of $500. Deposits will be credited to your student account balance. Deposits are non-refundable. Visit the Admissions page regarding Tuition Deposits and the Housing page regarding Housing Deposits.

Food / Dining 

All students with a residential housing assignment must select a full or partial residential meal plan. All first-year residential students, and those residing in Evans Way Hall, Tudbury Hall and Baker Hall, are required to purchase the Silver, Gold, or Platinum Plan.

Declining balance points from meal plans carry over from semester to semester and expire at the end of the summer semester. This is at the discretion of Wentworth’s dining provider and is subject to change.

Visit Campus Dining for information.

Duplicate Diploma

Duplicate diplomas are available for all alumni who earned a certificate or degree from Wentworth. The cost for a duplicate diploma is $50.

Health Insurance

Health Insurance coverage is determined by the first semester of the academic year in which the student enrolls in nine or more credits, including Co-Op. See the Health Insurance page for more information on coverage, enrollment, and waivers.

Housing

All first year and second-year students are required to reside in Wentworth residence halls and select a meal plan.

Students residing in housing or who have signed a Wentworth housing agreement are not eligible to be exempt from the residency requirement for the period of that housing agreement. Visit Residential Life for more information.

Housing Agreement Release Fee

Housing agreements are binding for the full academic year (three semesters if in three-semester housing).   Students who withdraw from their housing agreement without a valid reason will be charged the Housing Agreement Release Fee as outlined in the Housing Withdrawal Policy. Visit Housing Agreements and Policies.

ID Replacement Fee

You may use the same ID card throughout your entire Wentworth career. Please protect your Fenway Card and always carry it with you. The cost of a replacement ID card is $25. Replacement cards can be obtained from the ID Office located in Beatty 014 which is open on Mondays and Wednesdays 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM and by appointment.

Indirect Costs

Indirect costs are paid by the student and include costs associated with books, supplies, travel expenses, personal expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses. Wentworth estimates families should budget approximately $2,000.00 per year for indirect costs.

Laptop Recovery Fee

Withdrawn students who do not return their laptops to DTS (Division of Technology Services) within thirty days of their withdrawal are charged a prorated fee to their student account. Students on a Co-op or a leave of absence are not considered permanently withdrawn. Visit the DTS website for more information.

Late Payment Fee

A $100 monthly late payment fee will be assessed to student account balances not paid in full, on a payment plan and/or having anticipated financial aid, or certified loan funds by the semester’s due dates. Appeals for the waiver of a late payment fee must be sent by the student’s Wentworth email address to studentaccounts@wit.edu during the semester the late payment fee was assessed. Waiver appeals are granted on a one-time only basis.

Library Fine 

Repair and/or replacement costs, in addition to a processing fee, if any part, or item, is lost, stolen, or damaged.  Items overdue by seven days will be considered lost and replacement charges will be assessed.   

Visit the Douglas D. Schumann Library website for user responsibilities, fines, fees and other information. 

Parking 

All students (including part-time, evening & weekend, commuter, and residents) who intend to park a motor vehicle on campus must properly register their vehicle and display the appropriate permit. Student parking permits are effective from the purchase date to the end of the academic school semester. A parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. Parking permits are issued by Wentworth Police at 610 Huntington Avenue. Purchase a Parking Pass (Wentworth Login required)

Payment Plan Enrollment Fee

Wentworth partners with Nelnet Campus Commerce to offer interest-free semester based monthly payment plans. Payment plans allow families to divide the student account balance over several monthly payments per semester. A nonrefundable $60 enrollment is charged for enrolling. Visit Monthly Payment Plans for more information.

Replacement Refund Fee

A Replacement Refund Fee will be assessed when refund checks need to be reissued. This applies to checks that need to be reissued because they were not cashed before the check expired, checks that were lost, checks that were sent to an outdated address, as well as checks that need to be replaced for any other reason.

Returned Payment Fee

A Returned Payment Fee will be automatically assessed to the student account if a payment is returned due to Wentworth by the bank due to insufficient funds or incorrect banking information.  Wentworth will not accept a personal check, including web checks, if there have been two (2) returned payments on a student's account.  

Technology Fee

The Technology Fee supports digital services such as internet access, e-mail, security, help services, software, computer labs, library resources, and wireless networks.
