Cost of Attendance

Academic Year 2024-2025

These figures include direct costs like tuition, room, and board/meal plan, and indirect costs such as travel expenses, books, and personal expenses. The amount will vary depending on whether students live on campus or commute from home.

At the discretion of the Institute, tuition and fees are subject to change at any time.

  • Undergraduate Students

    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.

    Tuition$41,984
    Average Housing (All Rates)$15,214
    Food Plan Rates  (All Rates)$4,740-$6,510*
    Technology Fee$600
    Comprehensive Fee$300
    Per credit rate - full time UG$1,315
    Per credit rate - part time program students$595

    *We use the highest meal plan rate for calculating the Cost of Attendance.

    Undergraduate students who take fewer than 12 credits in a semester will be charged per credit ($1,315) 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 ($1,315) for each credit over 20.

    Undergraduate students are required to live on campus their first two years unless granted a waiver by the Housing and Accessibility offices. For off-campus expenses for housing we estimate $15,214 per year and food expenses of $6,510 per year. If living off-campus with family, we estimate housing expenses at $2,200 per year and food expenses of $6,510 per year.

    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 & Down Payments

    Students starting their studies at Wentworth pay a Tuition Deposit of $250 and a Housing Down Payment of $250. Continuing students pay a Housing Down Payment 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 Down Payments.

    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.

    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

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.
