1All diploma program students, with the exception of Vocational Nursing, must pay a $20 nonrefundable application fee upon enrollment. Vocational Nursing students and all Associate degree program students must pay a $60 nonrefundable application fee upon enrollment. The following scenarios require that students pay a new, non-refundable application fee: students that have withdrawn from a program and been away from school for more than 180 days and would like to continue in the same program, students that have withdrawn from one program and would like to enroll in a different program, and students that transfer to a different ACC campus. 

2Fees vary by program and include items such as customized uniforms, classroom consumables, administrative and technology fees. Fees also cover campus safety resources supporting training activities, acquisition and maintenance of security systems including but not limited to security cameras, access control and emergency broadcast systems. For clinical and degree programs, it also includes fees associated with health and background screenings, test preparation, examinations, licensure and certification.

3Includes books, laptop computer, digital or electronic course materials, and other supplies for which students have the right to opt out and purchase from other sources. ACC is able to offer these books and supplies, including digital or electronic course materials to students below competitive market rates. Opting out does not require the school to provide you with an alternative delivery method and you will be responsible for obtaining all required course materials. Students that choose to obtain or purchase books and supplies from other sources must do so by the 7th day of class. If the course material is not available from any other source but the institution, students will not be able to opt out of those required books and supplies.

4Effective April 1, 2024, we will start collecting the Student Tuition Recovery Fund at the rate of zero dollars ($0.00) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges for students with a first payment scheduled after April 1, 2024.

5Estimated total charges for the entire educational program does not include transportation costs to and from externship or clinical sites. This cost is the student’s responsibility. 

 

Cost of Attendance

The purpose of the Cost of Attendance (COA) is to provide students and families with an estimated cost to attend American Career College. The COA includes both direct and indirect cost estimates. Direct costs are paid directly to American Career College and are listed in the table above.  Indirect costs are not paid to American Career College and are estimates students may use to budget expenses they may incur while attending school. While actual indirect costs may vary, American Career College estimates these amounts based on the number of months in an academic year and whether students will live with parents or off campus.  The tables below list an estimate of indirect costs for each program.
