Your tuition deposit is $10,000. The $10,000 will go directly towards the tuition cost of your program until it has all been spent. This often covers most of your first term costs.
How to pay your deposit and college fees
Your deposit, campus housing fees, and many other payable fees are tracked in your CNC account and are payable through the PayMyTuition service.
Program Costs
Tuition costs for each program can be found on the individual program pages. If you’re looking for a quick summary, you can check out our 2026-2027 CNC International Student Fees.

Payment Plans
Opens December 8, 2025
If you can’t pay your tuition fees up front, CNC offers payment plans to help you pay in smaller installments. All payment plan applications need to be completed via your CNC Connect account which you can access here.
Plan Applications
Fee payment deadline: If you haven’t paid your fees or set up a payment plan by the deadline (see below), you will be deregistered from your classes.
Apply for your payment plan at least a week before the deadline.
New Students
New students who are beginning their first semester are not eligible for a payment plan. Your tuition deposit will cover most, if not all, of your first semester fees.
Before Applying
Please do not use mobile devices to apply. After submitting an application you will receive a confirmation email, this may appear in your junk folder.
Apply for a payment plan
- Register for your classes
- Apply for a Payment Plan via CNC Connect (Choose Make a Payment, and it will redirect you to Pay My Tuition. If you are eligible for a payment plan, a payment plan option will appear next to the Payment button). There is a mandatory $35 fee to enroll in a payment plan.
- PayMyTuition will calculate your installments based on the amount of tuition you need to pay.
- Your installments will be scheduled using the default card that was used to pay your payment plan enrollment fee/down payment. If you do not want to use this method of payment, please update your information on your profile.
- Pay your down payment as soon as possible. The quickest method of payment to reach your account is through PayMyTuition using debit card or credit card. If you pay by Bill Payment/EMT, it could take up to 5 business days for funds to reach your account. Please allow enough time for your payment to be received by the College. You can check your account status any time through CNC Connect and then PayMyTuition.
Note: Payment plan applications will be denied if:
- We have sent your account to collections before
- You have a history of late/incomplete payments
