- Amount of tuition and fees for your program which is dependent on full time or part time status. Tuition and fees is listed on the NWTC website at https://nwtech.edu/student-services/financial-aid-tuition/ or by looking at individual program or career option pages which you can get to from https://nwtech.edu/classes/career-programs/alva-campus-full-time-programs/. Except for Practical Nursing, Tuition is currently $2.00 per hour for in-district adult students and $4.00 per hour for out-of-district adult students. There are 89 days of instruction in the Spring 2024 semester. Fees are $0.50 per hour.
- Mileage to and from the Alva Campus.There will be 89 days of instruction in the Spring 2024 semester for all students except those in Practical Nursing. Practical Nursing students need to use estimates from Mrs. Williams.
- The NWTC Alva Campus calendar is available at https://nwtech.edu/about-nwtc/calendars/.
- You will have to calculate the number of miles you drive from home to the Alva Campus (1801 11th Street, Alva, OK) if you wish to submit mileage. Remember that is doubled if you drive to and from within a day. It is easiest to use Mapquest – https://www.mapquest.com/directions – to calculate this and then it is verified and not an estimate.
- You will use the IRS Standard Mileage Rates for 2024 to calculate mileage which is currently $0.67 for 2024. So you would take # of days x miles per day round trip x 0.67 to get the amount you are submitting for mileage (if you choose to include mileage).
