- The 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 looking at the Cost of Attendance information. Remember if you are a full time student, you will divide the cost in half to get the cost for one semester. If you attend half day for two years, you will take the cost and divide by 4 to get the cost of one semester.
- Mileage to and from the Alva Campus.There will be 90 days of instruction in the Spring semester for all students except those in Practical Nursing. Practical Nursing students need to use estimates from Mrs. Williams if you are not on the Alva campus part of the semester.
- 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 2025 to calculate mileage which is currently $0.70 for 2025. So you would take # of days x miles per day round trip x 0.7 to get the amount you are submitting for mileage (if you choose to include mileage).
- Items you may consider including into the expenses section include daycare, rent, and any special clothing or equipment (but you must be able to provide proof of payment).
