• Full-time tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $16,637.
• Part-time tuition, 2024-25: $525 per credit hour, before other applicable charges.

Net price is an average cost after grant aid, not a tuition quote; it can include living expenses and other costs of attendance. That is why an income-group net price can exceed tuition and fees. The college does not provide undergraduate housing, so an individual budget must also account for privately arranged housing, food, transportation, books and personal expenses as applicable. In the 2024-25 aid figures, 93% of students received financial aid and 38% had student loans. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, other applicable grants, and military education benefits, but their own aid offer - not the institutional average - determines what they would need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Centura College-Chesapeake?

Students should distinguish a paid job from financial aid or a career placement when planning how to cover Centura College-Chesapeake's costs. Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, is earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

An applicant interested in student employment should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available for their program and award year, how positions are posted, and whether hours can fit the class schedule. An ordinary off-campus part-time job does not require a Work-Study award. Any employer introductions or job-search assistance should likewise be evaluated separately from a promise of employment.
