Additional Costs

Books, Course Materials, and Supplies

You will need course materials for your selected classes that you take while attending NJC.  These course materials may be required, recommended, or optional. You may have course material fees that are included in the cost of your class (inclusive access) or you may use Open Educational Resources (which generally have no/low cost).  Please note that every student has a very different total amount needed for course materials.  These ranges vary: from semester to semester, depending upon your area of study, due to the number of credits that you are taking, depending on whether you are taking an on-campus class versus an online one, etc. 

Other costs that you might incur for other supplies that may be required for your classes are:  calculators, notes packs, goggles, supplies kits, scrubs, etc. 

The average costs of course materials, textbooks, and supplies to attend NJC for a school year is dependent on your class schedule.  No two students will have the same cost for course materials in any given semester.  To find out your actual cost of your course materials please click on this link: https://bncvirtual.com/njc  You can enter your schedule and view the materials that you will need, complete with all current costs for print new/used, digital, rental, inclusive access, OER, etc. On average an estimate of our course materials per school year is $580.00 - $1,100.00, this includes out-of-pocket textbook expenses as well as the Digital Course Fee assessed by the State for inclusive access classes.  Please remember that this range is an estimate, and your actual course material costs may be more or less for a school year.
