2011-2012
The comprehensive fee for the 2011-2012 year is $54,180. This includes tuition, student activity fee, room and board. The comprehensive fee does not include art and music fees. The tuition charged to students represents only two-thirds of the educational costs per student for 2011-2012. The other one-third is funded by income from our endowment, which has been built by the gifts of former generations and the annual fund which is supported each year by our alumni and parents. The combination of these sources creates a balanced budget with continuing growth in our academic programs.
| 2011-2012 Tuition | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition | $42,690 |
| Student Activity Fee | $252 |
| Room | $5,904 |
| 20 Meal Plan (full board) | $5,334 |
| Total | $54,180 |

Student Account Payment Options
Online Payments:
Parent Guest/Access to the HUB allows students to set up guest accounts for parents, guardians, or other guests.
Online payment is the preferred form of payment. Payments can be made electronically through the Hub, a secure student payment portal that confirms the balance due on the students tuition/miscellaneous accounts. Students are able to enter their US domestic bank routing number (the 9-digit number in the lower left corner of a personal check) and account number (the set of numbers that follow the routing number) for an automatic payment.
Check Payments:
Mail check payments to the address listed below. Please include the student's ID# and/or full name on the check.

Students who wish to apply all or some of their campus employment earnings to their tuition account should complete the Student Payroll Tuition Payment Authorization online form.
Late Fees
Students are responsible for making sure that their tuition account is paid on time. Please arrange for payment in a timely manner to avoid a $35 late fee. The majority of our students receive ongoing support from their families during their academic career at Carleton and we encourage our students to share this information with them. Forwarding your tuition statements to them may be very helpful.
Enrollment Deposit
Note that the $300 enrollment deposit, which you have already paid, is separate from the annual comprehensive fee.
