Cost and Program Commitment

College Now cost breakdown

$250 per semester
$500 per year
$1,000 total for two years

This flat fee covers college coursework, support services, textbooks and program materials.

It is important to us that College Now remains accessible to all eligible students. Families who may need financial assistance are encouraged to reach out to discuss available options. Our goal is to ensure that cost is not a barrier for any student who is ready to take on this exciting academic opportunity.

Commitment expectations

College Now is a two-year commitment from the start of junior year through high school graduation. Participation requires academic planning, course registration, and full engagement in the program.

Withdrawal policy

Withdrawals are strongly discouraged. Requests will only be considered in cases of serious medical, personal, or family circumstances and must be approved by both the high school district and Harper College.

The program fee of $250 per semester is required regardless of whether a student completes the full semester. If a student withdraws after the semester has begun, the payment for that semester will still be due.
