2025-26 Academic Year Estimated Costs
The following charts are designed to help give the estimated cost of attending Alpena Community College in the 2025-26 academic year. Rates are subject to change. The figures are based on an average full-time course load of 30 contact hours over two semesters and estimated average costs for additional expenses. A student's actual cost of attendance may vary on a case-by-case basis for actual tuition and fees, books and supplies, and other tools and equipment necessary for the student's program of study. Students may also need to account for costs associated with child or family care. Costs only apply to periods of active enrollment; therefore, charges for the Summer session will be prorated to reflect the student’s actual enrollment dates. These are estimates given only to help in planning.
Your estimated cost can be found under “College Financing Plan” on Self-Service. If you feel the estimated costs are inaccurate, please write an explanation and provide documentation of how the calculation may be inaccurate, and send this to Alpena Community College, Financial Aid Office, 665 Johnson Street, Alpena, MI 49707.
