The comprehensive fee for the 2021-2022 year is $75,600.00. This includes tuition, Carleton Student Association (CSA) 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. 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.

Student Account Payment Options
Carleton’s Billing Process is paperless. Statement notifications are sent each term to your Carleton student email address.
Online Payments
Proxy 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 student account. 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 checking account number (the set of numbers that follow the routing number) for an automatic payment.
