Tuition at Atlantic Cape is already one of the lowest in the state, but you could save even more by filling out the FAFSA. It's free to apply and could open the door to grants, work study, or low-interest loans. Be sure to pick Atlantic Cape as your college. Atlantic Cape Community College School Code: 002596
If you're already working or balancing other responsibilities, financial aid can make a big difference in keeping college affordable. You might even qualify for free tuition through New Jersey’s Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) if you meet the eligibility requirements. (Heads up: CCOG is only available during the Fall and Spring semesters.)
Full-time students in New Jersey are required by law to submit a doctor's certificate of immunization for measles, mumps and rubella. When submitting your immunization records, please be sure to include proof of your second measles vaccine to ensure that you can register for the next semester.
Find out which immunizations you're required to get as a student by visiting the immunization information on the page below.
View Required Immunization Information
Not a resident in Atlantic or Cape May counties? Attending community college as a non-resident requires you to file a chargeback form every semester or pay out-of-county rates. A chargeback authorizes Atlantic Cape to bill your home county in New Jersey for the out-of-county portion of the tuition. It is your responsibility to verify eligibility for a chargeback with your home county.
Forms are available from the local county treasurer's office or the Enrollment Services Office. Once completed, chargebacks are submitted to the Bursar's Office.
