Aviation Flight Fees

You must have the fee covered before you are cleared to fly. The college considers the fee “paid” if you have one of the following:

• Paid the full amount yourself
• Provided proof that financial aid will cover the full cost
• Received confirmation from a third party, such as an agency, employer, or sponsor, that they will pay
• Used a combination of these options

Each course fee covers a set amount of training. For example, AVS103 covers 55 hours. If you need more training than the course includes, you must:

1. Contact the flight center directly.
2. Arrange and pay for the additional training.
3. Find funding for any extra hours beyond the course fee.

If you drop the course or leave the program, your refund will follow the policy that applies to your situation, such as:

• North Shore Community College’s refund policy
• Veterans Administration rules
• Your financial aid award or funding agreement

The flight center’s cancellation and no-show rules also apply.  

You have one year from enrollment to complete a flight-training course. If you do not finish within one year:

• You receive an F for the course.
• You must re-enroll to finish the requirements.
• Any remaining balance may be refunded to you or your lender, depending on the circumstances.
• You must secure new funding for the flight fees when repeating the course.

Students must attend an orientation session before registering for courses in the program. The orientation includes detailed information about:

• Flight-fee costs
• Financial aid
• Payment options
• Program requirements
• Registration procedures

Before registering, make sure you know:

• Which aviation course you need
• Whether it is offered in the fall or spring
• The full flight fee
• How much regular tuition and college fees will cost separately
• Whether financial aid or another sponsor will cover the fee
• What happens if you need extra flight hours
• The cancellation and no-show rules
• How you will complete the course within one year

These flight fees don’t include regular tuition and other college charges.
