Online course fees   For most online classes, students are required to pay a Distance Learning support (UD) fee.   Some primarily online classes may require a computer lab (CL) fee if some on-campus classroom sessions meet and use a computer lab room.  For lab science classes there is a combined e-Learning fee and lab fee (FN) required.

Videocassette fees and options  Depending on the specific course Video-media for distance learning classes may be viewed for free in the campus library, rented for the quarter in VHS format or purchased from the bookstore in DVD format.  Students may also have the option to videostream this media online with a broadband connection. 

Rental sets should be ordered in advance by calling (206) 527-3611 and must be returned at the end of the quarter (Late return fees or lost tape fees will be applied).  For more information about Media rental procedures please go to the North Seattle
Library borrowing policies and procedures.

Other fees  Online courses using specific distance learning resources have special fees instead such as the licensing (KF) fee when Academic Systems software is utilized. 

The access (KI) fee applies for an online class requiring access to an online textbook.
Please note: by purchase of the e-book a student is granted the rights to one and only one copy, which can be read on-line, downloaded to one computer, captured on one CD, or printed onetime. The computer labs at NSCC allow students to print up to 300 pages. 

Wireless connection: If you are a current student at North with Net ID and you have a computer with a wireless connection you will be able to connect to the internet on campus for free. For more information about Wireless connection please go to https://netid.northseattle.edu/wireless.php#1
