NWHSU does not require a bachelor’s degree for admission. However, some states do require a bachelor’s degree to practice chiropractic.
Nowhere. No campus or living-arrangement variation is published. NWHSU has one campus, and the cost content publishes a single indirect estimate with no second arrangement beside it.
The question was asked, so the absence is meaningful (R14): housing IS priced - Food & Housing
is a row of the indirect table, at $7,914 - it is simply published as one figure. The strings "On campus", "On-campus", "on-campus", "Off campus", "Off-campus", "off-campus", "with parents", "Commuter" and "commuter" each occur zero times on the page.
The one indirect estimate, headed Indirect Expenses - Moderate Estimate
/ "Cost": Loan Fees $304; Books, Materials, Supplies, & Equipment $1,000; Transportation $1,674; Personal Miscellaneous $5,632; Food & Housing $7,914. The table has no total row.
The column label names a level - "Moderate" - whose siblings are not published: Low Estimate
, High Estimate
and their lower-case forms occur zero times on the page. So a reader is told the estimate is the moderate one and is not shown what the others would be. The label is the college's own and is reproduced, not interpreted.
The lead-in describes the table as a comparison - Below, you'll find a cost comparison table that shows the cost of attendance for fees, books, supplies, and living expenses
- and one estimate column is what the page publishes.

How the figures are shown. published
One representative term beside a whole-program tuition total, plus a per-credit rate and the program's shape. The tuition table's header cell reads Effective Fall 2026
and the table publishes Tuition average per Trimester
$13,698, the Term 1-9 block rate $14,469 and the Term 10 rate $6,755 alongside Total Trimesters
10 and Total Credits
205.75. The indirect table is headed Estimated per-trimester cost of attendance for the 2026-2027 year
.
The catalog cuts it as a block-tuition table by college, with no term average.
MARKUP: the tuition table's header cell is <th colspan="2" class="column-1">Effective Fall 2026<strong></th> - an UNCLOSED <strong> before the closing tag, published as it stands.
Is a prior year shown beside the current one?
No prior-year figure is shown beside the current one. The tuition page carries Effective Fall 2026
and no earlier effective date; "Effective Fall 2025" and "Effective Fall 2024" occur zero times, and every "2025-2026" string on the page is a navigation link to the catalog platform rather than a cost figure.
The catalog platform does publish an archive, and the archive is reachable: its index separates "Current:" from "Archived:" and lists the 2025-2026, 2024-2025, 2023-2024 and earlier editions. The archived 2025-2026 Tuition and Fees page was opened and does carry that year's DC figures - Term 1-9 $14,048, Term 10 $6,558, per credit $655 - so a reader can reach the prior year in two documents, though no page sets the two years side by side.
One further part of this record is not carried here: it names a second college, and no field on a school page carries a statement about another college. It stands unchanged in the dataset and in this program’s directory entry.
textQualifier attached to the figures. published
Below, you'll find estimates for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and living expenses. Please note that your actual costs may vary from these estimates.
Location: the lead paragraph of the D.C. tuition page, above every figure on it.
Are board or licensure examination fees inside the published cost of attendance? published Yes, as an allowance category stated in the federal component language, carrying no figure and naming neither NBCE nor board exams.
Mechanism recorded: allowance
The DC tuition page is the document that names the federal construct. It heads a section Estimated per-trimester cost of attendance for the 2026-2027 year
and says the amounts rest on a nationally recognized survey for determining a university’s cost of attendance.
Under Additional Financial Aid Information
it introduces a list - Financial aid covers much more than tuition. Our scholarships, grants, and loans help you fully fund your student experience. Funds can be used to cover:
- whose last item is the mechanism: Allowance for one-time direct costs of obtaining a first professional license or certificate for students who are enrolled in a program that requires such professional licensure or certification.
TWO LIMITS ON THAT, both recorded. (a) It carries no figure. The allowance is a category of what aid may cover, not a line in a budget. (b) It names neither NBCE nor board exams; it says first professional license or certificate
.
The table on the same page that does carry figures - Indirect Expenses - Moderate Estimate
- has no board or licensure row: Loan Fees $304, Books, Materials, Supplies, & Equipment $1,000, Transportation $1,674, Personal Miscellaneous $5,632, Food & Housing $7,914. "NBCE", National Board
, "board exam", "Licensing Board" and "board fee" occur zero times on the page; the only Board Exams, Certification and Licensing
string is a navigation label.
DISCLOSURE PLACEMENT: both the allowance list and the whole-program tuition total sit inside collapsed accordions - class=collapse-body collapse
with aria-expanded="false" - so a reader meets neither until they expand a panel.
textThe program’s own rate table. published Recorded as: no
Mechanism recorded for that table: none shown
The 2026-2027 catalog's Tuition and Fees page carries the program tuition table. Its College of Chiropractic row reads Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
with Block Tuition
Term 1-9 $14,469 and Term 10 $6,755, Per Credit Tuition
$675, Lab Fees (per lab)
$50 and Student Activity Fee (per term)
$290. No board or licensure row; "NBCE", National Board
, "Board Exam", "Licensing Board" and cost of attendance
each occur zero times on that page, tested rather than assumed.
The same figures appear on the website tuition table, cut differently: Tuition average per Trimester
$13,698, Tuition Trimester: 1-9 Block Rate
$14,469, Tuition Trimester: 10
$6,755, *Per Credit Tuition
$675, Total Trimesters
10, Total Credits
205.75, then "Other Fees:" - Application Fee $50, University Fee (per trimester) $290, Lab Fee (per lab) $50. The catalog calls the per-term fee a Student Activity Fee
and the website calls it a University Fee
; both are $290. Recorded as each publishes it, not reconciled.
The two f1 columns AGREE here that no board figure is published, and disagree on whether a licensure allowance is disclosed at all: the website states one in words, the catalog table states nothing. Recorded because the agreement and the disagreement are facts of the same kind.
textPublished in the catalog, not on the tuition page. 2026-2027 catalog, Financial Policies: Tuition and fees are subject to change at any time. Generally, costs will be adjusted once a year to be in effect for fall, winter and summer terms of the entire academic year. New tuition and fee rates are announced in the summer prior to the beginning of the upcoming academic year.
The clause both reserves change at any time and states when change normally happens and when it is announced. Both halves are published and neither is summarised away.
The DC tuition page itself carries no adjustment clause: subject to change
and "reserves the right" occur zero times on it. What it says instead is Please note that your actual costs may vary from these estimates,
which is a statement about estimates, not about the college changing its rates.

ARTIFACT, recorded and not reproduced: the opening of that sentence cannot be quoted whole because the PDF text layer breaks the word "weighted" across a line as "w" + newline + "eighted", and collapsing whitespace would render "w eighted", which the page does not show. The clean remainder is quoted instead. The full sentence defines the measure as a weighted four-year average of graduates passing all Parts (I, II, III, IV) or becoming licensed, within six months.
