Refund Policy - Credit Courses

If, after registering, you find that you are unable to attend classes for the semester, you must formally notify the Records office on Main Campus or the Monroe Campus Office in writing by the deadlines published in the college Academic Calendar or you must withdraw from the course(s) via MyNCC. Failure to formally notify either office or to withdraw via MyNCC may result in you owing money and/or receiving F grades.

Students who withdraw with the approval of the Records office prior to the beginning of a semester and the date specified in the Academic Calendar, will be entitled to a 100 percent refund (or adjustment) of tuition and fees charged, less the non-refundable admissions deposit and any amounts owed to the College for fines, returned checks and other charges and fees. In addition, a student who withdraws during the following specified periods will be entitled to the applicable refund (or adjustment) of tuition and fees, less the admissions deposit, student fees, and any amounts owed to the College per the schedule below.

No refund is given after the third week class.

Specified dates for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar. Failure to satisfactorily attend or complete a course or courses does not absolve a student from their financial obligation.

Refund percentages are applied to total eligible tuition and fees assessed and not the amount paid. This means that students who withdraw before paying their bill in full, may still owe a balance to the College after the withdrawal is processed.

Please note: Refund deadlines published in the academic calendar refer to standard session courses that run 15 weeks. Refund deadlines for courses with nonstandard start and end dates are based on equivalent meeting days and will differ from those published

NCC processes all refund disbursements through Higher One and the refund preference selected by the student through the NCC Plus Card program. Whether or not you choose to activate your NCC Plus Card debit card, you must use your card to complete your initial login and select your refund preference.

Refunds will only be paid to the student according to their refund preference except for a) contractual third party payments - refund payable to the third party named, and b) excess parent plus loan funds - refund payable to the parent named in the academic calendar. Refunds for amounts paid to NCC by check are not processed until 2 weeks after the payment was deposited.

Refunds for credit courses are not processed until 2 weeks after the add/drop period for the session has ended. If a student wishes to receive a refund prior to this date, refund must be requested by contacting the Bursar's Office.

Financial Obligation

Please note that a drop, withdrawal or failure to successfully attend and/or complete a course or courses does not absolve a student's financial responsibility for his/her educational expenses. The student is responsible for payment of charges outstanding after the drop or withdrawal is processed and charges are adjusted.

Special Note to Financial Aid Recipients: In accordance with federal and state guidelines, a drop or withdrawal may reduce a student's financial aid award. As a result, the student may owe a balance to the college. Any amounts owed after adjustment of the financial aid award is billed to the student. See Financial Obligations and Holds for more information on outstanding amounts owed to NCC.
