Payment Plan
Terms and Conditions:

• Students wishing to enroll in the payment plan need to complete the enrollment process each semester; enrollment is not automatic. Summer semesters may be combined into one plan.
• Payment plan enrollment for mid-session and distance courses must be completed during the enrollment period for the regular session.
Enrollment in the Payment Plan is available to students in good financial standing with the college.  Decision to allow enrollment is at the discretion of the bursar's office.  Students who have defaulted on a payment plan in the past or have a negative credit history may not be permitted to enroll.
• The Payment Plan Enrollment Agreement does not supercede the balance due on the students' official student account record.  The student is always responsible for payment according to the balance due on the official student account record.  The payment plan budget calculation is subject to revision if necessary.
If the student account balance increases or decreases after payment plan enrollment, the monthly payment is adjusted and revised payment coupons provided.  NCC may require additional down payment for accounts that increase after enrollment.
• A student who drops or withdraws from NCC or does not attend classes will be responsible for payment of their account balance according to NCC policies and procedures.
• Financial Aid received after enrollment in the payment plan will adjust the payment schedule accordingly.  Balance not covered by financial aid is divided equally by the number of monthly payments remaining on the plan. Any credit balance on the account is refunded to the student by check and the account is closed.
• Financial aid does not replace the monthly payment due unless the account balance is zero. 
• Failure to receive a bill or coupons from NCC does not relieve student of the responsibility to make required payments by the due dates.  Payments are due on the 1st of each month.
• Monthly payments cannot be accepted at the bursar windows unless the account is being paid in full in advance (before October 15).  
• Method of payment:  Online credit card (through Spartan Net), Check or Money Order.  Note:  Credit card payments are only accepted online.
• Do not send a post-dated check.  Post-dated checks will not be held.  Post-dated checks returned by the bank will be subject to a Return Check Fee.
• If a scheduled payment is missed, NCC may cancel the payment plan and the entire account balance will become due and payable to NCC upon demand.  Classes may be dropped with no refund and student may not be eligible for the payment plan in a future semester.  Delinquent accounts are reported to a national credit bureau, a private collection agency and additional collection costs will be charged and become the responsibility of the student. College policy does not allow registration for future sessions or the receipt of transcript, grades or diploma until the account balance is paid in full.  Payment arrangements do not satisfy this requirement.
• By indicating a third party billpayer or credit card holder, the student authorizes Northampton Community College to release the student's account information to the named third party or credit card holder.
• Students paying through a recurring charge card authorization must request this method of payment at the time of enrollment. Cards will be charged on the 1st of each month for the payment amount due on that date. If billing amount changes after enrollment, the student and cardholder will be notified and the new monthly payment will be charged.  To request automatic credit card billing, complete the Credit Card Authorization and check the appropriate box on the enrollment form.
