Payment Plan

Enrolling in a payment plan allows students to remain in classes while paying off their account balances in installments over the course of the semester.
Finalized (fully completed and in place) financial aid is subtracted from your account balance. Any remaining amount is your responsibility for paying in full or setting up a payment plan to remain in classes.
A $25 non-refundable fee is charged for enrolling in a payment plan.
Your remaining semester balance is divided into equal payments (either 4 payments or 3 payments). The $25 payment plan fee is added to the first payment when you enroll.
Payments will be due the first of the month. Balances remaining after the final payment deadline will be subject to a $40 late charge.
If you would like to start your payment plan you may contact Student Accounts at extension 1513 or 1508 for payment via credit card, or mail a check or money order to NCMC, ATTN: Student Accounts. You must indicate with your payment you are requesting a payment plan or your payment will not enroll you in the plan and hold your place in classes.
Any changes in your class schedule may alter your payment plan amounts.
If you have any further questions, please contact NCMC Student Accounts.

What You Must Do To Remain Eligible

In order to be certified to receive veteran's benefits, students must meet the following requirements:

b. The courses are designated in the college catalog as prerequisites to courses required in the program.

c. They are remedial or developmental courses prescribed by a counselor to make up educational deficiencies of a student.

d. They are prerequisite courses which a student has previously completed but in which he or she has not made as high a grade as is required to enter the next course.
