*Virginia Contract Students—This rate applies
to out-of-state students whose Virginia employer or federal agency
in Virginia has entered into a contractual relationship with NVCC.
Tuition is the same for credit and audit courses.
Types of Payment. Payment of tuition and fees
is due by the payment deadlines as stated on the Tuition and Fees
Web page at www.nvcc.edu/tuitionandfees or by calling the Tuition
and Fees Hotline at 703-323-3803. While the College reserves the
right to drop unpaid classes, drops for non-payment of tuition
and fees is no longer guaranteed. You are financially responsible
for all classes registered for and not subsequently dropped by
you or the College, whether or not you attend. (Note: You must
pay in full to reserve your course registrations.) You may pay
by any of the following methods:
FACTS Tuition Payment
Plan—To help meet students’ educational expenses, NVCC is providing the FACTS
Tuition Payment Plan. For a non-refundable fee ($35, $40 or $45 depending on
the number of payments selected), FACTS allows students to pay their tuition
in monthly (2-4 months), interest-free payments. The earlier students enroll
in the program, the more likely the lowest monthly payment option will be available.
For more information and to enroll in the program connect to the FACTS e-Cashier
Web site through the NVCC Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu/tuitionandfees/facts.htm.
FACTS brochures are also available at each campus Admissions and Records office.
Note: If you are using FACTS to pay your
tuition, enroll in FACTS first and wait until the
next business day to enroll in your classes or you may be
dropped for non-payment. For
the 2004 fall semester, students can begin enrolling
in FACTS online (http://www.nvcc.edu/tuitionandfees/facts.htm)
starting July 6.
Credit Card—Visa and MasterCard are accepted
over NovaConnect. Click on the “Make a Payment” button
on the Web page and follow the instructions for a credit card payment.
Be sure to print out a copy of your confirmation number to have
for future reference. The telephone NovaConnect system is also available
for credit card payments.
Check or Money Order—You may mail a check
or money order to a campus Business Office; include the student’s
name, EmplID number (NovaConnect ID), and telephone number. Addresses
for each campus are listed under “Campus
Map and Directory” in
this schedule.
Cash—Cash payments are accepted only in
person at the campus Business Office.
Financial Aid—To pay with approved financial
aid, you must have received an Official Financial Aid Award Letter
from the NVCC College Financial Aid Office. In the event your award
does not fully cover your tuition/fees, please complete payments
using NovaConnect or in person at a
campus Business Office.
Contract Payment—You must submit contract
documents to a campus Business Office. If your contract was mailed
or faxed by the authorizing agency, you must notify the campus Business
Office at the time you register to ensure the contract is applied
to your financial account. By using an agency or employer contract/authorization,
you agree to accept responsibility for the full amount of tuition
if the agency/employer does not pay within 30 days after invoice.
Please verify your registration and payment status by using NovaConnect.
You may also make separate or additional credit-card payments after
registration by using NovaConnect. We urge you to visit NovaConnect
on the Web at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/
to obtain your official course schedule. Students who have received
their financial aid award letters are encouraged to verify their
financial aid information on the College Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu.
In order to avoid financial responsibility,
you must drop a class within the deadline if
you decide not to attend. DO NOT assume you will be
dropped
automatically. |
REFUNDS
Tuition refunds are not automatic, except for courses canceled
by the College. If you wish to drop a course, you must either
use NovaConnect or complete a Registration and Tuition Worksheet
and submit it to a campus Admissions and Records Office in person,
by mail, or FAX. See campus FAX numbers listed in the front of
this schedule. However the Registration and Tuition Worksheet
is submitted, it must be received in the Admissions and
Records Office by the end of posted business hours on the last
published
drop date. If the drop form is received after that date, you
will not be eligible for a tuition refund.
The last date that you may drop a course and receive
a refund is indicated in the “Important
Dates” page in the Schedule of Classes or
in the College
Calendar at http://www.nvcc.edu/calendars/.
(ELI refund dates are included in the course information
sent to you.) If the College cancels a course or you drop a full
16-week semester course by September 5, 2004 (or within the first
15% of a shorter term course), you are eligible for a refund and
the
course will be deleted from your record. No refunds will
be made after the specified dates.
Only credit card payments made through the NovaConnect Web site
will receive an automatic refund to the credit card if a class
is dropped or cancelled. Credit card refunds will not be processed
at the campus Business Offices. All refunds for payments not made
on the Web are processed by the Virginia State Treasurer’s
Office after the published add/drop period and should be received
by mail within a few weeks of that date. Refund checks, except
those requested by students who presented employer contracts, will
be made payable to the student.
As provided by federal regulation, if you receive Title IV (federal
student aid) financial aid and you withdraw from all your courses
within 60% of the enrollment period, you are subject to having
a portion of your financial aid returned to the program based
on the date of your withdrawal. Such refunds are credited to
the student
aid programs from which you received aid. These policies are
available from the College Financial Aid and Business Offices.
