Tuition is the same for credit and audit courses.
Tuition Deadlines. If you enroll between November 15 and December
15, payment for all classes is due December 15, 2004, by 5:00PM.
Beginning December 16, 2004, and thereafter, payment for all
classes is due the day of enrollment or your classes will be
dropped! Payment by credit card using
NovaConnect is due by midnight on the day on which you enroll. Other forms
of payment (check and cash) must be received no later 5:00PM
EST or the close of
business on days with extended hours at a campus Business Office on the day
you enroll. You may enroll and pay at different times during
the day, but payment
must be received the same day you enroll for your class to be protected.
Check the College Web site or call the Tuition and Fees Hotline
(703-323-3803) for Business Office hours at each campus.
If you have sufficient approved or anticipated financial aid
or a current tuition assistance agreement (third-party contract),
your classes will be
protected.
If anticipated financial aid or your contract is not sufficient to pay
all tuition and fees, you must pay the difference by the due
date above or NovaConnect
will
drop you from classes.
To maintain control of your schedule, you must:
(1) Pay for all enrolled classes; or
(2) Drop any classes you do not intend to pay for or attend by
the deadline; or
(3) Verify sufficient anticipated financial aid or tuition assistance
exists to cover all of your enrollments.
Use NovaConnect to verify your enrollments and payments (allow
up to 48 hours for all payments to be posted on NovaConnect).
If you need help paying tuition and fees, consider using the FACTS
Tuition Payment Plan or applying for financial aid.
Types of Payment. You may pay by any of the
following methods:
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 or to enroll online go to http://www.nvcc.edu/tuitionandfees/facts.htm.
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.
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—Mailed payments must
be received by a campus Business Office no later than December
15, 2004. You may mail a check or money order to a campus Business
Office; include the student’s name, EmplID number (NovaConnect
ID), and the telephone number of the account’s owner. 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 Notification
Letter from the NVCC College Financial Aid Office. Awards may also
be viewed via NovaConnect Web. In the event your award does not
fully cover your tuition/fees, please complete payments using FACTS,
NovaConnect, or in person at a campus Business Office.
Contract Payment—(Third-party Contract)—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 cancelled
by the College. If you wish to drop a course, you must either
use NovaConnect or complete a form 125-28,
Registration and Tuition Worksheet (located in the printed schedule or online at http://www.nvcc.edu/forms/)
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 January 23, 2005 (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 classes 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. The College’s
calculated portion of unearned aid will result in debt to the student
that blocks all College services until paid. These policies are
available from the College Financial Aid and Business Offices.
