Types of Payment. You may pay by any of the
following methods:
FACTS (Fast Automatic Cash Transfer System) Tuition Payment
Plan - The FACTS Deferred Tuition Payment Plan allows you to make a
down payment IMMEDIATELY and arrange for 2-4 monthly payments by
either a) automatic payments from your checking or savings account
or b) charges to your credit card. You must enroll in the
FACTS program at least 24 hours BEFORE you register for classes. For
more information or to enroll online go to http://www.nvcc.edu/tuitionandfees/facts.htm.
There is a fee for the FACTS Plan.
Credit Card—Visa, MasterCard and American
Express 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 5:00 p.m.,
April 29, 2005. 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 (anticipated)
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. You may view your financial aid awards
from NovaConnect Web.
Contract Payment—(Third-party Contract)—You
must submit a letter to the campus Business Office from your employer,
authorizing the College to bill them for the tuition, 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
always 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
12-week semester course by May 28, 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.
