Cost of Attendance
> LIONS > BUSINESS OFFICE > COST OF ATTENDANCE
NCTC's committed to providing quality education at a reasonable cost.
The following information will help you calculate your expenses at NCTC on a per-semester basis. The cost of attendance for a regular long semester (Fall or Spring) is the sum of expenses in four categories:
Out-of-District Service Fee
General Use
Individualized Instruction
Other Fees
Room & Board
NOTE: Students should read this information carefully and thoroughly to assure that they will be able to come up with a fairly accurate estimate of expenses. Students also should keep in mind that this amount will be an estimate, since there is no way to accurately forecast for each individual student personal expenditures such as entertainment, transportation, clothing, etc. Also, as explained below, some other expenses (such as those for books and supplies, room and board, etc.) will vary from student to student.
IMPORTANT: Students will not be considered properly registered and will not be admitted to classes until all tuition and fees required by the college have been paid. These are payable in advance (at registration) at the beginning of each semester. Students who are participating in one of the various Financial Aid programs should take special note of deadlines for application and submission of required materials. Lateness in making application and/or submitting all required information may require such students to pay tuition and fees personally at the time of registration, and they should be prepared to bear these expenses until their awards can be processed.
Need a refund?
A 100% refund is given only when a class is canceled by NCTC or if you completely withdraw before the first class day. After that day, a percentage may be returned based on when you withdraw.
Third Party Payments
Students will not be considered properly registered and will not be admitted to classes until all tuition and fees required by the college have been paid. If a third party will be making payment toward a student’s tuition and fees, NCTC must have an agreement with the third party and all documentation/payment vouchers/authorizations must be submitted to the Business Office in advance (at registration) before the beginning of each semester. Lateness in submitting all required documentation may require such students to pay tuition and fees personally at the time of registration. Students will be responsible for any balance not paid by the third party.
Prepaid Tuition Plans
Students will not be considered properly registered and will not be admitted to classes until all tuition and fees required by the college have been paid. Students using a prepaid tuition plan must submit the appropriate documentation/authorization to the Business Office in advance (at registration) before the beginning of each semester. Lateness in submitting all required documentation may require such students to pay tuition and fees personally at the time of registration. The student will be responsible for any balance not paid by the prepaid tuition plan.
