Once classes begin, a final drop will take place on each semester/term’s Official Date of Record for students who still have an account balance and/or no payment arrangements.

  • The Financial Aid Application (FAFSA®) is open year-round so apply NOW if you need assistance paying for college, and also complete the NCTC Scholarship application when available! If awarded Financial Aid, your FAFSA® is good for the entire academic year (Fall through the following Summer).

  • You can also set up a Payment Plan and the earlier you register, the better (less money down, and more time to pay)!

  • Review how to use your aid or set up payment for one more more semesters below, and remember if you no longer want to be enrolled and are unable to drop classes online through MyNCTC, contact advising@nctc.edu for assistance. Students are responsible for dropping unwanted courses prior to the first day of that semester in order to receive a full refund, per the Business Office Refund Policy.

How to Pay for Classes

Students can find their Account Balance/tuition and fees for any and all enrolled semesters by logging into MyNCTC, selecting the Student Services tab, and then choosing Financial from the left-hand menu. Acceptable methods of payment include:

Online Registration

    • Students who have received Registration Clearance from their Advisor/Success Coach after pre-selecting classes based on their major/plan through Course Planning in MyNCTC

    • Students who have met Admissions requirements, are in good academic standing, and have no holds on their accounts

    • Students who are not required to enroll in any preparatory coursework based on TSI placement

    • First-time college students (including previous Dual Credit students who are now at NCTC as a full or part-time student)

    • Students who are not TSI complete in one or more subject area(s) and therefore required to enroll in preparatory coursework

    • Transfer students needing transcripts evaluated and credits applied from another institution, in order to meet course prerequisites

    • Students currently on Academic Probation or an approved Academic Suspension appeal (please see Academic Recovery for more info.)
