Institutional Refund Policy

The student services office has been designated as the official office for withdraw notification. Refunds are calculated based on the day a student officially drops a class by contacting the student services office in person, by mail, or by phone. A full refund will be issued if NCCC exercises its right to cancel a class.

Courses Sixteen (16) or more weeks in duration
If a student has completed registration in a class lasting sixteen (16) or more weeks and wishes to withdraw from a class or classes in which he/she is enrolled, the student will receive the following refund:

100% refund if the completed drop form is received by the student services office within two (2) weeks (fourteen (14) calendar days) after the official start date of classes, as published. A specific date for the end of the 100% refund period for each semester will be published in the schedule for that semester. Classes beginning after the official start date will be dealt with on an individual basis. No refund will be given after the end of the two (2)-week refund period.

Courses less than sixteen (16) weeks in duration (mini-courses)
A full refund will be made for withdraws prior to or on the first day of class. No refund will be given after the first day of class. The chief financial officer may authorize exceptions to this policy.
