*Virginia Contract Students—This rate applies
to out-of-state students whose Virginia employer or federal agency
in Virginia has entered into a contractual relationship with NVCC.
Tuition is the same for credit and audit courses.
Types of Payment. (Note: You must pay in
full to reserve your course registrations.) You may pay by
any of the following methods:
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—You may mail a check
or money order to a campus Business Office. Addresses for each campus
are listed in this schedule under “Campus
Map and Directory.”
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 Award Letter
from the NVCC College Financial Aid Office. In the event your award
does not fully cover your tuition/fees, please complete payments
using NovaConnect or in person at a
campus Business Office.
Contract Payment—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 if you decide not to attend. DO NOT
assume you will be dropped automatically. |
REFUNDS
Tuition refunds are not automatic, except for courses
canceled by the College. If you wish to drop a course, you must
either use NovaConnect or complete a Registration Worksheet 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 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 29, 2004 (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 other refunds 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 courses
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. These policies are available
from the College Financial Aid and Business Offices.
