All students enrolling must pay a $50 deposit to reserve their place in classes for which they are registering. The deposit is due within ten (10) working days from the registration date. The deposit is credited on a student's fee statement and will be applied to the amount of tuition and fees due for the semester.

Any student who registers for a term and later decides not to attend, must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing or use HawkNET to withdraw from classes prior to July 1 for the fall semester, by the business day preceding the start of the spring semester, and by the business day preceding the start of each summer session to receive a refund of the $50. After these dates, the deposit is not refundable.

Payment is due in full within ten (10) working days from the registration date or the first day of the term, whichever date is earlier, for students registering for two (2) credit hours or less.

Students registering ten (10) or more days prior to the start date of the term, whose deposit payment has not reached the Business Office within ten (10) working days from the registration date, will be administratively withdrawn from the term and will no longer be registered for the course(s).

A bill will not be sent to remind students to pay their deposit.

Students may pay on-line using a credit card, checking, or savings account. Students may use a credit card to pay by telephone. Please call the Northeast Community College Business Office. Any credit card payment made via the telephone will not be reflected on the student’s account until the next business day.

Students may send their payment by mail. Students who choose to mail their deposit or payment of tuition and fees, should allow sufficient time for their payment to reach the Business Office by the due date. The mailing address for the Business Office is Northeast Community College Business Office, PO Box 469, Norfolk, NE 68702-0469.

The Business Office will mail a statement of account to each student at least two weeks prior to the start of each term. Students who have been approved for financial aid by the Financial Aid Office will see estimated aid on their statements. If the estimated aid equals or exceeds the tuition and fee charges, the student will not be required to make a payment at that time. If the tuition and fee charges exceed the amount of any estimated aid, the balance is due immediately and payable not later than the first day of the semester. If there is a change in your financial aid status, payment for any balance is due the first day of the term. Failure to receive a statement does not exempt you from making the required payment by the deadline.

If registration occurs after the billing date, no statement will be sent.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Northeast Community College Financial Aid Office has not received your required paperwork early enough to complete your financial aid award (tuition waiver, PELL, SEOG, SSAP, Stafford, Scholarships, room or board waiver), you must be prepared to pay the balance due from other means by the due date.

Classes are not guaranteed until the student pays all tuition and fees or makes arrangements for payment. Nonpayment of tuition and fees by the due date may result in late payment fees and/or withdrawal from classes for the term.
