Policy Number: 6.210
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
This policy addresses how payments are received from students and how nonpayment is managed.
SCOPE
This policy applies to all students who incur charges at NPC.
AUTHORITY
NPC Board of Trustees
DEFINITIONS POLICY STATEMENT
Students are required to pay for all required tuition, fees, books and related charges before the first day of class for the semester they are enrolled. If a student does not qualify for financial aid, and cannot afford to pay his/her balance in full at the time of registration, he/she will be directed to a student financial staff member to discuss payment options. Acceptable payment options include cash, check, credit card, online payment plans through Nelnet Business Solutions, and (under limited circumstances) in-house payment plans managed by the student financial team. Outstanding balances block students from future enrollment and put a hold on their accounts which prevents the issuance of official transcripts.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Vice President of Finance and Administration, Controller and student accounts staff are responsible for the management of Student Accounts Receivable.
