Medical Insurance

Massachusetts Universal Health Insurance Law requires every student enrolled in nine (9) or more credits to have adequate medical insurance coverage. If you have comparable health insurance, you may waive this charge by completing an electronic waiver form. Free Care Programs do NOT qualify for this waiver.

Non-Payment and Bad Debt Policy

The student must inform NECC before the start of the term that he no longer plans to attend. Classes may be dropped with no financial penalty BEFORE the start of the term by calling 978.556.3700. Students with unpaid debts will not be permitted to register for future semesters nor to receive official transcripts. Financial aid students are responsible for any balance not paid by financial aid.

Delinquent accounts will be turned over to a collection agency where the student will be assessed a 20% collection fee as mandated by the State Comptroller. Delinquent accounts will also be referred to the Commonwealth's Intercept Program which intercepts state income tax refunds being issued to the debtor.
