Financial Policies & Procedures
The purpose of this web page is to give you a quick reference to most relevant policies and procedures that relate to your bill.
Student Account/Bursar will communicate information about your student billing through your NECC student email. You could also go to NECC Self-Service to view your account details, make payment, view your billing statements, sign up for Fall/Spring 4-Month Installment Plan, activate your eRefund (electronic refund-Direct Deposit) profile, and authorize your parents, guardians, employer/sponsors to view and/or pay your account activities.
Before the start of the term call 978-556-3700 to drop your classes if you are NOT planning to attend; otherwise you may owe a bill, regardless of whether or not you attend. Be sure to keep a record of the course drop confirmation number, for future reference. Delinquent accounts are not only sent to a collection agency and charged an additional 20% in collection fees, but are also referred to the Intercept Program of the Commonwealth which intercepts state income tax refunds.
Course Drop and Withdrawal Policy: http://www.necc.mass.edu/student-services/current/policies-conduct/academic-policies-procedures/graduation-program-and-course-policies/
To drop a course, students must complete the Drop portion of the Registration form, and submit the form to Enrollment Services for processing. Before dropping a course, students should consult with their academic advisor, Financial Aid Office, if appropriate, and also inform the instructor of the course that they are dropping the course. Students who are enrolled (matriculated) in a program and plan to drop ALL their courses and discontinue their studies, should officially withdraw from the college.
Students who must drop all of their courses should officially withdraw from the College. To officially withdraw from the college, a student must complete a Withdrawal From College Form available from the Enrollment Services Department.

The total cost of a course is comprised of a number of factors, including those costs that are assessed per credit: (1) Tuition, (2) NECC Fee, (3) Student Activity Fee, and (4) High Cost Program Fee.
In addition, other charges may be incurred, based on individual course requirements and one-time events. For updated information, click the web link above.
(FAQ: http://www.necc.mass.edu/getting-started/financial-aid/faq/ )
Applying for financial aid and submitting all paperwork EARLY ensures that Financial Aid can evaluate your eligibility prior to your Tuition Bill Due Date. Students who submit documentation late may need to start a payment plan to avoid being dropped from their classes. If you applied for financial aid, your aid award will be posted on your NECC Self-Service. Subtract your financial aid from your bill to determine any amount you are responsible for paying. Just because you are receiving financial aid does not mean your entire bill is covered. You are still responsible for any charges not paid for by financial aid and you must pay them by the due date on your bill.

If you are enrolled in 9 or more credits, and already covered by a comparable health insurance plan, then you may waive the insurance premium by completing an Online Health Insurance Waiver on the College’s website. You will find instructions below.
If you are not already covered, and you are enrolled in 9 or more credits, Massachusetts state law requires that you purchase health insurance.
Instructions for Online Health Insurance Waiver:
To waive the health insurance premium you will need the following information, most of which should be found on your current health insurance ID card:
When you have this information, you are ready to complete the waiver.
You should receive a message that reads: “We have successfully received your health insurance waiver information.”
