Withdrawal from programs and cancellation of classes result in a percentage of tuition being refunded, depending on the week of cancellation/withdrawal and the number of courses from which students withdraws.
Undergraduate: Per term, students are charged $897 for tuition plus a $50 non-refundable technology fee (regardless of the number of courses enrolled for the term). Students seeking a full programmatic withdrawal for the term will be eligible for a percentage of tuition paid for the term corresponding with the week of withdrawal, based on tuition previously paid in advance or owed for the term.
Graduate: Per term, students are charged $1497 for tuition plus a $50 non-refundable technology fee (regardless of the number of courses enrolled per term). Students seeking a full programmatic withdrawal for the term will be eligible for a percentage of tuition paid for the term corresponding with the week of withdrawal, based on tuition previously paid in advance or owed for the term.
Students have five days to withdraw after signing the enrollment agreement to receive 100% refund of all monies paid to the university. For a per course withdrawal, the student will be eligible for a percentage of tuition refund corresponding with the week of withdrawal based on the per term tuition divided by the total number of courses enrolled for that term. If a student seeks to withdraw from additional courses for the same term, the student will continue to be eligible for a tuition refund based on the same initial number of course enrollments in the same term, providing withdrawal is requested prior to the 42nd day of the term. NCU requires that a student must inform the Registrar in a documented manner (withdrawal form, mail, email, fax, or other written forms of communication) or by informal communications to the registrar. Tuition refunds are made within 30 days of notice of withdrawal. The student is notified if a balance is due to the University. Technology fees are non-refundable. The percentage of tuition minus the technology fee is returned to the student after each week based on the schedule below and is calculated on a per course basis.
The table below lists the percentage of tuition that will be refunded to students who cancel their programmatic enrollment prior to the end of a term.
