Credit hour

The unit of credit used at North Central College is the Credit Hour. A 3 credit hour course is the equivalent of 3 semester hours or 4.5 quarter hours.

Part-time vs. full-time status

Students enrolled for 6 or more credit hours in a term are classified as full-time students for that term. All other students are classified as part-time students. Student status is critical when determining financial aid eligibility.

Notice

While the College has every intention of maintaining the stated tuition and fee charges for the entire academic year, North Central College reserves the right to change tuition and fees at any time without prior notice.

Refunds

Because North Central College contracts with faculty and staff and incurs other expenses in advance of the academic year, a refund formula has been established to reflect the equitable sharing of the loss when a student withdraws from classes. Refunds due to official withdrawal, suspension, or dismissal will be made on the following basis:

Tuition-A student who officially withdraws from the College or a course(s) may receive a full or partial refund (credit) according to the following schedule computed from the first official day of the academic term as identified by the Registrar, excluding summer and interim (which, in general, is the first weekday of the term in which classes are held):

  • During first 8 calendar days-100%
  • 9th through 14th calendar day-90%
  • 15th through 21st calendar day-50%
  • After 21st calendar day-0%

A current schedule with specific effective dates is published in advance of each term. The date of withdrawal is established by the student’s completion of all official steps for completing the process and will be based on the date that the Registrar’s Office records the withdrawal. If a student withdraws from the College or any courses at any time without having completed the official process, no refund/credit will be made. Non-attendance in a class does not automatically withdraw the student from the course. The appropriate paperwork must be turned in to the Office of Graduate and Continuing Studies to be recorded. The College reserves the right to modify the refund schedule as circumstances may dictate.
