Billing Procedure

It is the responsibility of the student to pay any charges by due dates. We will attempt to bill you for tuition and fee charges prior to due dates; however, if you register late in the registration process, this may not be possible. In case of errors or questions about your bill, contact the Cashier’s Office as soon as possible. If errors are not resolved immediately, please put your concerns in writing within 60 days and mail to the Cashier’s Office. Any collection costs incurred by NMC as a result of non-payment of any charges will be added to the outstanding balance and will become the student’s responsibility. Cashier’s Office: (231) 995-1085

Financial and Other Obligations

Tuition and fee payment may be deferred until applicable due dates as shown in the course schedule. You may pay any amount at any time prior to the due date, but the final balance must be paid by 4:30 p.m. on the due date or your enrollment may be cancelled. (You may then re-register pending course availability and pay in full.) If you register after the due date, full payment is expected at the point of registration or within twenty-four hours.

You are responsible for officially dropping your classes if you decide not to attend those classes. Otherwise, you will be responsible for any charges incurred and will receive a grade at the end of the semester.

All tuition and fees in excess of your anticipated financial aid must be paid by the due dates. All third - party authorizations must be received by the Cashier’s office with payment for amounts not covered. Students applying late for aid may need to put a deposit down to hold classes.

100% refund for 15-week through 7-week classes if dropped during the session's add period with no refund thereafter.

Refunds for classes vary according to the length of the session. The refund schedule for these classes is available in the Records and Registration Office or web site at: www.nmc.edu/records/dates.
