Deferred Payment Program and Contract Agreement

To use the deferred payment plan, remember that NSCC does require that the student sign a deferred payment contract each semester.  The Bursar’s Office must process the deferred payment contract before the deposit can be made.  If online payment of the deposit is desired, please sign the deferred payment contract, fax to 615-353-3727 before 4 p.m. on the day the student registers, and mail or bring the original contract to the Bursar’s Office.  If a student wishes to use the deferred payment contract and is under 18 years of age, the parent’s signature is also required on the contract. Payment must be made the same day the student registers or all classes will be dropped.  DEFERRED PAYMENT PLANS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE SUMMER SEMESTER.

The Bursar’s Office guidelines for the deferred payment plan for Fall 2008 are as follows:

1. To be eligible for the deferred payment plan, students must owe at least $250 after all financial aid is applied, be in good financial standing with NSCC, and have no outstanding balances due from previous semesters.
2. After the initial deposit** is received at the time of registration, the remaining two payments are due on or before Oct. 1, 2008 and Nov. 1, 2008.  There is no grace period.  Do not wait for a billing statement to make your payments.  When due dates fall on Saturday or Sunday, payments may be made by accessing myNSCC on the website.
3. If payments are received late, there is a $25 late fee for each payment that is late as well as each 30-day period past the second installment up to $100 if the payments are not received.  To avoid these late fees, please ensure that payments are made by the due dates.  The first payment is due by 6:30 pm on Oct. 1, 2008.  The second payment is due by noon on Nov. 1, 2008. There is no grace period.
4. Students who choose to early register April 7, 2008 through Aug. 7, 2008 must complete the deferred payment contract and pay the deposit by noon on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2008.

**The initial deposit includes 50% of maintenance fees, technology access fees, and out-of-state fees (if applicable) plus a $10 deferred payment fee.  All other fees are due at the time of registration.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FEES MAY BE DEFERRED FOR FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS ONLY.

If there is a change in the student’s schedule that results in a refund due, the refund will be applied to the outstanding balance before a refund check is processed.  Refunds are based on total fees assessed, not on the amount paid.  Students who drop classes after the 75% refund period will have a balance due to the college. Please refer to the contract for specific information regarding the terms of the contract.  The following is an example calculation of the refund on a three hour class where the student used deferred payment agreement:

Description of Fee	Fees Assessed	Deposit
