O nce accepted, families must pay the enrollment fee and sign a tuition contract. Tuition may be paid in one of three ways: (1) One payment of full tuition; (2) Two payments (per semester); (3) Monthly payment (electronic draft).
New Students: Regardless of the payment option, all required tuition payments are due June 5. If payment is not received by June 11, NCA will be released from the obligation to guarantee your child's space for the upcoming school year. For those families choosing the two-pay option, the second tuition payment will be due December 5.
Re-enrolled Students: If current school year tuition has not been paid in full by May 11, NCA will be released from any obligation to guarantee your child's space for the upcoming school year and the re-enrollment fee will not be reimbursed.
Monthly payment option for new students: as stated above, the first tuition payment will be due on June 5th by electronic draft. The subsequent eleven monthly tuition payments will continue by electronic draft on the 5th day of each month through May 5. An EFT form (electronic funds transfer form) must be completed at the time the contract is signed and a voided check must be attached to the form.
All students enrolling at NCA after June 5: Tuition is due at the time the tuition contract is signed. The following choices are available for families that select the monthly payment option:
- Choice 1: Pay the enrollment fee and the monthly tuition rate through the 5th of the month the student is enrolling at the time the tuition contract is signed (by check or cash). Example: a student enrolling on July 25 for the upcoming school year will pay the enrollment fee and the monthly tuition payment for June and July at the time the tuition contract is signed. The monthly electronic draft in the amount shown on the Tuition and Fees Schedule will begin August 5 and continue on the 5th of each month through May 5.
- Choice 2: Pay the enrollment fee and one month's tuition at the time the tuition contract is signed (by check or cash. Divide the remaining annual tuition due by the number of months the electronic draft will be made. Example: the student enrolling on July 25 will pay the enrollment fee and the June monthly tuition payment by check or cash. The remaining tuition balance will be divided by 10 payments (August through May). The electronic draft in this amount will begin August 5 and continue on the 5th of each month through May 5.
Application, enrollment, re-enrollment and testing fees are non-refundable. Reimbursement of tuition is subject to the following: If a student(s) withdraw(s) for any reason after June 5, a refund will only be made for that portion of the amount paid to date that exceeds 15% of the total annual tuition under this contract.
