Please read carefully as there are changes affecting student accounts
Payment due date for spring 2013 is January 3, 2013. For information on how to make a payment or set up a payment plan, please go to: www.nmc.edu/cashier. Payment by electronic check (from savings or checking) is the most efficient option and if saved as a refund option provides the fastest refund possible.
To pay online, log into MyNMC at www.nmc.edu and choose Self-Service
To apply for financial aid, go to: www.fafsa.gov and submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
NMC’s drops for non-payment have changed:
You are responsible for payment of all charges by the payment due date or the due dates on your payment plan. NMC may drop your enrollment in classes if you owe a balance after January 3, 2013. However, there are circumstances where, as a courtesy, we will not drop your classes. You must drop any classes that you do not plan to attend, otherwise, you will be responsible for payment of charges incurred and will receive a grade at the end of the semester. All prior semester balances must be paid before registering for future semesters.
NEW: There will be only one auto-drop for non-payment, scheduled for approximately January 7. Even if you don’t receive a notification as described below, please check and manage your account status and class schedule regularly, especially between now and the 100% refund dates listed on your class schedule for each course.
- A couple of weeks prior to payment due date, we will send an email notification to students who are flagged “to be dropped”. If you register after the email you will not get a warning. If you do not plan to attend, please drop your own classes.
- When the auto-drop runs (approximately January 7), an email will go to all students affected explaining how they can re-register. You will have to make payment or have applied for financial aid. Because the auto-drop process will not run again for this semester, it is important to note that you are responsible for any balances not covered by financial aid.
- An email will also go to those who had balances due, but whose classes were not dropped. This is to notify you that there will be no more drops, and you are responsible to complete the financial aid process or make full payment.
NEW: Students who are eligible for financial aid do not need to set up a payment plan. If NMC has received your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and it is not flagged as ineligible due to loan defaults, satisfactory academic progress suspension or other issues, you are not required to set up a payment plan. Please monitor your Self-Service and NMC email daily and respond to all requests for information. All students are responsible to pay for any balances not covered by financial aid. You are responsible to manage your own enrollment (for example: dropping classes you do not plan to attend/pay for).
Please understand your federal loan limits and pay for balances in excess of your potential aid:
Click on this link for: Federal Student Loan Limits. Withdrawal or non-attendance can result in loss of financial aid. If your financial aid is completely in place (authorized), you can charge against the available balance at the NMC Bookstore from December 17 through January 24. Contact Student Financial Services for more information on your financial aid eligibility.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Pay by January 3, set up a payment plan and make payments on time, or apply for financial aid in time for NMC to receive your FAFSA by January 3 (it takes up to 2 weeks).
- Drop classes you don’t plan to attend by the 100% refund date for each class printed on the student schedule.
- Watch your NMC email and check your account and schedule after the auto-drop to make sure you know where you stand.
- Pay your balances on time and/or make sure to follow the financial aid process to completion.
- Attend your classes to completion, taking full advantage of all of the help available to succeed. (Withdrawal or non-attendance can result in loss of financial aid. Contact Student Financial Services for information.)
