NHTI, Concord's Community College - Bursar's Office Refund Policies

Refund Policies for Tuition and Fees

Please note: All refunds described below require that the student complete an official withdrawal form in the Registrar's Office. Therefore, students who register for classes, never attend and do not officially withdraw are liable for all charges.

Students who officially withdraw from the college or an individual course by the end of the eighth (8th) calendar day of the semester will receive a 100% refund of tuition, less non-refundable fees. Students in classes which begin after the designated start of the semester (e.g., a mid-semester start) will have eight (8) calendar days from the designated start of the alternative semester to withdraw for a full refund. Exception: students in courses that meet for two weeks or fewer must drop by the end of the first day of the class in order to get a 100% refund. [Please note that certain fees are non-refundable. Non-refundable fees are defined as advance tuition deposits, admission application fees, residence hall room deposits, payment plan fee, orientation fees. All other fees are to be considered refundable. This includes, but is not limited to academic instruction fees, lab fees, comprehensive student services fees, and the Nursing, Dental, and Diagnostic Medical Imaging Program clinical surcharges.]

All Federal Title IV funds (i.e. PELL, SEOG, Perkins Loan) are prorated and refunded according to the rules and regulations mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at (603) 271-7135 for more information.

Students who neglect to officially drop within the drop/add period are not eligible for a refund.

Students registered for workshops through Continuing Education or the Business Training Center must withdraw in writing at least three days prior to the first workshop session in order to receive a full refund of tuition and fees.

In extenuating circumstances, the President (or designee) is authorized to offer alternative compensation in the form of tuition credit or waiver to students on a case-by-case basis. Tuition credit on a student account must be used within one calendar year from the date of authorization.
