Laboratory/Clinic/Practicum:
A fee will be charged for laboratory/clinic/practicum or other similar experiences. This fee will be calculated by subtracting the number of class hours from the number of credit hours and multiplying the remainder by $60 for each course. This fee will be added to the normal tuition charge for that course. This fee will be charged to all students with no exceptions. Effective January 1, 2009, no fee will be charged for co-ops and internships. No other lab fees are permitted without the written authorization of the Commissioner of the Community College System of New Hampshire.

Liability Insurance
Student Personal Professional Liability Insurance is mandatory for all students in health and human service related programs which include clinical requirements. This may also be required for students in other programs who participate in an off campus practicum or internship. Fee ranges from $20 to max of $65 per year.
New England Regional Student Program (NERSP)
The New England Regional Student Program provides qualified
out-of-state New England residents with reduced tuition based
on in-state tuition plus 50 percent. Eligibility for this program
is established if the academic program to which the student is
applying is not offered in the student’s home state, or if the program
offered at this college is closer to home. Determination of
eligibility is the responsibility of the Vice President of Student
Affairs. NERSP students are liable for full payment of all fees.
Senior Citizen Tuition
Senior citizens (65 or older) will pay half tuition on a space available basis for credit courses. They are also responsible for the Comprehensive Student Service and Academic Instruction fees. Eligibility requires New Hampshire residency. Senior citizens will pay full tuition for non-credit courses and workshops.
Payment Of Tuition
It is the policy of the College to require payment or arrangements for payment of all semester charges 10 calendar days prior to the start of the semester
Failure to make payment in full or arrangements for payment 10 days prior to the start of the semester will result in the cancellation of the student's registration. Students will then need to re-register and make payment or arrangements for payment providing that the course(s) still has space available.
Tuition payments are due 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Each semester/session of the college year, including summer sessions, is billed separately. Tuition bills are mailed to each student approximately 30 days prior to the due date.
Tuition is based on a per credit charge. Students enrolled in 12 credits or more are considered full-time students. Credits earned during co-op work experience are college credits for which there are tuition and academic instruction fee charges payable by the student.
Books, Tools and Supplies
The college furnishes much of the necessary lab equipment and tools, but students must purchase their own textbooks and personal equipment. Faculty advisors of each curriculum will discuss these needs during the orientation/advising process. The cost of textbooks and supplies varies with each program.
Delinquent Accounts
An account becomes delinquent 30 days after the start of the semester. Any account unpaid or in arrears for more than 60 days will be referred to the College System Office Collection Department. Accounts that continue to be delinquent will be referred to a private collection agency by the College System Office. Please note that additional fees of up to 35% of the amount owed to the college will be assessed by the collection agency. Once the account goes to a collection agency, the student can no longer rectify the situation with the college, but must resolve it directly with the agency.
Protested Checks
The college will charge a fee for any check, draft or money order
returned for insufficient funds in accordance with State regulations
which state, “Whenever any check, draft or money order issued in payment of any fee or for any other purpose is returned
to any State department…as uncollectible, the State department…
shall charge a fee of $25 or 5% of the face amount of
the check, whichever is greater, plus all protest and bank fees,
in addition to the amount of the check, draft or money order, to
the person presenting the check, draft or money order to the
department or institution to cover the cost of collection.” (Ref.
RSA 1985, 6:11a)
If extreme hardship is established, full payment shall be deferred
until the end of the semester. If final payment is not made by
that time, the student shall be referred to the System Collection
Department. Further, the student shall not be eligible to receive
a grade, transcript or have academic credit awarded for courses
taken. The student shall be notified of these conditions in
writing.
If extreme hardship is not determined, the student shall be
dropped from enrollment. An AW will appear on the student
transcript. Grades, transcripts or academic credit will not be
awarded. The financial obligation remains, and if not satisfied,
the delinquent account process will be followed.
See Academic Section for information regarding AW from a
course.
