Payment and Refund Policies
Tuition and fees are due prior to the beginning of each semester. Late fees apply to those who fail to make payment arrangements prior to the beginning of each semester. Students with outstanding balances on their accounts will not be permitted to enroll in future semesters or receive official grade transcripts until prior term balances have been paid.
After financial obligations have been met, students may register for classes, then obtain their schedule from the Student Information System. Program cost estimates by academic program are available on this website at www.nhti.edu/bursar/.

Students will be required to sign the following statement when completing a variety of NHTI forms, including Registration Forms, Add/Drop Forms, Deferred Payment Agreement Forms, Financial Aid Deferment/Award Forms, Withdrawal Forms and On-line Registration Forms:
"I understand by registering for courses at NHTI, I am financially obligated for ALL costs related to the registered course(s). Upon a drop or withdrawal, I understand that I will be responsible for all charges as noted in the student catalog and handbook. I further understand that if I do not make payment in full, my account may be reported to the credit bureau and/or turned over to an outside collection agency. I also understand that I will be responsible for the costs of the outside collection agency, any legal fees, and any bounced check fees under RSA 6:11, which will add significant costs to my account balance."

NHTI Tuition Payment Options: Full Payment and Payment Plan
NHTI offers a FACTS (nelnet)/e-Cashier Payment Plan to students. With FACTS (nelnet)/e-Cashier, students can now make monthly payments for their tuition/fees automatically. It's easy to enroll and less expensive than getting a loan! Access FACTS (nelnet)/e-Cashier by clicking on the e-Cashier button below. The FACTS plan electronically processes the monthly payments using the responsible party's bank account or credit card so there is no check writing or stamps involved. Students also have the option to make full payment using FACTS (nelnet)/e-Cashier. Details about this program are mailed to all new students and can also be obtained by calling the Bursar's Office at (603) 271-6309. For assistance when enrolling on-line for the payment plan, contact the FACTS Management Company at 800-609-8056. Students who wish to pay a past due balance should pay the Bursar's Office directly to avoid processing delays.

In order for NHTI to invoice a student's company directly for courses taken, the following conditions are required:
- A letter of authorization to bill the company must be presented at time of registration. The letter must be on company letterhead and the billing address should be indicated. Responsibility for payment must be indicated, regardless of grade or course completion. A separate letter is needed for each semester.
- If the student's company fails to pay the invoice, the student is responsible for the bill and will not be eligible to register for any future courses until the bill is paid in full.
- If a student's company offers a reimbursement program, the student is responsible for tuition. NHTI does not offer deferred payment. Students choosing to use the NHTI internal payment plan are responsible for making payments according to the due dates.

Delinquent Account Collection Policy
Any account ninety days past due may be turned over to an independent, outside collections agency. This will add at least twenty-eight percent, the agency's fee, to the total owed. At the same time the debt will more than likely be reported to the Credit Bureau. Students will not be eligible to receive official transcripts or register for courses at NHTI.
After all financial obligations have been satisfied, students who wish to return to NHTI will be required to prepay in full for one semester at the time of registration. Students will only be able to defer payments when all financial aid requirements have been satisfied. Any remaining balance must be paid in full. After one semester, the student will be in good standing with NHTI. The student will then become eligible for the FACTS (netlnet)/e-Cashier Payment Plan and Financial Aid Deferment using all awards except college work-study.
NHTI Refund Policy
Please note that 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, or equivalent accelerated semester course (e.g., eight week course), will receive a 100% refund of tuition, less non-refundable fees. 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. Non-refundable fees are defined as advance tuition deposits, admission application fees, residence hall room deposits, payment plan fee, late registration fee and orientation fees. All other fees are to be considered refundable. This includes, but is not limited to lab fees, comprehensive student services fees and the Nursing and Dental Program clinical surcharge.
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. (See Withdrawal sections http://www.nhti.edu/financialaid/financialaidinformation.htm#withdrawal and http://www.nhti.edu/academics/academicrequirements.htm#withdrawal.)
Board refunds may be pro-rated for the remainder of the semester when a resident student officially withdraws from Residence Life, or NHTI. Such prorated refunds will be computed on a weekly basis from the first day of the week following withdrawal.
New Hampshire Residency Status
In order to qualify for New Hampshire resident tuition rates, a student must have been a legal resident of the state for a minimum of twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the student’s NHTI enrollment date (first day of classes).
Students who change legal residence to New Hampshire during their studies at NHTI must still be legal residents of New Hampshire for twelve months prior to being eligible for resident rates. Change of address does not necessarily constitute change of legal residence.
In order to begin the process of eligibility, students must provide the Admissions Office with proof of residency, such as a notarized statement or rent receipts, that accurately reflects the effective date of residency. A New Hampshire driver’s license is not sufficient proof of legal residency status.
New England Regional Student Program (NERSP)
The New England Regional Student Program enables a resident of a New England state to enroll in a public college or university in the six state region at 50% above in-state tuition for certain degree programs if:
Students eligible for NERSP should submit a written request to the Director of Admissions when they apply to the Institute. NHTI considers New England Regional status to be a form of financial aid. For further information, contact a high school guidance counselor or the NHTI Admissions Office.
Veterans Administration Enrollment Certification
Students interested in and eligible for VA education benefits should contact the Registrar’s Office See also Veterans Assistance.
For complete information about Veterans Student Financial Programs visit: http://www.nhti.edu/financialaid/veterans.htm
Student are responsible for the purchase of all books and supplies required for the courses in which they are enrolled. The estimated cost of these books and supplies varies depending on the academic program. For example, students in health-related programs are responsible for purchasing uniforms.
NHTI Bookstore personnel can provide estimates for the cost of books for a given major. Students should contact their Department directly for the estimated cost of additional supplies and instruments.

NHTI will establish housing fees yearly and will announce these proposed fees for each academic year. Upon nonpayment of any fees or any charges herein provided, NHTI may refuse to register the student for the next semester, issue transcript, or allow the student to be graduated.
