Payment Policies for Tuition and Fees

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.

Collection Clause
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.”

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.

Protested Check Policy
“Whenever any check, draft or money order issued in payment of any fee or for any other purpose is returned to any state department or institution as uncollectible, the department or institution may charge a fee of $25.00 or 5% of the face amount of the check, whichever is the 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 costs of collection.” (RSA 6:11-a)

Note: Financial Aid is NOT available in time to purchase your books and you must plan accordingly for that expense. Emergency book loans are available, see below.
