Deposits
Enrollment Deposit
A $200 deposit must be received by the College prior to the first day of classes. This sum is credited to the student’s account when he or she enrolls in courses. The deposit is nonrefundable in the event that the student does not enroll, although the deposit can be credited to enrollment costs for a future session.
Payment Procedures
Northland College divides a student’s basic charges into two half-year billings: the first payment is due on August 15 and the second on December 15. Additional charges such as course fees that cannot be anticipated are due by the last day of the add/drop period.
A late payment fee of $200 will be assessed to any account with a balance over $1000 as of the last day of the add/drop period per semester.
Statements are mailed monthly. Checks should be made payable to Northland College and mailed to the Cashier, Northland College, 1411 Ellis Ave, Ashland, WI 54806-3999.
A late fee of $100 will be assessed to students who register after the add/drop period or who are allowed to submit schedule changes after the add/drop period.
Payment Plans
Northland College cooperates with Tuition Management Systems to provide educational financing options for students. Payment plans can be used to finance the billing amount remaining after financial aid and family contributions have been applied to a student’s account. The College accepts major credit cards to settle accounts. Please contact the Business Office for more information.
Delinquent Accounts
A one percent charge per month is applied to the unpaid balance on a student account. Accounts remaining unsettled after 90 days will be turned over to a collection agent. A student will not be allowed to register for courses until any unpaid balance remaining in his or her account is paid in full. In addition, transcripts, credentials, and diplomas will be withheld for students with unpaid accounts. |
