All financial aid requirements must be completed to have financial aid applied to the tuition bill. To verify that financial aid requirements are completed, students should:
- Be sure all financial aid requirements are met: Go to SIS and click on the Financial Aid tab. Choose Overall Financial Aid Status. Select Campus. Select 2022-2023 Aid Year. If requirements need to be completed, the message, “You have unsatisfied student requirements for this aid year,” will be displayed. Click on the link to view requirements.
- Verify financial aid will cover tuition charges: Go to SIS and click on the Financial Aid tab. Choose Award, then Award for Aid Year. Select Campus; select 2022-2023 Aid Year. Click on Award Overview Tab. Scroll to Financial Aid Award by Term. If financial aid has been awarded, the amount of estimated aid for the term will be displayed. Deduct the estimated total amount of the award for the term from tuition charges.
Students that do not have financial aid in place by the tuition due date or have a remaining balance due after the estimated financial aid award may have a $50 late fee assessed. Students with questions about financial aid should contact the Financial Aid office at NHTIfinaid@ccsnh.edu or 603-230-4013.
Military Benefit Recipients
Students eligible to receive military education benefits should complete the following steps:
- Complete all paperwork required through military service and/or the VA at least 8 weeks prior to the start of the term (the VA may take 8 weeks to process paperwork).
- Submit VA eligibility paperwork (COE, NOBE), Military Semester Worksheet, Guard and Reservist tuition assistance/tuition waiver authorizations to NHTI’s school certifying official (SCO) in the Registrar’s Office.
- Make payment arrangements for semester charges not covered by military benefits by the semester due date. Tuition is due 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester.
In accordance with the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, students receiving GI Bill® and VR&E (Chapter 33 and Chapter 31 beneficiaries) are considered in good financial standing once the student provides a certificate of eligibility (COE) or valid VAF 28-1905 to the SCO and establishes an approved payment arrangement for any tuition and fees (not covered by their GI Bill® and VR&E benefit) by the tuition due date each semester. If a student’s eligibility for GI Bill® and VR&E should change during the semester, the student is responsible for making payment arrangements for any balance that may be due as a result of the change.
The college will not impose a penalty or require the beneficiary to borrow additional funds to cover tuition and fees due to late payments from the VA. The college allows up to 90 days from the date the beneficiary provides a COE or valid VAF 28-1905 form to receive payment from the military. During this time, the beneficiary should not experience interruption in educational services, such as being withdrawn from their course for non-payment.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Third-Party Payments
For NHTI to invoice an employer, company, or agency for courses, the following conditions are required:
- If the employer, company, or agency (insurance company, VOC rehab, CAP, etc.) is paying for tuition, students need an official letter or Tuition Authorization Form from the company authorizing NHTI to bill them. This should be submitted at the time of registration for day, evening, online, or business training courses prior to the first class. The company must be willing to pay upon receipt of invoice.
- If the third-party states there are contingencies, (i.e. grade of C or better upon completion, etc.), NHTI cannot bill the third party. The student must pay the semester charges by the tuition due date and receive reimbursement directly from the third party.
- For NHTI to send an invoice to a company, the letter must be on official letterhead and include student name, company contact name, company billing address and email address, company telephone, the course and/or maximum amount of tuition allowable.
- It is the student's responsibility to make sure the company pays the invoice. If the company fails to pay the invoice, the student is responsible for the bill and will not be eligible to register for future courses until the bill is paid in full.
- A separate letter is needed for each semester.
- If the company offers a reimbursement program, the student is responsible for tuition. NHTI does not offer deferments.
- NHTI reserves the right to not accept payment authorization from companies that are not in good standing with NHTI.
- Students with questions should contact the third-party payables representative in the Bursar’s Office at 603-230- 4000 x4112.
Delinquent Accounts Collections Policy
Any account balance 90 days past due may be turned over to an independent, outside collections agency. When this happens, no payments will be accepted by NHTI and the debt will be reported to the credit bureau. The cost of the outside collection agency (up to 35% of the amount due) and any legal/bounced check fees will be added to the total amount owed. Students who owe a past-due balance will not be eligible to receive official transcripts or register for courses at NHTI and/or other CCSNH colleges until the balance is paid in full.
NHTI Refund Policies
For refunds due to overpayment (including but not limited to Title IV Stafford sub/unsub loans, scholarships, grants, and Parent Plus loans), students can choose to receive a refund through SIS. Students may check SIS to find out when a credit has been issued or when an NHTI refund has been posted. Once the NHTI refund is processed, students can expect to receive it as follows:
- ACH direct deposit and/or reloadable debit card 3 business days from the date the refund is viewable on the Student Choice Refund page of SIS
- Check refunds up to 14 business days from the date the refund is viewable on the Student Choice Refund page of SIS
All Federal Title IV funds (i.e. PELL, SEOG, Perkins Loan) are refunded according to the rules and regulations mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. Students are responsible for making sure their most current mailing address is on file with our college; any address changes should be made through the Registrar’s Office.
Refunds from Cancelled/Dropped Courses or Withdrawing
Students need to contact the Registrar’s Office or the Academic Advising Center by phone, fax, or email or in person prior to the published date for last day to withdraw with refund. Students that do not formally withdraw from a course by this deadline will be responsible to pay for the course.
