2. Payment by 4 equal payments throughout the course, commencing with enrollment (with no reduction in fees given).

Scholarships - Financial Assistance Plan

NCI is able to offer financial scholarship assistance to a limited number of students each academic year. Special consideration is given to active missionaries and full time workers and students in developing or emerging nations.

NCI scholarship assistance is based on the principle of equal sharing and all applicants must be able to give recompense by way of providing practical ministry, translation and textual publication work at the discretion of the Faculty over and above the studies required for credit achievement in the respective program. 

From time to time NCI receives gifts from donors specifically for the purpose of assisting students from specified nations to complete an external degree program, and applications for those funds should be made to the Executive Director or your local academic dean.

In the first instance please direct all enquiry's to the Executive Director at NCI for details and application forms.

Letter of Assessment

Once your Application to NCI has been assessed you will be sent a letter of assessment. This letter will detail the course of study and the subjects you will be required to complete. It will also detail the financial costs that you are required to pay, and your payment options.

The letter of assessment will indicate an offer of advanced standing status and transfer credit point privileges if applicable. The letter of assessment is only valid if the offer is accepted by the student with both:

w a written response, and;

w an initial fee payment received.

This must be received by NCI within 90 days from the date post marked on the assessment offer.

Receipt of the first tuition payment is deemed by NCI as the student’s acceptance of the assessment offer. If no payment is made, the contract of study is duly deemed invalid.

If a student drops out of continuous study obligation as specified in the catalogue, or becomes inactive without written consent from NCI, they are deemed to have ceased from being a current student of NCI.

If a student who has dropped out, or become inactive wishes to be reactivated for completion of their degree award, they will be subject to the current conditions in place as designated in the catalogue at time of reactivation. Any difference in academic and fiscal policy must be agreed to in writing with appropriate fiscal rectification for reinstatement to take place.

Refund Policy

Students who wish to withdraw from the program must do so by requesting withdrawal in writing from the Academic Dean or Administrative Office. The date postmarked on the letter determines the date of cancellation that is accepted.

The refund percentage will only be calculated upon the total amount of tuition/credit point fees (both transfer and courses) paid. Registration and enrollment fees are not refundable. Course materials purchased are non-refundable.
