PAYMENT OPTIONS
The student may choose one of two options for tuition fee payments:
Payment in one lump sum at commencement of studies (with a 5% reduction for cash payment - applicable to full fee students only).
Payment by 4 equal payments throughout the course, the first commencing with enrolment (no reduction in fees is given).
Course length for payments is set at a maximum of 12 months unless other arrangements are made in writing. Graduation cannot take place until all financial obligations are satisfied.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Students who need financial assistance to pay for their tuition should make this known to the institution when applying for assessment and enrolment.
NCIU does not have an institutional fund from which to draw financial assistance for student tuition costs.
However, NCIU follows a policy of praying and working with the student to making representation to supporters and friends of the institution who may respond to such needs.
There are no guaranteed sponsorship funds available from NCIU. As a faculty group we believe in the scriptural principle of making our needs known to our Heavenly Father, and trusting in His providence for the supply.
