Residency

NCMC recognizes three separate residency groupings for purposes of levying tuition rates: In-District (Emmet County resident), In-State (Michigan resident) and Out-of-State (non-Michigan resident). For residency determination, students must have resided within the State of Michigan or in Emmet County for at least 6 months immediately prior to the first day of classes of the semester in which they plan to enroll.

As part of the enrollment process, all students must provide proof of residency. Proof can be a Michigan driver's license, rent receipt or agreement, property tax receipt, voter registration card, or an identification card from the Secretary of State Office. The college reserves the right to make the final decision on residency eligibility.

A Residency Review Committee consisting of the Dean of Student Services and Dean of Business Services will hear appeals of residency classification as established by the college. Arrangements for the hearing will be made by the Dean of Student Services. Any adjustment made in tuition due to a change in residency status shall not be retroactive.

c. For any course starting after the second Friday, a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees will be refunded prior to the first class meeting. After the class starts, there will be no refund.

d. If a course is dropped, 100 percent of tuition and fees can be applied to added courses on the same day.

2. Summer Session:
The refund schedule applies to the first Friday rather than the second Friday.
