Bridge Program -- Student Fees and Billing

Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ offers the BRIDGE courses to high school juniors and seniors with a scholarship. A college course on campus will cost students around $900, but the partnership between Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ and your high school has allowed us to offer this scholarship.  Since the fee is already adjusted with this scholarship, Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ does not waive the fee.

  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Business Office bills the students $75 per course for all BRIDGE courses. After the first billing, a contract firm will follow up on any unpaid balances.
  • Students commit to paying for the course by signing the Course Selection Form. Under NYS Education Law, students 14 and older can sign on their own behalf without a parental signature.
  • Each student will receive a green statement at the home address. This form lists each course for which the student has registered.
  • Each student is responsible for the payment unless he/she contacts the counselor to drop the course prior to the semester deadline (see Important Dates.) Unpaid balances create account holds, which means students who wish to enroll at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ or to receive a transcript to bring the credits to another college will not be able to do so until Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ receives full payment.
  • Proof of course completion: The student must request a transcript from the Records Office: records@nccc.edu.  However, the transcript will not be released until the full payment is received.
  • Students and parents are urged to review withdrawal process to understand when withdrawal will result in no fee to students and when the fee will continue to be incurred.
