Petition to Waive Late Registration Fee
Northland Pioneer College's Assistant Registrar reserves the right to extend the registration period or waive the Late Registration Fee if circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the student caused the student to be unable to finalize their schedule. All waiver requests must be timely and not more than 10 business days after the start of the class. Documentation to support the student's claim is required.

Procedure
- The Petition to Waive Late Registration Fee (PDF) is completed by the student.
- The form will include (but is not limited to) an explanation for the request and the name of the person requesting the waiver, as well as the student's name and identification number.
- Waivers may be issued when:
- The late registration was the result of an institutional error; or
- A student was actively engaged in military service, firefighting, law enforcement, or other similar public service duties during the registration period and such duties precluded registration; or
- An unusual circumstance beyond the control of the student caused the student to be unable to finalize registration before the first day of class. (Additional documentation should be provided, i.e. supporting documentation of the circumstance, etc.)
- The completed Petition to Waive Late Registration Fee form may be turned in at a campus/center front office, mailed to the Records and Registration - Admissions Office, or sent via email to the Assistant Registrar.
- The Assistant Registrar will review the Petition and accompanying documents. A decision will be made to approve or deny the student's petition based upon the facts presented.
- If approved, the Business Office will waive the late registration fee by crediting the petitioning student's account.

Tuition
Tuition is a charge paid for instruction. It is based on the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in. Each course at NPC is assigned credit hours and tuition is charged to the student based on the total number of credit hours enrolled in per semester. Some courses at NPC have zero credits assigned to them but still may require a charge to take the class. Be sure to make your payment on time so you don't get dropped from your classes!
Fees
A fee is an additional charge on top of tuition for courses. NPC charges several kinds of fees for taking classes:
Late Registration Fee – Students registering for classes on or after the first day of the semester will be charged a late registration fee, which is non-refundable. Short-term classes will also have a late fee assessed according to the start date.
Exceptions: There are a few exceptions in which the late registration fee will not be applied.

Semester
A semester is a period of weeks during which courses are taught. NPC currently offers three semesters (Fall, Spring, Summer) of classes to its students. A semester is defined by dates on the academic calendar. Although most classes are taught on a semester basis, not all classes taught at NPC have to be started and completed during a semester, such as some internet courses.
Credit Hours
Credit hours are units of academic credit assigned to courses. These credits can be combined together to earn an associate degree or certificate. Not all courses offered at NPC have credit hours assigned to them and may not be applicable to a degree or certificate.
Academic Year
An academic year consists of three semesters starting in the fall and ending in the summer. An academic year crosses over more than one calendar year. Example: 2020 - 21 academic year.
Academic Calendar
NPC's academic calendar contains key dates important to every student for all semesters within one academic year. Information contained on this calendar includes semester start and end dates, registration dates, college closure dates, graduation, and more. These dates are for events college-wide, but may not list other important dates for students such as department or program deadlines.
FORMS OF PAYMENT
NPC accepts the following forms of payment: cash; credit/debit card through MasterCard, Discover, VISA; e-Cashier Payment Plan; cashier's check/money order; personal check* (must be pre-printed with the account holder's name, Arizona address and have a greater check number than 199).
