Tuition and Fees
AFFORDABLE TUITION POLICY
New Covenant has the philosophy that a quality, spiritual education that trains an individual for service to the Lord Jesus Christ should not leave that individual with an oppressive financial debt.
Because of this, we have not sought the secular accreditation that leads to qualification for governmentguaranteed student loans and other government programs. Institutions using such loans generally charge the maximum tuition allowable, leaving students with a large amount of debt at the completion of their schooling. For those called to the ministry, it can be very difficult to obey God’s calling with this type of debt lingering over their finances; therefore, New Covenant Bible College elected an, independent accreditation through the National Bible College Association (NBCA) - http://www.n-b-c-a.com/.
Our approach is to provide the most affordable, quality, spiritual education that we can, as a ministry to the Lord and His servants.

FINANCIAL AID
The policy of the College is to provide an in-house, interest-free, student loan in the form of a “pay-as-you-go” program rather than requiring the student to pay the full tuition at the beginning of each semester.
If a student cannot pre-pay the course, he or she must discontinue attending classes. Continuance of the class may resume upon pre-payment of any successive course during the academic year. There are no provisions for partial payments.
An advantage of the programs provided at NCBC is the flexibility of schedule. Students can finish their programs of study or achieve their educational goals over a period of time convenient to them. Their own personal preferences, work schedules, and their own finances determine the speed at which they progress.
The graduation requirements for the conferring of diplomas and degree credits are as follows:
1. Each student must have completed all required course work in a chosen program prior to graduation. All students MUST have taken or transferred credits covering Program #1 subjects
