Northcentral University offers interest-free monthly payment plans that cover the cost of direct NCU tuition and fees for each term.

Participants pay a processing fee and percentage of the tuition prior to the beginning of the course(s) followed by either two or three mid-monthly payments. This financing option does not cover the cost of books and other educational expenses.

Three Easy Steps

Step 1

Request course(s) through your Learner site.
Note: New Enrollees must pay for their first course in order to access their Learner site. Payment for the first course is done by logging into the Application Form using their pin and email address on file.
