The Minimum Class Size Agreement Form MUST be filled in by applicants or students who are matriculating into NU in any given Academic Year. The purpose of this agreement is to inform students of NU’s policy regarding the minimum number of students required to make up a class. As of Academic Year (AY) 2012, a class size consists of a minimum of ten (10) students. In the event where students do not make up a class, they will be required to take the following action:

Change to an Alternate Program
A situation may arise where the number of students who are about to transition into their Major is such that they are not able to make up a class. In this case, students will be required to Major into another program of their choice where class sizes meet the required minimum. This policy will also apply at any given time after students have commenced taking their Major courses.

Payment plans

Northrise University offers four (4) payment plans to give students alternative ways to pay for tuition fees. Take advantage of these and more tuition and financial options to create a financial plan that provides convenient ways to pay for your tuition, other fees and educational expenses. To avoid any inconveniences, please plan ahead of time so that by the payment due date – based on the Payment Plan chosen (see below) – your tuition fees would have already been paid. Contact the Accounts Office at accounts@northrise.net for more details.

Full Tuition (FT) Payment Plan
This is a plan where students pay for their course (s) in full at the beginning of each Semester or Study Period (SP), including courses taken during double up periods for the Center for Professional studies (CPS).

Study Period (SP) – Applicable to CPS (Evening) Students Only
This option allows a student to pay a prorated amount at the beginning of each Study Period in a given AY for CPS students only. Tuition will be paid per Study Period based on the tuition fee amount, the number of courses to be taken in an AY, and the duration of the course. This allows the student to pay 6 equal installments in a given academic year. Note: Mandatory fees must be paid in Periods 1,3 and 5.
Prorated Payment Plan (Applicable to DAY and DEL students only)
The Pro-Rated Payment Plan (PPP), allows a student to settle their tuition fees in Three (3) installments as follows;

First Installment: 34% of total (Courses Fees plus Mandatory Fees) should be paid at the beginning of the Semester
Second Installment: 33% of total (Course Fees) should be paid by the end of the 5th week
Third Installment: 33% of total Course Amount Due should be paid by the end of the 10th week .

Half Course (HC) Payment Plan
Students pay half of the tuition fees for the course(s) plus “other fees” at the beginning of the Semester or Study Period
For DAY & DEL students the second half should be paid by the end of the 7th week of the course respectively.
For CPS students, the other half is required by the end of the 4th week of the course.
PLEASE NOTE: that if a student fails to pay by the respective dates, they cannot continue the course(s). The fees paid this far will cover the classes attended to that point and those course (s) would need to be redone at the regular rate or fee.
Students are free to change to another Payment Plan at the beginning of a new Semester or Study Period
