Articulation Agreements



Today's reality is that university students go to college, and college students go to university, and no one wants to waste their precious time (and money!) studying the same thing twice. That's why NSCC accepts credits from many other colleges and universities, and why a long list of universities accept NSCC credits toward university degrees.

NSCC has agreements in place with excellent schools across Canada and in the U.S. (they're called Articulation Agreements), that allow our students to gain advanced standing in a wide variety of university programs using NSCC credits. Where Two + Two Agreements exist, a two year NSCC Diploma can be recognized as the first two years of a four year university degree.

Program-specific costs

Supplies and Textbooks

As part of your admissions package, you will be advised of the additional supplies that are associated with your program and that you are responsible for purchasing. These may include textbooks, resource materials, protective clothing, safety footwear, art supplies, etc. This information is available through NSCC Admissions, or by calling the campus where a particular program is offered.

Co-op fee

All students enrolled in a program with a mandatory Co-op Education component are required to pay a non-refundable registration fee in addition to regular tuition fees at the time of tuition payment. The fee for Co-op Programs in 2007-08 is $360. If the Co-op Placement is an elective, the fee is payable twenty days in advance of the commencement of placement. For both mandatory and elective Co-op Placements, the Co-op fee is refunded if you are unable to obtain an approved Co-op Placement, but is not refunded if you drop, withdraw, or are asked to resign from your Co-op Work Term.

Tuition payment schedule

The balance of tuition - after the deduction of the Confirmation fee - is payable in two installments as follows:

• First installment - 50% twenty business days before the start of the fall semester [August 1, 2008]. To calculate total amount due at this time add Student Association fees and Health & Dental benefits plan as applicable;

• Second installment - 50% within five days of the commencement of the winter semester [January 9, 2009].

When students receive Student Assistance from Canada Student Loan to cover tuition, the full tuition plus the Health & Dental Benefits and Student Association fees for the academic year are deducted from the first, main, loan disbursement.

These deadline dates can be deferred only if you can provide documentation that you are going to receive a student loan or your tuition is being paid by a sponsoring agency.

Payment of tuition

Payment of tuition may be made in person at any NSCC campus.

Payment of tuition can be made by:

• Cheque; payable to NSCC

• Money Order; payable to NSCC, or

• Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)

• Interac

We advise, for reasons of safety and security that students not plan to pay tuition by cash.

Tuition refund

Tuition refunds are available according to the scale below, providing you formally withdraw early in the program. A formal withdrawal requires that you write a letter or complete a withdrawal form that is available through the Centre for Student Success. Your refund does not include the confirmation fee.

• Before first day of class: full refund

• During first two weeks of either term: 95% of term amount

• After second week of either term: no refund

If you have received a student loan or had your tuition paid by a sponsoring agency, the appropriate refund will be sent directly to your lending institution or sponsor. If a program is canceled after the start of an academic year all fees previously paid, including the confirmation fee, will be refunded to you.

Millennium excellence award program - National in-course awards

The Foundation has three types of national in-course awards:

• Up to 100 $5,000 scholarships renewable for one additional year upon maintenance of a B+ GPA and continued demonstration of the leadership, innovation and service to the community for which the student was originally selected.

• Up to 200 $4,000 scholarships renewable for one additional year upon maintenance of a B+ GPA and continued demonstration of the leadership, innovation and service to the community for which the student was originally selected.

High School Programs

Parents as Career Coaches

Helping young people make smart choices is a challenge faced by many parents.  And many parents say their teens just don't listen.  That maybe true when it comes to clothing, music, hairstyles, or their choice of friends.  But experience tells us teenagers do listen to career planning advice from their parents.

If you'd like to learn how to be a better coach, why not sign up for a Parents as Career Coaches workshop in your area.  The workshop is led by professional Career Counsellors and will provide you with a better understanding of:

• How to help your kids find work they love

• How career planning builds resilience in a changing world

• The opportunities and challenges of today's labor market

• Practical suggestions to help your child make a successful transition from high school to post-secondary education or into the workplace.

Visit Parents as Career Coaches for more information.

Test Drive

Test drive is your chance to find out what it's like to be a student at NSCC, Nova Scotia's College. Pick the program that interests you most from the 100 plus programs offered by NSCC. As Test Drives are dependent on the student meeting and talking with current students, Test Drives are only available between October-March.

Once you have arranged your Test Drive, you will be matched with a current student in that program; you will go to their classes, shops and labs; and you will have the opportunity to ask questions to other students and faculty.
