Consumer Information
Title IV requires institutions participating in financial aid programs to disclose specific information to all students. This page has been created to comply with the disclosure requirements under Title IV.
Attendance Verification Required for Financial Aid
Starting Fall 2022, attendance verification will be required for financial aid disbursement. At the beginning of each semester, before financial aid is disbursed, the University must be able to document that you have begun attendance in all your courses. During the first two weeks of class, professors will be asked to electronically report if you attended all your courses. If you are not reported as attending your courses, your financial aid will not be released.
CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Act
In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Congress passed the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Aid, which provides $6.3 billion in direct support to institutions. NCCU is a recipient of funding from the CARES Act.
