Non-Discrimination
The school admits students without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, age, disability, or any other factor prohibited by law.
Admissions Policy
Students should apply for admission as soon as possible in order to be accepted for a specific program and starting dates.
The following items must be completed at the time of application:
- Application for Admission
- High school transcripts or proof of GED
- Student Financial Agreement or financial loan documentation if student is seeking alternative funding
- Payment of $50 application fee (one-time, non-refundable)
State Requirements
For full-time degree students, the following is required:
- Provide proof of required immunizations
- Provide proof of hospitalization insurance
State law in Massachusetts requires that all full-time students in a degree program have hospitalization insurance. Full-time students have to certify/verify their hospitalization insurance or obtain coverage prior to starting classes. As such, all full-time students are required to submit a waiver to the Registrar by the 30th day after their start date. If no waiver is received, the student is automatically enrolled in the NECF health plan and charged the prevailing rate on a term-by-term basis. Once purchased, this insurance is not refundable.
The school reserves the right to reject applicants if the items listed above are not successfully completed.
Candidates for admission must have earned a high school diploma or its equivalent prior to matriculation to NECF. High school seniors may apply for admission but acceptance before high school graduation is contingent upon the receipt of notification of satisfactory completion of high school requirements or GED.
