Second, through Sallie Mae, you may be eligible for the Career Training Loan to help defray your tuition costs. Third, your company may have or be willing to set up a direct billing arrangement with NECF for you and other employees.

Can I transfer credits into NECF from another college?
Yes, NECF accepts transfer credits from most regionally accredited institutions. Once you have officially matriculated into an NECF program, NECF´s Registrar can then evaluate your transfer credits. When transferring credits into NECF, we require an official transcript, sealed and forwarded to the NECF Registrar´s Office. Transcripts in any language other than English must be translated through the Center for Educational Documentation. Also all foreign transcripts whether in English or not must be processed by the Center for Educational Documentation. Information regarding this organization may be obtained by contacting an academic advisor or by logging on to www.cedevaluations.com.
I am not sure if I am ready to go back to college. What do you recommend I take as my first class?
Depending on your concentration, there are several options for a first course. If you would like to brush up on your PC skills, Computer Concepts is a great place to start. This course is required in all concentrations. Fundamentals of Banking or Fundamentals of Financial Services are excellent courses if you have recently begun working in the financial services industry. They provide an overview of the history, purpose, and function of banking or the financial services industry.
