Northwest Career College School Catalog - 2018

Financial Considerations
Each student enrolled in the programs below is entitled to one exam fee offered by the following organizations:
- AMT (for Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, Medical Administrative Assisting, and Phlebotomy
Technician programs)
- FSMTB (for Massage Therapy program only)
- NHA (for Medical Billing and Coding program only)
- PTCB (for Pharmacy Technician program only)
If a student fails their first attempt and needs to retake the certification exam, the student is responsible for
registering and paying for the exam. Student eligibility for any unused certification fees expire within six
months of graduation. NCC is not financially responsible for any additional attempts by the student.
A certification exam fee is not included and the requirement to sit for a certification exam prior to externship is
not applicable to Criminal Justice, Dental Administrative Assisting, or Paralegal Studies students.
Scheduling Considerations
Students whose programs have an Externship course are required to schedule their certification exam attempt
for a date prior to their externship start date (for Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, Medical Administrative
Assisting, Medical Billing and Coding, and Pharmacy Technician programs).
Phlebotomy Technician students are required to schedule their certification exam attempt for a date prior to
their last day of class and are required to pass the RPT certification exam in order to graduate.
Massage Therapy students are required to schedule their licensure exam for a date prior to their last day of 200-
level massage courses and are required to pass the exam in order to register for 300-level massage courses.
Disability Considerations
Students seeking testing accommodations under the ADA must contact the testing organization directly to
request accommodations. NCC will provide guidance to any student about the testing accommodations request
process upon request, but the student is responsible for completing any required application(s) and collecting
and submitting all documentation related to their disability requested by the testing organization. Please note,
NCC does not decide which testing accommodation requests are granted by the individual testing organizations,
nor does it provide support services during examinations.
Conduct Policy
NCC students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner while on campus, at an affiliate’s
location, and any other times they are wearing their NCC uniform. Examples of unprofessional behavior that
would constitute a violation of the student conduct policy include but are not limited to:
1. All forms of dishonesty including cheating, plagiarism, or forgery.
2. Theft, deliberate destruction, damage, misuse, or abuse of Institutional or private property.
3. Violence or threats of violence to students, employees, or affiliates of NCC.
4. Physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, intimidation, harassment, coercion, or other behavior that
endangers the physical or psychological health of another person.
