Subject: NRCC Sexual Harassment Policy
Sent: Monday, September 11, 2023 8:47 AM

Dear Students,

The NRCC Sexual Harassment Policy is available here: https://www.nr.edu/nrready/pdf/svp.pdf. Additionally, the policy along with resources for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence are included in the Student Handbook: https://www.nr.edu/sh/. As a member of the NRCC campus community, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the policy. A brief overview is included below:

The Title IX federal law prohibits sexual discrimination and sexual harassment on college campuses. Prohibited conduct includes:

• Sexual harassment
• Sexual assault
• Sexual exploitation
• Domestic violence
• Dating violence
• Stalking

Sexual harassment also includes creating a hostile environment through unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it affects a student’s educational experience. This can include unwelcome sexual comments. The law also prohibits retaliation towards individuals who report alleged prohibited conduct.

The college will investigate all allegations and reports of prohibited conduct.

Reports of sexual harassment and prohibited conduct may be reported to me, as the Dean of Student Services and Title IX Coordinator for Students, or to John Bowler, Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Students (Office 115 at the Christiansburg site, 540-674-3600, ext. 4418, jbowler@nr.edu).

Please do not hesitate to reach out to John or me with any questions you may have.

Dear Students,

You may begin using your financial aid to purchase textbooks and supplies from the NRCC Bookstore. You may purchase textbooks in-person at the bookstore in Dublin or online and select home delivery or delivery to the Christiansburg site.

Here is a link to the Bookstore website: www.newrivershop.com. Financial aid textbook purchases end at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Friday, September 8 (this is also the last day that you can return textbooks for a refund; a receipt is required for all returns or exchanges).

Below is the NRCC Financial Aid Bookstore Policy. The list of eligible electronic items has been expanded to include tablets and laptops to support remote and online learning. Students with enough financial aid may select one of these items for purchase.

NRCC Financial Aid Bookstore Policy
Students may use excess financial aid in the College Bookstore to purchase only required books and supplies for registered courses deemed eligible for financial aid for the term. A course would be deemed ineligible for financial aid if any of the four following circumstances exist:

• The course does not apply to the student’s academic program;
• The course has already been repeated once after having been successfully completed; Successful completion is defined as any grade other than an F, U, R, or W;
• The course is developmental and the student has already attempted 30 or more developmental credits; and/or
• The course is a basic skills class (BSK) that is below the postsecondary level.

Supplies can include: (Students must have funding available)

• Required tools sold by the bookstore. Tools required for a course should be stated on the course syllabus.
• Supplies up to $100 (notebooks, pencils, book bags, etc.)
• Clothing/Uniforms required by your program of study.

Electronic items that can be purchased with available funding include:

• One tablet and keyboard (plus warranty) up to $850; or
• One laptop (plus warranty) up to $850
  Note: Only one of the above electronic items can be purchased every two (2) years.
• Headphones under $50
• One Graphing Calculator every two (2) years

Any other electronic item is considered not course related and may not be purchased with financial aid. Other Items not approved for purchase with financial aid include but are not limited to apparel, food, cell phones, gift items, and gift/prepaid cards.

During the book purchase period, books and supplies purchased using financial aid cannot be returned to the College Bookstore for cash. Amounts for returned items must be credited back to the aid that paid for the books and supplies on the student’s account.

If you have questions regarding your financial aid, please email finaid@nr.edu or call the Financial Aid office at 540-674-3615. Additional bookstore information is available at https://www.bkstr.com/newriverccstore.

Fall classes begin August 23!

Subject: Fall Tuition and Payment Plan Options
Sent: Monday, June 26, 2023 9:38 AM

Dear Students,

As you plan for fall classes, I want to make sure you know how to access the following:

1. Your tuition and fees
2. Available tuition payment plan options and how to apply for one, if needed

Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees for fall 2023 will be visible in the Student Information System (SIS) on Saturday, July 1. The amount due is based on the number of credits in which you are currently enrolled. Additionally, a tuition bill will be sent to your VCCS email account and mailed to your home address the week of July 10. All students, regardless of financial aid, scholarships, ACCE awards, etc. receive a tuition bill.

Notice: For the period beginning July 1, 2022, tuition and fees will be calculated at the rate in place for the 2022-23 academic year. These rates are subject to change and could be increased for 2023-24 should that action be taken by the State Board for Community Colleges at their July meeting.

Follow these steps to view your tuition and fees:

1. Go to www.nr.edu
2. Log in to MyAccounts with your VCCS credentials
3. Click on Student Information System (SIS), then click on My Student Information
4. Your tuition and fees will appear in the Finances section (menu and navigation options are on the left)

Tuition Payment Plans
Tuition payment plans are available each semester. The first day you can enroll in a fall payment plan is Saturday, July 1. Early enrollment allows for the maximum number of payments. Details about the payment plans, enrollment dates, payment amounts, etc. are available at: https://www.nr.edu/business/pp.php.

NRCC partners with Nelnet Campus Commerce to let you pay your tuition and fees over time, allowing you to plan for tuition instead of paying for it all at once. Here are a few perks of setting up a payment plan:

Easy Enrollment
It’s easy to set up a payment plan – simply click on the link below or click on “Apply for a Payment Plan” from your Student Center in SIS.
https://mycollegepaymentplan.com/nr

Flexible Payment Options
Choose your preferred payment method and add authorized parties (like parents or gua rdians) to make payments on your behalf.

Stay Informed
Sign up to receive alerts, messages, emails, and more – so you’ll never get taken off guard by a payment or due date.

Interest-Free Payments
Split your tuition into convenient monthly payments with zero interest.

Questions?
Contact the Business Office at businessoffice@nr.edu or 540-674-3605.

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!

NRCC Heals is a resource available to students who are in recovery for substance abuse disorders. This resource is also available to students and NRCC employees who support friends and family members who are in recovery. Michelle Bryant is a Recovery Support Specialist and will be working at NRCC on Thursdays, and she is available to meet with individuals one-on-one and in group settings. The mission of NRCC Heals is to provide the following:

• Peer Support Services
• Harm Reduction Education
• Naloxone REVIVE! Training
• Community Outreach
• Recovery Meetings
• Scholarships
• Recovery Fitness (see below for more details)

Michelle will be located in G40 on Thursdays, and she may be contacted at mbryant@wcc.vccs.edu or 276-223-4837.

NRCC Recovery Fitness
Recovery Fitness is an additional resource to support individuals in recovery and those supporting others’ recovery efforts. This is a fun workout that is held on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. in 162-B Godbey Hall. We hope to see you there!

Please feel free to contact Michelle or me if you have any questions about these resources.

Take care,
Dee Dee

Subject: 1098 T Information
Sent: Friday, January 27, 2023 9:01 AM

All Students:

Your 1098-T tax form has been mailed to the mailing address listed in the Student Information System. This form is used to report information about student’s tuition to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as required by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.

This form is informational only and provides the dollar amount of cash, check, and credit card payments made for tuition in the current tax year (2022). REMINDER: You must have incurred out-of-pocket tuition expenses to qualify for a 1098-T.

If you are a student and have not received your 1098-T or need additional copies, you can obtain these copies by going directly to the TRA website at https://tra.maximus.com. There is no additional charge for these web copies. Students should click the “First Time Students” button and follow the directions.

If you have issues or problems with your login, you can receive assistance by using the “Student Help” link on the left hand side of the website.

If you have any general questions about your 1098-T, please contact the NRCC Business office at 540-674-3605 or businessoffice@nr.edu.

Take care,
Dee Dee
