Early action is stressed as classes fill quickly. NECF will publish on its course schedule select college partners' courses that are offered at area locations. Students who would like to take additional courses at a college partner's campus should consult the appropriate college partner's course schedule. Recommended Course Load NECF has four semesters per academic year. Classes held during the fall and spring terms typically meet one evening per week for twelve weeks.
Classes held during the winter and summer terms typically meet two evenings per week for six weeks.
Though not required, it is recommended that students in the degree and certificate programs take a minimum of one course per term. NECF recommends a course load of two courses during the fall and spring terms and one course during the winter and summer for a total of six courses per academic year. Course Cancellation NECF reserves the right to cancel courses in which enrollment is below an acceptable minimum. If a course is canceled, every effort will be made to contact students about the cancellation and possible course substitutions. Textbooks for canceled courses may be returned, if in perfect condition, for a full refund.
