SECTION D

Enrolment Agreement and Declaration

Dear Applicant,

We congratulate you on choosing Northern Caribbean University (NCU) to further your educational pursuits. Northern Caribbean University (NCU) is a private, liberal-arts institution, located in Jamaica, which is owned and operated by the Jamaica Union Conference and the Atlantic Caribbean Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists. Since our establishment in 1907, the university emphasizes the development of a sound Christian character and applies Christian standards to deportment, moral conduct and attire on all its campuses. The following is a short list of some of the regulations with which you will be expected to comply. The complete student guide is available on our website at http://www.ncu.edu.jm.

Your attendance at classes, assemblies and chapel services is required, as these opportunities are important for interaction, holistic development and dissemination of information. You will be held accountable for your attendance at these sessions and may be sanctioned for inconsistent attendance.

In keeping with the Seventh-day Adventist philosophy, the wearing of jewellery is prohibited on all campuses. Exceptions are made for wedding tokens/bands and wrist watches.

Modesty in dress is a requirement, hence students are expected to wear loose fitting pants/skirts without undue exposure from splits/rips and other inappropriate openings in the fabric. Shirts and blouses should cover the midriff and underarm areas. Pants are to be worn at waist and appropriately secured.

While NCU supports expression and individuality, cosmetics and hair dyes must be tasteful. As such colourful cosmetics, outlandish hair dyes and hairstyles are prohibited. In addition, both males and females must ensure that their hair is properly groomed and modestly kept at all times.

NB. The university reserves all right to amend rules and regulations as well as take appropriate actions for infractions of citizenship guidelines, unsatisfactory spirit, misconduct and scholarship.

I pledge to co-operate with and uphold the standards and regulations of Northern Caribbean University.

I hereby declare that I have read and understood the instructions and all statements made are, to the best of my knowledge, true and complete.

How can I submit my application to NCU?

You have a couple of options when it comes to submitting your application to Northern Caribbean University. You can choose to apply online or submit a printed application form. If you opt for the online application, you can easily complete the form through the university’s website. For those who prefer a traditional approach, you can print the application form, fill it out, and return it to any NCU campus. Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that all sections are completed using BLOCK LETTERS to facilitate a smooth processing of your application.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once your application is submitted, the admissions team will review it to ensure all required documents are included. If you are accepted, you will be notified and will need to complete a medical assessment to finalize your registration. For nursing students, it is important to complete this medical assessment before acceptance is granted. You can expect to hear back regarding your application status within a reasonable timeframe, so keep an eye on your email for updates.

Are there any housing requirements for students under 18?

Yes, students who are under the age of eighteen (18) are required to live on campus. This is to ensure their safety and provide them with a supportive environment as they transition into university life. These students will enter into a fixed-term license agreement for their housing. Additionally, international students who are under twenty-one (21) years old and in their first year are also required to live on campus. This policy helps maintain a community atmosphere that can be beneficial for young students.

Common mistakes

Filling out the NCU Application form can be straightforward, but many applicants make common mistakes that can delay their acceptance. One frequent error is failing to complete all sections of the form. Incomplete forms can lead to processing delays. Ensure every section is filled out using block letters as instructed.

Another common mistake is not providing the required documents. Applicants often forget to include essential items like their birth certificate or TRN. Missing documents can hinder the application process. Always double-check the list of required documents before submitting your application.

Many applicants also overlook the payment of the application fee. It is crucial to submit proof of payment along with the application. Each category of student has a different fee structure, so make sure to pay the correct amount and include the receipt.

Some individuals make the mistake of not indicating their preferred programme of study clearly. When listing options, be specific and ensure that they align with the programmes offered at NCU. Ambiguity can lead to confusion during the admissions process.

Not providing accurate contact information is another mistake. Applicants should ensure that their phone numbers and email addresses are correct. This information is vital for communication regarding the application status.

Additionally, applicants sometimes forget to mention any disabilities that may require accommodation. If applicable, clearly indicate your needs in the designated section. This information helps the university provide necessary support during your studies.

Lastly, many applicants do not follow up after submitting their application. It is wise to contact the admissions office to confirm receipt of your application and all accompanying documents. Proactive communication can help address any issues early in the process.
