4. Pay Tuition & Fees
Tuition is due on the first day of the trimester. Billing statements can be viewed via the MyNU Student Portal two weeks before the trimester begins, as long as you’ve registered for classes. This billing statement will show your expected charges, financial aid and balance due as of the date printed.
The Office of Student Accounts offers payment plans to students who are unable to pay their bill in full by the first day, dividing the balance into four equal payments. Contact Student Accounts for more details about due dates and fees or to sign up for a plan. Accepted payment methods include cash, check, money order and credit card.
For more information about tuition, fees and payment options, please visit the Student Accounts FAQs. Here, you’ll find detailed answers to common questions and resources to help you manage your payments effectively. The Office of Student Accounts can assist you with additional inquires at 630-889-6557 or by emailing the Student Accounts Coordinator at [email protected].
