Office of Student Accounts

Tuition is due on the first day of the trimester. Student accounts that have not been paid by the first day of the trimester will be subject to Past Due Account Fees.

Student accounts office has gone green! They will no longer mail billing statements. Billing statements can be viewed under the student account via the MyNU Student Portal two weeks prior to term start, assuming the student has registered for class. This billing statement will show your expected charges, financial aid and balance due as of the date printed. These billing statements are subject to change and students are encouraged to view their student account via the MyNU Student Portal for the most current information.

Professional program waivers are not posted until the second week of the trimester. Prerequisite students are expected to pay the balance due, minus the estimated professional program waiver amount, by the first day of the trimester. Payment plans are available to interested students.

Prerequisite students should be aware that their student loan proceeds are split into two equal disbursements with half being received at the beginning of the trimester and the remainder being received at the midpoint of the trimester. This means that it is possible your refund will be less than indicated on the unofficial billing statement or that you may not be eligible for your refund until the second disbursement is received.

Many students expect to use their loan refunds for living expenses. In order to accommodate this need, you can opt for a tuition split. This allows for your tuition charges to be split in half and billed in conjunction with your loan disbursements. If you are interested in the tuition split option, you may pick up a request form during the second week of the trimester at the cashier window located on the second floor of Janse Hall.

Accounts not paid in full or signed up for a payment plan by the first day of the trimester are considered past due. It is important to keep your address current and to review your student account in the MyNU Student Portal.

Consequences of past due student accounts are as follows:

• Accounts not paid in full or signed up for a payment plan by the first day of the trimester will be subject to a $15 late payment fee.
• Accounts not paid in full by the 15th of the month will be subject to a 1.5% finance charge. This charge will be assessed on the 15th of each month until the balance is paid in full.
• A hold will be placed on your account by the Business Office. This will prevent you from registering for future trimesters, receiving your grades, and receiving your transcripts.
• Continued non-payment will result in your account being turned over to a collection agency and collection fees being added to your balance.

Fees are not refundable unless withdrawing prior to Week 1. To be eligible for a refund, the student must fill out an official withdrawal form in the Registration Office, obtain appropriate departmental signatures, and submit the completed withdrawal form to the Registrar. This procedure is the same for all programs. The refund policy for the Prerequisite program has different withdrawal deadlines since the program is comprised of “mini-terms.” Consult the Academic Bulletin for specific Prerequisite withdrawal deadlines.
