PURPOSE: To ensure timely payment of student tuition, fees, and other charges. The student must have a documented payment plan for the term/year. Payment or enrollment in one of NU's payment plans must be received by the University by the designated due date to avoid the student being assessed late fees and/or being blocked from attending classes, registering, or release of academic records.

DEFINITIONS: Documented payment plan: Either payment in full for the quarter or enrollment in one of NU's payment plans.

SCOPE: All students.

POLICY:

1. Full payment of tuition, residence hall fees, and other related charges are due by the beginning of each term. These methods of payment are accepted:

3. The student should bring to the attention of Student Accounts's Office staff any discrepancies in his/her tuition bill. If there is a billing problem, the student must pay the undisputed portion of the bill to avoid any additional late fees.
