Frequently Asked Questions
When is tuition due?
All tuition and fees are due before the beginning of the semester. If you are receiving a loan, grant, or scholarship, you will have two weeks after classes begin to remit payment on your outstanding balance.
When is my housing rent due?
Residence Hall charges are due at the beginning
of the semester. A student may elect to pay in equal installments over
the semester with the first installment due at the beginning of the semester.
Subsequent payments are due the 15th of each month thereafter.
When are late fees and holds applied?
If you have an unpaid balance, tuition late
fees are applied to your account every month during the semester. The
first late fee is $20 and thereafter they are $10 up to a maximum of $50
per semester.
Housing late fees are applied once a month ($20 each time) after the due date if the remaining housing balance is not paid in accordance with the housing payment policy.
Holds are placed on student accounts that have balances. These holds will prevent the student from enrolling, receiving a transcript, and participating in various student activities.
What if I overpay on my account and should receive a refund?
General refund disbursement will be in mid September
for Fall and in mid February for Spring. Any credits to your account after
these dates will be processed on an as needed basis.
What if I decide not to attend NSU after I have already enrolled?
If a student withdraws during the first two
weeks of school, he/she will receive a 100% refund. After the first two
weeks of classes, there are no refunds.
What if I have financial aid?
Grants, loans and scholarships will be applied to the
student's account during the second week of classes. Any financial aid
credited above the actual charges will be refunded to the student within
one week of the financial aid application.
What is a Talon charge account?
The Talon charge account allows you to charge your books and supplies at the RiverHawk Shoppe. You may also use the Talon charge account at the university mail services, Fitness Center, commuter meal plans, and the Copy Zone. A student may use the Talon charge account to assist with start-up expenses and purchases throughout the semester. The student has to Opt In to the program.
