Nova Southeastern University Parent Guide
The University Bursar’s Office
The Office of the University Bursar is responsible for billing students, collecting payments, setting up payment and deferment plans, issuing refunds from excess financial aid funds, and verifying students’ eligibility for a student loan.
Please be aware of the following policies
- Registration will be processed unless there is a hold on the student’s account.
- Electronic bills are sent the middle of each month via email to the student’s NSU email address. No paper bills are sent. Students can authorize additional users to receive an NSU eBill notification by signing the person on as an Authorized User.
- If a student owes a balance 30 days after the start of the term, a hold and a $100.00 late fee will be placed on the account. This hold prevents future registrations, the viewing of grades, and access to the RecPlex at the University Center.
- If a balance exists after 90 days, the account will be placed in collections.
Method of Payment
NSU accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express as well as payments made by traveler’s checks, cashier’s checks, personal checks, money orders, and wire transfer. International checks must be in U.S. funds only and drawn on a U.S. bank. For details, visit Payment Policy.
Payment Plans
Payment for tuition, fees, and other NSU charges are due in full at the time of registration. However, the NSU Office of the University Bursar offers a variety of payment plan options to assist students and their families in paying the balance. For information on 3-month and 10-month payment plans, visit the bursar web pages.
Florida Prepaid College Plan
NSU accepts and bills the Florida Prepaid College Plan for tuition, fees, and dorm costs. However, the plans are based on the tuition rates of the tax assisted Florida public colleges and universities. The difference between NSU tuition and fee costs and the allocations through the Florida Prepaid College Plan is the sole responsibility of the student. If a student is on the unrestricted plan, the student must designate a dollar amount for up to the cost of tuition and fees. Students new to NSU must contact Florida Prepaid to authorize payments to NSU. Additionally, each term, the student must submit a copy of the front and back of the ID card with a signed statement indicating the amount to be invoiced.
