The minimum amount a resident can apply to their NSU ID Card is $1,200 per semester. If a resident chooses to apply additional funds to their card, they are able to do so at any time by going to the NSU Campus Card Office in the University Center.
If a balance exists on a resident’s declining balance plan at the end of the fall semester, the resident’s funds will roll over to the winter semester. Once the winter semester has ended, the remaining balance will no longer be available to the resident.
