The Bursar's Office is primarily responsible for billing students and collecting and depositing their payments. The office is also responsible for refunding student loan proceeds, after the funds are wired to NSU. The Bursar approves all refunds to students when payments exceed their tuition and fees.
The Financial Aid Office grants awards and approves loans based on the eligibility of the student. They determine the type and amount of each award or loan which is contained in the official award letter sent to students. The Financial Aid Office credits the funds to the student accounts after the borrower (student) has completed the application and endorsed the promissory note and other documents.
The Loan Disbursing Department of the Bursar's Office administers the refund when the student is properly registered for sufficient credit hours and has completed all other requirements for loan eligibility.

Payment is due at the time of registration and is considered past due 30 days after the start of the semester. An email will be sent to you 20 days after the first day of the semester reminding you of the approaching late fee date.
NSU accepts payment via credit card using Visa, Master Card, or American Express. Other acceptable forms of payment are personal checks, cashier's checks, money orders in US Dollars made payable to NSU, and wire transfers.

NSU does not mail paper bills. Billing statements are sent to you electronically in the middle of each month.
However, please remember that payment is due at the time of registration. It is recommended you pay your bill shortly after registration and do not wait to receive a statement in order to avoid late charges.
Payment is due in full at the time of registration. If the balance remains unpaid after 30 days, a Bursar Hold will be placed on your account and a $100.00 late fee will be assessed. The Bursar Hold will prevent you from viewing grades, registering for classes, and ordering transcripts or diplomas. If the balance remains unpaid after 90 days, the account will be transferred to NSU's Collections Department and a Collections Hold will be placed on your account. The delinquent account will eventually be transferred to an outside collections agency or attorney and collection fees will be added to the balance due.
Employers paying your tuition should send a letter authorizing the Bursar's Office to bill them for your tuition, fees, and other applicable costs. Please have your company send their letter to the following address:

The Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Online Payment Plan (the NSU Plan) is a payment option designed to provide budgetary assistance in meeting a student’s semester education expenses. NSU students, excluding international students, who wish to defer their payments for the semester, may enroll in an NSU Payment Plan. While payment for tuition, fees, and other institutional charges is due in full at the time of registration, sometimes students and families may need extra time to meet their financial obligations.
The NSU Payment Plan is available online as a payment option within the NSU eBill portal. A button "Enroll in Payment Plan" displays on the home page when you log into your NSU eBill account. Click the button, and the Payment Plan Enrollment page will appear. You will see the semester(s) for which you may enroll. Select the semester and enroll in the plan. Parents and guardians may also enroll in a payment plan on the student's behalf. For detailed information, visit NSU's payment plan page.
Review the enrollment eligibility criteria and status of your NSU account.
If you receive a message stating “no plan available,” you are not eligible for the selected semester/term. Review the NSU Payment Plan information and eligibility criteria.
Review your card and make sure you have:
Note: NSU accepts the following credit or gift cards: Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

Your form of payment determines how quickly the financial hold may be lifted. If your payment is made via credit card, cash, cashier's check, or money order, the hold will be removed the next business day. If you pay by paper check, the hold will be removed 10 business days after posting of the check by the Bursar's Office. Echeck payments will result in your hold being removed within five business days after posting by the Bursar's Office. If your account has been transferred to an outside collection agency or attorney, and you have paid your account in full including collection costs, please call the Bursar's Office at (954) 262-5200. The Bursar's Office will need to review your student account and verify if the financial hold can be removed.
A Bursar Hold prevents students from obtaining grades, registering for classes, and accessing the University RecPlex until all outstanding balances are paid in full. A Transcript/Diploma Hold will only prevent you from receiving a diploma or an official transcript; this kind of hold will not prevent you from registering.
Complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form and mail or fax the form to the Bursar's Office, along with a voided check (required). Please allow 2-4 business days for processing.
As loan amounts are usually higher than your cost of attendance, you have the option of returning any funds you do not need to NSU to be returned to the lender. Returning a refund to your lender will reduce your outstanding balance.
To return a refund issued to you from your NSU student account, submit a completed Authorization to Return Refund form to the Office of the University Bursar.
Online and Fax:
Make a Web Check or Credit Card Payment for any amount by logging into your SharkLink, WebSTAR, or NSU eBill account. Then fax a completed Authorization to Return Refund form to (954) 262-4131.
