Payment Plan Details
-
Students may enroll in a semester payment plan during the enrollment periods published above. Once an enrollment period for a particular plan has passed, you can no longer enroll in that plan.
-
The Payment Plan requires scheduled payments (installments) on fixed due dates. Installments are automatically charged to the student's selected payment method on their due dates (credit card or electronic check drawn from a U.S. bank account).
-
Students may be enrolled in only one plan at a time during the semester.
-
Students whose installment payment declines will incur a $25 declined payment fee and a hold on the student account. Two (2) declined payments render the Payment Plan subject to cancellation.
-
The student may assign a person as an authorized user to access their eBill account. The authorized user may enroll the student in the Payment Plan to make payments on the student's behalf. If a parent, guardian, or other person will be making payments on the student's behalf as an authorized user, NSU requires the student to complete the Release of Information (ROI) Consent for the authorized person. For instructions on how to set up an authorized user in eBill, visit our NSU eBill FAQ.
-
In the event of a change in either costs or funding sources after enrollment in the Payment Plan, the plan installment amounts will be recalculated. After recalculation, the balance will be redistributed to any remaining installments.
Additional Payment Plan Resources
The student must have designated you as an authorized user in NSU eBill before you will be able to enroll in an NSU Payment Plan on the student's behalf.
- Access NSU eBill at nova.edu/nsuebill and go to eBill in the authorized user section.
- Log in using your email and password.
- Click on the "Enroll in Payment Plan" button on the NSU eBill home page.
Did you know?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of students’ records and prohibits the university from disclosing
or discussing personal information with anyone other than the student. Therefore,
students should ensure that their authorized NSU eBill users are given consent to discuss information by also completing the Release
of Information Consent in our secure portal at nova.edu/roi.
Before each installment is due:
- Review your credit card information. If you need to make changes, refer to our guide below.
- Make sure you have sufficient funds available (e.g., your bank does not have a cap, or you have set up a limit of withdrawal)
- E-check payments must be linked to a personal checking account (no credit card or third-party checks, no saving or investment account checks)
