FAQs

When is my bill due?

Financial arrangement of the balance due on your student account must be completed by the Friday preceding the first day of the semester.

What is considered a “financial arrangement”?

By the due date, the student account must be covered by any combination of the following:

  • Payment in full
  • Monthly payment plan
  • Military benefits
  • Financial aid
What is a HOLD?

A HOLD is put on an account if there is a balance due without a financial arrangement that will pay the total balance due. The HOLD prevents the release of official transcripts or diplomas, prevents changes to the current semester schedule and blocks re-enrollment for future semesters.

How do I pay my account balance online?

Please review your student account by logging into your NNU portal. Under the Student tab select “Pay Bill” then “My Account Balance.”

What if someone else is paying my bill?

It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that information regarding payment amounts and deadlines are communicated to the person who will be paying the account, including parents. Only the student will receive reminders and notices on an NNU email or assigned campus mailbox. Using our payment provider, Flywire, students may grant access to the payment portal for any Authorized User they choose.
