To view your current account activity:
Undergraduate Day tuition is charged on a flat, per-term basis which includes the cost of each student’s normal academic curriculum requirements for that term. If a student decides to enroll in an additional course after the initial e-bill, any changes in costs will be reflected on the next billing statement.
Please note that billing statements are generated approximately 30 days after the initial billing statement. To view your current account activity, at any time, please follow these steps:
Programs that charge tuition at a flat, per-term basis, which includes the cost of each student’s normal academic curriculum requirements for that term, including Undergraduate Day programs and select Graduate programs, will typically not result in a tuition adjustment if you drop a course.

For additional information, visit the Policies page.
A financial hold is placed on a student account when a balance is still unpaid 30 days past the bill due date. A financial hold will prevent students from accessing their grades and completing registration-related activities. It will also prevent students from receiving their diploma or certificate.
Once added, the financial hold will not be removed until the balance is paid in full.
Further information about how to make a payment can be found here.
If you have any questions regarding your meal plan, please review the Husky Card Services website or contact Husky Card Services at [email protected].
If you have mailed a check payment to the university, please allow at least 10 to 15 business days for this payment to be processed and applied to the student’s account. You may monitor account updates in real-time via the Northeastern Student Hub.
Most 529 plans send checks directly to the university, based on an invoice supplied by the 529 holder. A copy of the e-bill is typically sufficient. There are a few plans that request that the university work with them as Third Party Payers. This means that we will have to invoice the 529 plan and will anticipate, on the student account directly, the amount to be sent to the university. These 529 plans include the Florida PrePaid Plan.
While students and families need to make every effort to pay by the billing due date, families experiencing financial challenges have until the first day of classes to arrange for payment in full or secure an approved financing option. If you have questions regarding your billing statement or available payment and financing options, please contact us.
In many cases, the earliest that an alternative/private loan lender will send their first loan payment is the start of the term. Provided your loan has been approved and certified, and the net amount due on your account by the initial due date is zero, a late fee will not be assessed. Should there be delays in your loan payment beyond the first week of the semester, please contact us. Additional information regarding late fees can be found here.
Northeastern University has implemented a new policy regarding late fees.
If the balance on a student’s account remains unpaid, 30 days after the initial bill due date the University will impose a late fee of $150 on the student’s account.
If the student’s account balance remains unpaid after the initial late fee is assessed, the University will impose an additional 1% late charge once a month, until the balance is paid.
If a student or payer wishes to dispute a late fee assessment, they may review and submit the Late Fee Removal Request form.
Please see the chart below for amounts.
| Fee Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Late Fee | $150 |
| Late Charge | 1% of the student’s account balance (charged once per month, until the balance is paid) |
| Returned Check Fee/Stop Payment | $25 |
To enroll in a payment plan, follow these steps:
The enrollment fee is $45.00 per payment plan, which is required at the time of enrollment and is non-refundable.
The login links differ between a student and an Authorized User (parent, family). If you are an Authorized user attempting to login through the student’s link, then you will receive an error message.
If an Authorized User wants to have access to their student’s payment plan account, the STUDENT will need to log in to their payment plan account.
Once the STUDENT has logged into their account, under the Quick Links on the Account Summary tab:
The authorized user will receive a verification email at the email address that is designated. Once they verify their email, they will be taken to the Payment Plan page to create their password. Using their email address and password they can use direct login to gain access to your student account information and enroll in a plan.
Students or a student’s Authorized User can enroll in a Payment Plan. If the student enrolls, the student is the owner of the plan; if an Authorized User enrolls, that individual is the owner of the plan. This is important because only the owner of the plan can change the payment method.
Both the student and ALL of the student’s Authorized Users will receive Payment Plan notifications by email. However, either user is able to make a payment towards the payment plan even when they are not the payment plan owner. To pay towards a plan that you do not own, click on “Make a Payment”, and select the plan you wish to contribute towards. You can either “Pay Next Installment” or “Pay Another Amount”.
Notes
No, the FERPA authorization for parents/guardians to access a NEU student account does not apply to Flywire Payment Plan accounts. The student must complete a separate FERPA authorization for parents/guardians to access their Flywire Payment Plan account to enroll in their own plan.

If you are enrolled in the Summer 2 session only, you should enroll upon receiving the notification email from Flywire. The plans are budget-based. If you don’t know your final student account balance, you should enter an estimated balance when enrolling. Once your Summer 2 account balance has been finalized, you should update the amount of the plan to reflect the final balance due. Payment plan balances do not update automatically if your account balance changes.

529 plans, legally known as “qualified tuition plans,” are sponsored by states, state agencies, or educational institutions and are authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The person who opens the 529 plan account is called the account holder or the saver. The person the account is opened for is called the beneficiary or the student. The account holder and the beneficiary can be the same person. The 529 account owner maintains ownership of the account until the money is withdrawn. There are no income restrictions on 529 plan accounts.
Northeastern University accepts funds from all 529 plans. Funds will be transferred directly to Northeastern, by electronic payment or by U.S. mail, depending on the methods offered by the individual 529 plan.
By present U.S. tax code regulations, plan funds must be used for qualified education expenses. Eligible expenses generally include tuition, fees, housing and food that are charged to a student in relation to attending Northeastern.
To find out more information about your state’s plan, the National Association of State Treasurers created the College Savings Plan Network, which provides links to many 529 plan websites.
Benefits to enrolling and utilizing a 529 plan include:
To enroll in a 529 plan, you must be a US resident, age 18 or over, with a U.S. mailing and legal address, and a Social Security number or Tax ID. For further guidance, contact a 529 savings plan administrator.

If your scholarship provider requires verification of enrollment, please contact the Office of the University Registrar. If they require an invoice, please send us the specific requirements and we’ll send the invoice as requested.
Schools in Massachusetts are required, by Commonwealth Law, to enroll all qualified students in a health insurance plan that meets or exceeds state minimum requirements. NUSHP is the university’s student health plan which is administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts and exceeds the minimum required by the state at an affordable rate.
Students may waive this plan if they can provide information that they are enrolled in a comparable domestic health plan. The waiver is completed by the student via the Northeastern University Student Hub and must be done by the deadline. The waiver is not available on the Family Portal.
For questions regarding the NUSHP waiver process, or for additional information, please email [email protected] or visit the NUSHP website.
Once you have been billed the health plan fee you will be able to submit a waiver request via the Student Hub.
If your NUSHP waiver request is approved, the NUSHP charge will be automatically removed from your student account within approximately 2 to 4 business days. Students are encouraged to resolve any outstanding balance on their account by the due date. To determine the amount due, deduct the NUSHP charge from the outstanding balance.
