Payment Methods

Full payment of tuition, residence hall fees, and other related charges are due prior to the start of the term as specified on the original bill. A past due balance may result in prevention of registration or grade release. Payments will be accepted for billed charges only. The university is not able to process payments for more than the balance due on the student’s account.

Direct Payments to the University

Students and families using 529 plans to cover educational costs should reach out to their 529 provider to initiate the process of withdrawing funds.

Many providers require a copy of the billing statement to determine eligible expenses or specific line-item costs. Once a billing statement becomes available, please submit this documentation to your provider. If you are seeking preliminary estimates of tuition, fees, and/or room and board costs, please visit our website. Should additional information be necessary beyond the billing statement, please email us at [email protected].

Payments from 529 plans should be sent to the following address. Please ensure that the student’s full name and NU ID are included on the check.

Northeastern University offers monthly payment plans, which are administered through Flywire.

The monthly payment plan allows you to divide your educational costs into smaller, more manageable, installments. In using this plan, it can reduce your need to borrow, thereby, reducing the overall cost of education and can be combined with your financial aid award or other financing options. Because the payment plan is not a loan, you do not have to pay interest, only an enrollment fee of $45 per term.

To enroll in a payment plan, or learn more, please visit Flywire or call 857-287-3823 (US & Canada) or 1+857-287-3818 (Outside North America) or Chat Flywire Chat

Please note:

• Payments toward the monthly payment plan can be made by e-check.
• Monthly payment plans cannot be used for past due balances.
• The “deadline to enroll” may vary from the billing due date posted on your billing statement. Students are encouraged to resolve any balance due by the due date on their bill.

If you have an existing payment plan with Nelnet Campus Commerce (formerly Tuition Management Systems) you can view your plan information by visiting northeastern.afford.com or call 855.217.0551.

Tuition Paid by Employers or Other Third Party

In those situations where the tuition is paid directly to the university by a third party, the student must provide the Office of Student Accounts with a purchase order or a written statement of intent to pay by the third party no later than the end of the first week of classes. If there are stipulations associated with the payment agreement, such as a minimum grade level, then the student must either pay the university directly or enroll in one of the payment options.

Documentation can be provided via:

Many companies, embassies and agencies directly reimburse students for their educational expenses upon successful completion of courses. In these situations, the student is responsible for paying the bill at the beginning of the term or selecting another payment option. Tuition may not be left unpaid pending reimbursement by a third party.
