About NSU Financial Aid

NSU has introduced a new policy affecting undergraduate students beginning with the Fall 2024 semester:

All institutional charges, such as tuition, fees, and housing, if applicable, must be paid in full or satisfied with payment arrangements by the following deadlines:

• August 1, 2024 for the Fall semester
• December 1, 2024 for the Winter semester

Undergraduate students who do not have their payment or payment arrangements finalized by the first day of the semester will have their class registration canceled that day.   

Payment arrangements include any one or more of the following, as applicable:

• awarded financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and Federal Direct Loans (including Subsidized, Unsubsidized, and Parent PLUS loans)
• cash, check, credit card, money order, or electronic transfers
• certified alternative/private loans
• Florida Prepaid funds
• Other third-party payments 
• Tuition waivers
• Federal and state educational funding programs
• Veterans and GI Bill® benefits
• finalized NSU payment plan

We encourage all NSU Sharks to take action on financial aid requirements promptly and to make arrangements to meet the new payment deadlines.
