Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2024 and 2023 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted Cash Current restricted cash represents funds related to federal revolving student loan programs (see Note 10) and funds held on behalf of student clubs or organizations in which the university is serving in an agent capacity. Approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million of long-term restricted cash at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, represents funds contributed in accordance with the joint-use library facility agreement (see Note 14) by NSU and Broward County for capital repair, replacement, and renewal. In accordance with this agreement, these funds are maintained in an interest-bearing account. These funds are reflected as a long-term asset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position since they are restricted for long-term capital expenditures. Additionally, longterm restricted cash at June 30, 2024 and 2023 includes approximately $9.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, received in fiscal 2020 from bond proceeds that are restricted for projects included in the university’s capital improvement plan (see Note 9), as well as $9.3 million and $12.5 million at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that is part of the university’s endowment, and therefore, deemed long-term in nature. NSU has cash balances with banks in excess of FDIC-insured limits, which therefore bear risk, including concentration of credit risk with respect to NSU’s primary banking institutions. The university has not experienced any loss due to this risk.
