NSU Student Handbook 2012–2013 71 The Office of the University Bursar The Of ce of the University Bursar is responsible for billing students, collecting and depositing payments, issuing refunds from excess nancial aid funds, and verifying students’ eligibility for nancial aid funds. Bursar’s Of ce Policies • By registering for courses at Nova Southeastern University, the student accepts nancial responsibility for payment of all institutional costs including, but not limited to, tuition, fees, housing and meal plan (if applicable), health insurance (if applicable), and any additional costs when those charges become due. • Payment is due in full at the time of registration. NSU e bills are sent the middle of each month. However, to avoid late charges, students should not wait for their billing statement to pay their tuition and fees. • A student will not be able to register for future semesters until all outstanding balances from previous semesters have been paid in full. If a student has a balance 30 days after the start of the semester, a hold and a $100 late fee will be placed on his or her account. This hold stops all student services, including, but not limited to, access to the University RecPlex, academic credentials, and future registrations. It will remain on the student’s account until the balance has been paid in full. • Delinquent student account balances may be reported to a credit bureau and referred to collection agencies or litigated. Delinquent students will be liable for any costs associated with the collection of unpaid charges, including attorney fees and court costs. All registration agreements shall be construed in accordance with Florida law, and any lawsuit to collect unpaid fees may be brought in the appropriate court sitting in Broward County, Florida, regardless of the student’s domicile. Methods of Payment NSU accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Check payments include traveler’s checks, cashier’s checks, personal checks, and money orders. International checks must be in U.S. funds only and drawn on a U.S. bank. Wire transfers are accepted. Electronic check and credit card payments can also be made through NSU e Bill.
