Payment Policies
Payments
Tuition, fees, and all other costs for a semester are payable on or before the first day of class. Students awaiting their financial aid offer to be finalized still need to make payment arrangements on or before the first day of class.
NGU offers a monthly payment plan for those students wishing to equalize payment of expenses through the semester. Information concerning this payment plan is available in the student accounts section of the student portal.
All students must settle their accounts, including but not limited to library and traffic fines, and residence hall damage fees, before they can receive grades, diplomas, or transcripts, or register for a future semester.
All checks, drafts, or money orders should be made payable to North Greenville University. Checks returned to the University for insufficient funds are subject to a collection fee. Persons giving invalid checks for payment of fees may lose the privilege of using personal checks.
Outstanding Balance
A one-time late payment administrative fee of $250 may be applied to any outstanding balance not paid by the first day of classes each semester. A 2% late fee will be assessed at the end of each month for any remaining balance due.
All accounts with an outstanding balance at the end of the student’s final semester at NGU, where no acceptable payment arrangements have been made, will be turned over to an outside collection agency.
If North Greenville University refers the student to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due in full at the time of the referral to the third party. The collection fee will be calculated at the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, but not to exceed 27% of the outstanding amount. This delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults may be reflected on the student’s credit report.
Payment Plans
Students and their families may pay in monthly installments. After logging into the student portal, select Students > Student Accounts > Make Payments. There is a one-time-per-semester fee of $35 to originate a payment plan. Payments made with the e-check option using check routing number and account number will incur no additional fee.
