Student Billing
Your Student Account
What is a student account?
Most charges are billed through your MyNevadaState Student Center student account. Items on your student account may include registration fees, tuition, housing costs, special course fees, and other miscellaneous items. Tuition and fee charges are assessed immediately upon registration and are due usually three weeks prior to the start of each semester (check the academic calendar for due dates).
Notices of outstanding charges due are sent to your MyNevadaState Communication Center and student email account each semester.
Here’s what you can expect with your student account:
- View charges for the current and previous semesters
- Submit electronic payment from a credit card
- Set up an installment payment plan
- See up-to-date student account balances, including pending payments
- Confirm receipt of student account payments
- Review the amount of your pending financial aid
- Review financial aid disbursed to your student account, and any refunds issued to you
- Obtain information on financial, academic, or administrative holds on your registration
- Confirm processing of waivers or residency status
Past Due Accounts
What is a past due account?
A student account is considered past due after any missed payment due dates, including payment plan installments.
What happens when my student account is past due?
In accordance with Board of Regents policy, Title 4, Chapter 17, Section 2:
A student or former student having a delinquent account receivable of $100.00 or more or an overdue loan of any amount with any member institution of the Nevada System of Higher Education shall not be permitted to register at any institution. For this section, delinquent accounts receivable include tuition and registration fees, student fees, special courses fees and residence life charges billed to a student’s account in the student information system. An NSHE institution may include other fee categories as they deem appropriate in the determination of a delinquent account.
A student or former student having a delinquent account receivable or an overdue loan of any amount with any member institution of the Nevada System of Higher Education shall not be permitted to receive a transcript of academic record, a diploma, a certificate or report of semester grades. The student or former student may; however, inspect the records under the provisions of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
In addition, institutions may refer delinquent accounts receivable of $100.00 or more and overdue loans of any amount to a collection agency following written notification to the student or former student.
For Nevada State University, fee categories include all tuition and registration fees, special course fees, and student fees.
