In the fall 2023 semester, NSU will introduce a financial payment plan for international students. Currently, the option is only available for American students.
“We had a lot of international students over the years requesting the payment plan, so that’s what drove us to rethink that,” said Director of the Bursar’s Office Elizabeth Gutierrez.
Initially, international students were required to pay their entire tuition at the beginning of the semester. With the new payment plan, international students will have to pay 50% of their tuition up front as well as a $75 service fee, with the rest payable monthly.
“I definitely think it’s helpful as it could be quite demanding to pay the full amount up front,” said Chukwudum Okpalaoka, sophomore biology major and Nigerian student.
There will be only one standard plan available to international students to start with, and students must have a credit card or an electronic check from a United States bank account in order to enroll into the plan.
If the plan proves to be successful, there may be the possibility for additional payment plans to be made available to international students in the future.
“It’s also quite fair as citizens also have a payment plan. It’ll definitely make returning students more excited to come to Nova and make more people want to come,” said Okpalaoka.
