Senior citizens, 60 or older, may enroll in classes for non-credit at no charge on a space available basis. Course fees may apply. Classes taken for credit: $150 per semester credit, plus course fee if applicable.

Statement of Charges

Students may view their charges and financial aid on the NNU portal at my.nnu.edu

Changes in the student's course load may result in an increase or decrease in financial aid. When adding or dropping classes, students should contact their financial aid officer to determine if any of their financial aid will be affected.

Students are reminded that lenders deduct a processing fee from their Direct Student loans, Direct Plus loans, and Alaska Student Loan. Questions concerning your financial aid should be directed to (208) 467-8638, 1-877-668-4968, or financialaid@nnu.edu.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that information regarding payment of amounts due is communicated to the person who will be paying the account.

Fees and Other Charges for Past Due Accounts

Failure to pay student's account by the due date will result in a late fee. Accounts 45 days past due will also be assessed a finance charge at the rate of 1.25% monthly (15% annually). A minimum finance charge of $5.00 will apply if calculated monthly interest is less than $5.00.

If students fail to pay their student account bill or any monies due and owing to Northwest Nazarene University by the scheduled due date and fails to make acceptable payment arrangements as defined by NNU to bring their account current, NNU may refer the delinquent account to a collection agency.  If NNU refers the student account balance 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 40% of the amount outstanding. For purposes of this provision, the third party may be a debt collection company or an attorney. If a lawsuit is filed to recover an outstanding balance, the student shall also be responsible for any cost associated with the lawsuit, such as court costs or other applicable costs. The delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus.
