Paying Your Enrollment Fee

Once you're admitted to NIU, you'll need to pay your enrollment fee to confirm your intent to enroll. If you're unable to pay the enrollment fee in one payment, you can split up your payment according to what works best for you. When your full enrollment fee has been paid, you'll be able to take your next steps, including registering for Orientation and your classes. 

How to Pay Your Enrollment Fee

  1. Log in to MyNIU using your NIU email address (it looks something like this: z200000@students.niu.edu).
  2. Choose the Admissions tile and select “Confirm Intent to Enroll.”
  3. Choose "Pay Enrollment Fee." 
  4. Select your payment method (credit card or electronic check), and then specify and confirm your payment amount.
  5. Complete your billing information and submit your payment. 

Logging in to MyNIU

We sent information about your Z-ID to the personal email address you used when you applied to NIU. Learn more about activating your NIU account ID and accessing MyNIU.

 

Can't Pay the Full Amount? No Problem!

We understand that the enrollment fee can be a significant expense. That's why we offer the flexibility to pay this fee in installments, allowing you to determine the payment amount that works best for your budget.

Pay What You Can, When You Can

When you're prompted to pay your enrollment fee in MyNIU, simply enter the amount you wish to contribute at that time. You have the freedom to decide how much to pay and how often you'd like to make payments until the full fee is covered.

Set Reminders To Make Additional Payments

While you're making payments, we'll continue to send you friendly email reminders encouraging you to complete your enrollment fee payment. It's important to keep track of your remaining balance and set reminders for yourself to make additional payments, as our system is unable to manage payment plans or send personalized reminders.

Unlock Your Next Steps

Once your enrollment fee is paid in full, you'll be able to continue to take your next steps as an admitted student, including registering for Orientation and signing up for classes, ensuring a smooth start to your academic journey with us.
