TUITION AND FEES

Online Payment Plan

Nicholls State University now offers its payment plan through Heartland (Touchnet) Payment Systems.  The Installment Payment Plan allows students to pay tuition and fee charges for the current term in installments.  Payment plans are not offered to students who are registered in Summer Term A  or Summer Term B ONLY,  Winter Session or Nicholls Online.  

  • The payment plan will calculate the same as the University’s traditional payment plan with a couple of changes to how you view the plan and the adaptability of the plan to schedule changes.
  • The process to enroll is entirely online and simple to complete.
  • The payment plan will not appear on your Banner Self-Service account since the payment plan is not processed in Banner. You will see the payment plan and all the details as it applies to your account in the Touchnet system (once you click “my bill” in self-service). 
  • The plan will recalculate and determine new amounts due based on changes to eligible charges on the student account.
  • Current term tuition and fees related to registration and room and board plans are eligible charges.
  • Prior term charges must be paid prior to enrolling in a payment plan.
  • Indebtedness or fines are not eligible charges and must be paid separate of the payment plan.

SUMMER

Payment plans are not offered to students who are registered in Summer Term A  or Summer Term B ONLY.  To be eligible for the payment plan for the summer term, students must be enrolled in either Full Term or BOTH Term A & Term B.

To enroll in an installment payment plan, the student must pay 50% of tuition and fees for the current term plus a non-refundable $50 service charge.  The initial 50% plus the $50 service charge is due before the end of the registration period to avoid having all courses dropped and schedule cancelled.   The remaining balance will be due 15 minutes prior to the close of business on July 1st.

Students may call the Controller’s Office at 985-448-4066 for additional information regarding the Installment Payment Plan.
