Paying your bill
There are several ways to pay your tuition and fees at NSCC. You can pay in full, set up a payment plan, or use financial aid to cover your costs. Review the options below and choose what works best for you.
Pay in Full
You can pay your balance in full online through your student account.
- Log into myNorthshore
- Select Student Accounts / Payment Options
- Pay using a bank account (ACH) or credit/debit card
See Payment Due Dates below.
Payment Plans
If you’re unable to pay your full balance at once, you can enroll in a payment plan. All plans require a non-refundable $40.00 payment plan fee.
- Available through your myNorthshore account
- Enrollment must be completed before the semester deadline
Financial Aid
Financial aid can be used to pay all or part of your bill. Aid includes grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study and is applied directly to your student account. If your aid does not cover your full balance, you are responsible for the remaining amount.

More Information
If an employer or organization such as MassAbility or Workers’ Compensation will pay your costs, submit a letter of intent or purchase order to Student Financial Services before registering for classes. This helps prevent course drops and late fees.
Act early to secure the lowest monthly payment. Missing deadlines or required steps may result in dropped courses and/or a $51 late fee.
Check your account regularly in myNorthshore. Contact Student Financial Services with questions.
Review NSCC’s refund policy for details.
Not attending class does not withdraw you. You must drop your classes by the last day to add/drop. If you remain enrolled after that date, you are responsible for all semester charges.
Student Financial Services offers eRefunds, which deposit financial aid refunds directly into your bank account. Sign up to avoid waiting for or cashing a refund check.
Set up eRefunds through your myNorthshore account. For setup instructions, contact Student Financial Services.
