Bills/Account Statements: Statements are based on the information contained in your student account. Your student account includes all NIU charges and all payments, financial aid, or other credits. Charges incurred to your account include: Tuition and related fees, and other common charges such as medical insurance, room and board, bookstore, etc.
Initial bills/account statements for a semester are issued approximately one month prior to the start of the semester (see Due Dates page). After the initial billing for the semester, statements will be issued monthly with payment of any new charges due approximately three weeks from the date of the statement. These monthly account statements show all charges and payments that have occurred since the previous statement. The bottom portion of your account statement is a payment stub and must be returned with any payments you are making by mail.
If you have questions about statements, view our sample statement or our FAQ page.
Online Statements: For the current semester only, statement are always available for online viewing via the student's WebConnect. Account information is only available until 6:00 p.m. Once logged in, click the "Financial Account" button.
