Phone Bills:

Rates are modest and competitive with those of major commercial long-distance companies. Students need to familiarize themselves with the rates and plan their calling accordingly. A student's phone bill is accessible only online. NIUTEL creates an online statement for each student (or apartment in the University Apartments complex).

Academic Residential Programs:

A $50 per semester charge supports programs and services available to residents.

ResNet Access and Support:

There is $60 per semester charge for all technology fees.

Room Damage:

Within seven days after a bill is issued, students must pay for assessments for damages to their room and residence hall and for a prorated share of damages to areas of their residence hall that are not assignable to an individual.
