Important Information about NYU Billing (E-bill)
E-Suite, NYU’s new Electronic billing system (effective April 2011), is the official means of generating tuition and
housing bills for all enrolled students. In July, students will receive a message at their official NYU e-mail address
notifying them that a bill for tuition, fees, and housing for fall semester is available. Students should regularly check
their NYU e-mail for billing reminders and their billing account via Albert throughout the term for up-to-date
information as new charges can occur during the semester.
Note for non-NYU students: Visiting students whose home school chooses to bill them directly for the term at
NYU should check with their home school to see what they will pay for on your behalf – most schools do not
pay for housing or fees, this remains the responsibility of the student. If you are in the process of initiating a
Consortium Agreement between your current school and NYU, pay the amount you expect to owe knowing that
your school will send the remainder at the start of the semester.
Tuition and Registration and Services fee:
All participants on NYU Study Abroad programs are required to enroll as full-time (12 to 18 credits) students. Students
may be eligible to enroll for more than 18 credits for an additional cost per credit fee. Visit the NYU Office of the
Bursar web site, www.nyu.edu/bursar, for tuition and fees, as well as the University’s refund schedule.
Emergency Services Providers:
HTH Worldwide is an international health insurance provider that is provided for all students enrolled at
the NYU semester or year-long study abroad programs. This coverage is granted at no additional cost to students so you
will not see any mention of this service on the E-bill. All students attending our programs must continue to carry
personal health insurance coverage in their home country for the duration of the program. For more information on this
insurance please review the HTH Worldwide pamphlet (located on our website).
Housing Charges:
Berlin, Florence, Ghana, London, Paris (first year students), Prague, and Shanghai:
Nearly everyone who studies in these sites—including students on the Tisch Special Programs in London and Prague—
will see on the E-bill an estimated housing charge. Housing assignments are not available in time for July billing so an
estimated housing charge is used as a “placeholder charge” until students arrive overseas and move into their assigned
housing; the estimated charge is not the final housing charge. There are two reasons why an estimated charge is used:
The estimated charge allows those students who receive financial aid to have loan and grant funds released
before the start of the semester (otherwise, these funds would not be released until well into the semester).
The estimated charge allows the study abroad programs to align with the traditional billing cycle of the
University so that families can budget ahead and pay as they do for semesters at the home campus.
Most important is that the estimated housing charge should be paid with the tuition charges. Although housing
assignments (for the programs listed above) will be e-mailed to students 1-2 weeks prior to departure the charge of the
actual housing assignment will not appear on the E-bill until 2-3 weeks following the start of the semester. Once the
actual housing placement has been made, student accounts will be adjusted resulting in either a credit to the account or
a remaining balance for the difference between the estimate and the actual placement. Students should check their
billing account on-line via NYUHome for updated information throughout the semester.
Tel Aviv: All participants of NYU in Tel Aviv are housed in the same residence so you will be billed the
actual housing charge on the E-bill statement in July.
Buenos Aires, Madrid, and Paris (upperclassmen): Students enrolled in these programs will not be billed for
housing through NYU (unless in Buenos Aires or Paris if you are housed in a University approved residence). Instead
you will pay your landlord/host family directly each month while you are abroad.
