Online Payment via Campus Connection

All payments made towards a student account will first be applied towards tuition and mandatory student fees unless the student (or authorized payer) explicitly indicates that the payment should be applied to a specific student account charge. The instructions below outline how to make a general payment towards the student account with no specific charge in mind.

1. Log in to Campus Connection and click on the Financial Account tile.
   
2. Click on Pay Online Now and select NDSU. You will then be routed to the online payment portal, Nelnet.
3. In the View & Pay Account screen, click on the Make a Payment button.
4. In the Paying Account Activity screen, check the items you wish to pay. More information on each box can be found below. Students may edit Payment Amount fields.
   • Total Student Account Balance: This is the full account balance from Campus Connection, including all charges. To pay the balance in full or make a partial payment, students can check this box and edit the Payment Amount. Payments towards the Total Student Account Balance will generally cover tuition and
     student fees first.
   • International Student Health Insurance Only: If a student has, or expects this charge to post soon, they can check this box and edit or enter the amount they wish to pay towards this charge.
   • Rent Only: If a student has, or expects this charge to post soon, they can check this box and enter or edit the amount they wish to pay specific to this charge. If a student has other charges due on their account, and wants to ensure that specifically rent is paid, this is only guaranteed way to do so.
   • Account Prepayment: Students wishing to submit a payment for charges not yet incurred (OTHER than Rent or Insurance) should utilize this payment option and enter in the amount to be paid. This payment will be held to pay any charges that post, in the order in which they are posted.
