Your Guide to Nexford's Monthly Tuition Payment Model

Modified on Wed, 5 Nov at 10:29 AM

Understanding Your Tuition Options

At Nexford University, you have two flexible tuition models to choose from: the Standard Monthly Subscription or the Pay-Per-Course (PPC) Model. Both options are designed to give you control over your education and finances.

Monthly Subscription Model Explained

Our Monthly Subscription Model is our foundational tuition option where you pay a fixed tuition price monthly, allowing you to maintain continuous enrollment and progress quickly through your program. This model is designed for learners who prioritize speed and predictable budgeting.

How the Monthly Subscription Works

Fixed Monthly Fee: You pay a single, fixed fee every month, regardless of whether you are enrolled in one course or, once eligible, multiple courses.
Predicable Billing: Your invoice is generated on the 20th of every month for the upcoming month of study, ensuring a clear and predictable payment schedule.
Accelerated Progress: The consistent monthly payment encourages continuous enrollment, allowing you to maximize the value of your monthly fee and potentially finish your degree faster for a lower total cost.

Enrollment and Program Length

To support the pay-as-you-go approach, the PPC model offers maximum flexibility:

Standard Completion Time: This model is optimized for learners targeting the standard completion time for their program.
Maximum Length: The maximum time allowed to finish your program is limited to 150% of the standard completion time. This shorter window encourages steady progress toward graduation.
Example: For the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), the standard completion time is 48 months. Under the Subscription model, the maximum completion time is 72 months.

Making Tuition Payments

How to Make Your Monthly Payment

Payments are managed through your myNXU Wallet, accessible via the myNXU portal (mynxu.nexford.edu). You can make a manual payment each month. If you have previously "topped up" your Wallet (made an advance payment), your monthly tuition will be automatically deducted from your available Wallet balance.

Consequences of Late or Non-Payment

If your monthly tuition payment is not successfully processed by the deadline -- the 1st day of the next month:

You will not be enrolled in the next course(s) in your learning path in the upcoming month. If you are enrolled and completing one or more courses, you will be able to continue and complete the course(s).
Once you have completed courses in progress, your enrollment and access to any new courses will be suspended until the outstanding payment is made and your enrollment is reactivated for the next available study period.
If your outstanding balance has not been paid for 2 more months, you will be dismissed from your program. You will need to pay the outstanding balance in order to be eligible for re-admission.

Which Model is Right for You?

The best model depends on your financial and schedule preferences.

Choose Pay-Per Course if....	Choose Monthly Subscription if...
You need maximum financial breaks. You want the ability to pause your studies (and payments) for long periods to save money or handle life events.	You plan to accelerate. You want to take multiple courses per month and finish your degree in the shortest time possible for a lower total cost.
Your income is unpredictable. You prefer to only pay when you know you can commit time and money to a specific course.	You need predictable budgeting. You prefer a fixed, predictable monthly payment regardless of how many courses you are taking.
You are concerned about program length. You want the assurance of a longer maximum completion window (250%) to account for additional responsibilities.	Your focus is continuous progress to your goal. You can commit to continuous monthly payments to maintain steady, rapid progress.
