Your Guide to the Pay-Per-Course Tuition Model

Modified on Wed, 5 Nov at 10:36 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.

Pay-Per-Course Tuition Model Explained

The Pay-Per-Course (PPC) model is a flexible payment option where you pay for each course individually at the time of enrollment, rather than paying a continuous monthly fee as in our Monthly Subscription model. Both models are designed to give learners control over their education and finances.

How Pay-Per-Course Works

Fixed Price per Course: Every course has a set, transparent price, making it easy to calculate your total tuition costs before you commit.
Pay-As-You-Go Enrollment: You are billed only when you enroll in a course, and payment is required to complete that enrollment.
Focus & Manageability: This model allows you to focus and pay for one course at a time, making education financially accessible and manageable.

How to Enroll and Make Payments through myNXU

You can initiate course enrollment and make payments directly in the myNXU learner portal. The platform offers two main ways to manage payments:

Manual Enrollment and Payment: You manually enroll and pay for each course individually when you are ready to begin.
Wallet Top-Up System: You can proactively Top Up your myNXU Wallet with funds and use this balance to pay for courses.

Using Wallet Top-Ups

Positive Balance: If you have enough money in your Wallet to cover a course, you can enroll directly using that balance.
No Balance: If your Wallet is empty, simply select “Pay Now” and top up the full course amount or any partial amount you wish to save.
Partial Balance: If your Wallet balance is less than the course price, you can top up the difference needed to cover the remaining cost of the course.

⚠️ Note on Available Payment Methods: The available payment options will match your geographic location. Also, please note that Bank Transfers and Sponsor Payments are not accepted with the Pay-Per-Course model. You will see the accepted payment methods when you proceed with a payment.

Enrollment Flexibility and Program Length

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

Extended Completion Time: The maximum time allowed to finish your program has been extended to 250% of the standard length. This extra time is built in to help you take breaks, save money between courses, and manage life's demands without being rushed.
Example: For the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), the standard completion time is 48 months. Under the PPC model, the maximum completion time is extended to 120 months (10 years).

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.	You can commit to continuous monthly payments to maintain steady, rapid progress.
