Pay by debit/credit card or E-Check on the online student payment portal.

Student Accounts Information
Payment for all tuition-related fees should be arranged before the payment deadline for each term. Satisfactory payment arrangement can be made through any combination of direct payment, a term Payment Plan, NOBTS scholarships, or a Letter of Intent from an outside scholarship.
A Letter of Intent from an outside donor such as your church can be submitted by having a staff member email financialaid@nobts.edu with your name, student ID number, the amount they plan to send, and the date they plan to send payment. A new Letter of Intent should be submitted each semester a church plans to send a designated gift.
Non-tuition-related charges are due on the first business day of each month (e.g., rent, ELC, café/cafeteria, clinic, library, PGH, post office). Any student account with an outstanding balance is subject to a financial hold preventing registration, viewing grades, or requesting transcripts. Past due balances must be paid in full in order to remove a financial hold.
The new online Payment Portal is now live with access from the Student Portal. At this time, you should be able to log into your Student Portal and click "My Finances." This tab will open two important links: Account Information and Make Payment Online. Before making payment, please review your total student account ledger by clicking Account Information (see notes below). When you have confirmed your account balance, you can click Make Payment Online. The next page contains a link to the new "Student Payment Portal." You will need to disable any pop-up blocker which may prevent the payment portal from opening in a new tab. When the payment portal opens, select your active enrollment from the dropdown menu in the top-left corner (your active enrollment is often the bottom selection). Then, you can make a one-time payment in full or set up a Payment Plan.
A generalized tutorial for the Payment Plan setup process can be found here. Payment Plans are available for each academic term and allow students to divide term tuition balances into monthly installments. A Payment Plan must be established for outstanding tuition before the payment deadline or a greater down payment responsibility will be required to set up the Plan.
At this time, the per-term Registration Fee (for all students except ProDoc) and Student Services Fee (for New Orleans and Doctoral students) are not automatically charged at the moment of registration. The Business Office is charging these fees by the end of the business day after any online registration. Please check your student account ledger to see if these fees have been charged already before submitting term tuition payment.
If you have trouble logging into your new Student Portal account, please contact ITC at selfserve@nobts.edu.
