Frequently Asked Questions About Electronic Billing

What is Electronic Billing?
Electronic billing enables you to review your NYIT tuition statement online.

Why are paper bills being replaced?
NYIT has decided to implement e-billing to enhance student customer service. It provides both students and parents a fast and efficient way to view their monthly billing statement online. Email and Web based services have become primary ways to communicate on campus and throughout the world. Electronic billing continues this initiative with the Web culture with which students have become accustomed. Students already have the ability to view up to the minute transactions regarding their account by visiting NYITConnect, logging into their student account, and selecting the account summary by term option. Now, with e-billing, anyone the student designates can also have the convenience of viewing the student's monthly billing statement online.

Do I have to be on e-billing?
Yes, NYIT has designated electronic billing as the official means of generating tuition bills. Each time a bill is available, an email will be sent to your official NYIT email address. It will also be sent to a secondary email address, if you have provided one once you have logged into the portal.

How will I know when my bill is available?
Each time a bill is available, an email will be sent to your official NYIT email address.
