Billing

New York Institute of Technology uses electronic billing statements for all student accounts who have a balance due. Due to the advantages of e-billing, we no longer print, mail, or provide paper copies of tuition bills. You're welcome, though, to download and print a hard copy of your e-bill from a personal computer.


Accessing your E-bill and Authorizing a 3rd Party Payer is Easy

Paying as an Authorized Payer

  • New York Institute of Technology uses electronic billing statements (e-bills) for all student accounts who have a balance due. Paper bills are not generated.
  • Parent or other designee must be set up as an "Authorized Payer" by their student in order to receive email notification and access to the electronic statement (e-bill), and to make payments.

Student account transactions are available for viewing online. Parent or other designee must be set up by their student in order to have access to online transactions.

How to Authorize a Parent or an Authorized Payer

  • To allow your parents or some other designee to access and view your student e-bill: Sign in to your Student Service HUB account. Select "My Student Account" then choose My Account and on the "Overview" tab in the middle of the page underneath Do you want help paying? select Send a Payer Invitation.
  • A window will open where you can complete the payer invitation, choose the access you are granting and write a brief message to the authorized payer.
  • Once you select send invitation, an email will be sent to that individual to create their PIN.
  • Once you've been granted access, Authorized payees can view your e-bills, view tax forms (if granted) make payments, and view your balance as they become available. You will be sent an email notification when a new e-bill is available for viewing. * Please note that e-bills are only sent once a month on or about the 16 of the month only if you have a balance due. Authorized Payers may sign on here.
  • You can verify payments posted to your account in real time by logging into the Student Service HUB. You won't see the same payments immediately on your e-bill because it is a monthly statement; they will appear in the next billing cycle.
