Billing & Payments

As a Northwestern student, you are responsible for meeting your financial obligations to the university. If your account becomes overdue, you will incur a late payment fee and a restriction will be placed on the account which may cancel or prevent future registration. Additional information about the tuition policy can be found in the Financial Regulations Handbook.

Any charges for which you are billed by the university and are responsible for paying (e.g., tuition, fees) are reflected on your Northwestern student account, which is viewable via CAESAR. Follow these steps to make a payment. Students may provide guest access to CAESAR.
