How do cicadas mate? Cicada males produce a courtship song once they have found a suitable female. If the female is happy with the male, she will allow him to approach and then join end to end to mate. During the mating process, he will pass over a package of sperm, which the female will then use to fertilise her eggs.

Prior to beginning the semester, all students must ensure that all financial responsibilities to the University are satisfied.  As payment of accounts at NJIT usually involves both financial aid and direct payments, it is necessary for all students to handle these matters before returning to campus.

NJIT accepts written documentation from your employer if they are paying the University directly for some or all of your tuition and fees.  This documentation can be considered an authorized deferment and used in lieu of payment.  The Bursar’s Office must receive proper documentation prior to the posted payment deadlines for the semester for the deferment to be considered, otherwise, the student may be subject to a $500 late fee.  The documentation must be on company letterhead and must contain the student’s name, eight-digit student ID number, date of eligibility, and the terms of the agreement.  If there are charges that are not covered under the agreement, students must pay these amounts in full by the posted payment deadline for the semester.  The University cannot accept agreements that contain contingencies or conditions that delay payment (such as receiving grades for the semester) or payments made directly to the student.  The Bursar’s Office will invoice the employer in a timely fashion, typically after the end of the add/drop period.

If you have any questions about your benefits you must contact your company or the company administrator that your employer identified.  All documents and/or questions regarding this process should be sent to thirdparty@njit.edu.

Scholarships from outside donors must be reported to the Bursar’s Office. Please ensure that all documentation that was provided to you from the donor be included with your submission to our office, including award letters, checks, etc.

Outside scholarship checks should be mailed to the Bursar’s Office at the address below. Checks made payable to you, or to you and New Jersey Institute of Technology must be endorsed by the student. If a check is made payable to you and/or New Jersey Institute of Technology, no signature is required.

It is the student’s responsibility to contact the donor and make sure that the outside scholarship payment is sent to the Bursar’s Office in a timely fashion. In cases where outside awards are not received or the student has received the scholarship payment directly, the student is responsible for paying any balance due to NJIT.  If you are presenting payment from a scholarship organization with no accompanying documentation, please have the scholarship organization complete the Scholarship Payment Form and submit it to the Bursar’s Office.

As a policy, the Bursar’s Office will split scholarship payments over $500 between both semesters of the academic year unless specifically noted otherwise in the scholarship award documentation.

Please address any questions regarding outside scholarships to thirdparty@njit.edu.

Application of payment is the process in which payments are applied to the charges listed on a student account.  NJIT has established a procedure to provide a consistent manner in which all payments are posted to a student account for transparency in the application of all forms of payments.

The university recognizes the importance of investing in Tuition Remission and Tuition Reimbursement for its employees, and in applicable cases, their dependents. The policy, and its related programs, pertain to full time and part time employees who are interested in furthering their education and professional skills. Tuition Remission will be applied to an employee or employee dependent account in accordance with the Employee Tuition Remission Policy approved on September 7, 2017. A copy of the policy can be found under the Catalog of Official University Policies in the Human Resources Section:  ​http://www.njit.edu/policies/

All Tuition Remission forms should be submitted for processing to the Human Resources Department in accordance with the timelines outlined in the Employee Tuition Remission Policy.

Federal student aid regulations require that Federal Title IV funds to be used for authorized allowable educationally related charges such as tuition, mandatory fees, room and board (if living on campus) and up to $200 of prior year institutional charges. Title IV aid includes: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Subsidized Loans, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, and TEACH Grants. Fees that are not allowable educationally related charges for which Title IV funds can be applied, include but are not limited to: library fees, health insurance fee, parking fees, and minor fines for property damage. Late fees are not allowable charges and federal funds cannot be used to pay them, even with an authorization on file.

As required, any Title IV funds awarded in excess of these charges must be refunded to the student. Credit balances as a result of Federal Direct PLUS Loans where the parent is the borrower will be refunded to the parent or student as directed by the parent on the Federal Parent PLUS loan application.

Federal regulations allow for students or parents to voluntarily authorize the University to process Title IV credit balances in different ways. Students can authorize the University to apply Title IV credit balances to other educationally related charges other than tuition, fees, room and board. If you do not authorize the use of federal funds to pay for other allowable educationally related charges, you will be responsible to pay for the balance; failure to pay the balance may result in a $500 late fee and/or a financial holds preventing registration and release of your transcript.

Title IV Authorizations are voluntary. Students (or parents in the case of an undergraduate Federal Direct PLUS Loan) will be notified via email from the Office of Student Financial Aid Services when a FAFSA is on file to complete the Title IV Authorization process. The process includes answering the on-line Title IV Authorization questions from the student portal (my.njit.edu), indicating whether the student agrees with Authorization Statements. The Office of the Bursar will apply Title IV funds to non-allowable institutional charges accordingly. The authorization will be effective for the duration of student’s enrollment at NJIT; however, student can change or rescind it at any time. Any modification or cancellation of the Title IV Authorization will be effective on the date it is received by the Bursar’s Office and is not retroactive.

If after providing the Title IV Authorization you wish to rescind or modify your Authorization choice, you must complete the “Federal Title IV Authorization Form” and select the statement related to canceling your prior authorization provided. The charges no longer paid by the Title IV funds will need to be paid by the posted deadline in full or via an authorized payment arrangement (where applicable).

The unpaid charges may result in late payment fees of $500 and/or a financial hold being placed on the student’s account preventing registration and release of your transcript as per University policy.
