Billing and payment tasks

Accessing Your Student's Bill

Student billing information is available through the student account portal and is accessible only to the student. If you are helping your student pay for their education, ask them to download or print a copy of their billing statement and share it with you.

Because the student is responsible for their account, we encourage families to communicate regularly about billing statements, payment deadlines, and any outstanding balances.

Paying by Mail

Payments may be mailed to the University's payment processing lockbox.

Checks and money orders (in US dollars from US banks) should be mailed at least 5 business days prior to the payment due date in order for your payment to be processed timely.

Checks should be made payable to Northwestern University. Postdated checks will not be honored.

Scholarship checks should NOT be mailed to this address. You are required to forward scholarship checks to your financial aid office so that funds can be applied to your student account.

For faster processing, please include the student's name and 7-digit WildCARD number (Northwestern ID card) on the check. Mail your payment with the remittance portion of your invoice to:

Northwestern University
P.O. Box 70385
Chicago, IL 60673
