If payment is not received by the due date, you may be subject to late fees, course cancellations, as well as having a hold placed on your account. All unpaid accounts are forwarded to 3rd party collection agencies for further collections activities.

A. Credit Card (Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express)
Access the secure payment website via the Banner Student Self-Service link at: my.njit.edu. A 2.75% non-refundable transaction fee will be added to each credit card transaction.
B. Electronic Check
Access the secure payment website via the Banner Student Self-Service link at: my.njit.edu. E-check payment is a no-fee alternative to credit card payment which directly debits your personal checking or savings account.
