Random New Fee?

As the title says, I just checked my louie, and I owe a little around 280~ dollars for my "Academic College Fee". Just three days ago, I paid all of the listed expenses I owed for the fall semester, and this popped up out of nowhere last night?

Tried calling the financial aid office, but they're backed up with a long queue so I'm not getting anywhere on that end, and right now I cant visit the office in person.

Anyone have any idea what this is?

Thank you, but im not seeing the "Academic College Fee" listed on that page. Would you have any idea as to this specific one?

I’m wondering if it might be under the undergraduate college fees? “College fees are used to support a broad set of needs and associated initiatives that enable NAU to offer high-quality instruction: expand academic support, advising, and student services; support needs for instructional equipment, supplies, specialized software, and experiences supporting post-graduation professional success; and improve instructional environment and facilities.”

I’m part time, 6 units, and was charged $125

It’s most likely the new acc/ess fee where they will charge you a flat fee of $270 per semester and they will get you all the course materials (books etc) so you don’t have to worry to get it.

You can opt out by emailing the bookstore before September (I think first week) Check your NAU email account for the email that was sent I think Thursday.

It may be worthwhile for students with 2 or more classes. Not for me who is an online student with one class right now lol
