Beware of Tuition Payment Scams

Scammers may approach you with offers to pay your tuition, usually in exchange for personal information or a "small fee." These offers are fraudulent and can lead to financial loss or identity theft.

Verify Unsolicited Offers: Any offer to pay your tuition should be approached with caution. Verify the legitimacy of such offers through official university channels before proceeding.

Official Payment Channels: Always use the university’s official payment system for your tuition fees. Be wary of requests to use alternative payment methods like wire transfers, gift cards, stolen credit cards or cryptocurrency.

Protect your username/Password: Do not share your username and password with anyone.

General Tips to Avoid Scams

Students may set up authorized user accounts to allow others, such as parents, spouses, or employers, to view their bills and make online payments toward their student account. To set up an authorized user account, follow the instructions below:

  1. Log into your Highlander Pipeline: https://portal.njit.edu/
  2. In the My Bursar Account section
  3. Click Student Account and Payment Portal 
  4. Click Continue 
  5. In the My Profile Set-Up section (right side of the page) click “Authorized Users”
  6. Click “Add User”
  7. Enter the user’s email address
  8. Indicate the access options you would like the user to have.  Please be aware, authorized users can only view financial information, not academic information.
  9. Click "Continue"

The authorized user will receive an email message and their password to access the account. When the authorized user logs into their account, they will need to create a new password and then they will be able to view bills and make payments to the student account.
