Billing Corporate (non-student) Accounts


NDSU’s external (i.e. non-student) customers are billed directly by the department providing the product and/or service.  NDSU’s accounts receivable department (i.e. Customer Account Services) is then promptly notified of the transaction so that it may be recorded in Campus Connection as a receivable.  C.A.S. is responsible for sending the customer monthly billing statements, assessing late payment fees, and collecting payment.  To ensure the integrity of financial statements, as well as the timely collection of payment, departments are expected to adhere to this billing process unless specifically granted a pre-approved exception.
