Your 1098T document is now available on the Student Account page of your portal.  You can download and email the document or print it out.

In partnership with the Slingshot textbook service (Website).  NGU continues to offer rental textbooks and materials for the Fall 2022 school year. The rental books/material fee will be $385 per semester for full-time students and $30 per credit hour for part-time, NGU Online, and graduate students beginning with the summer term. Any materials your faculty member requires for your class will be received in the one low fee and includes access codes, art kits, lab equipment and other items adopted by your faculty members.

Please note the following change to the 22-23 academic year:  If you opted out of the Slingshot textbook service in the Spring 2022 term, you are automatically opted out for future terms.  You may go to the Slingshot Preferences link on the left navigation bar of the Students tab to opt back into the service by completing the Slingshot Preferences form.
