Once you receive your DODTA authorization form, please attach it to an email and send it to cashier.office@nsc.flywheelstaging.com.  We will then adjust your account once we receive your official DODTA authorization form. This change occurs within 3 business days of receipt.

NSC will then defer your tuition and will send an invoice for payment to your Military Branch of Service. You will be responsible for paying anything outside of tuition, including course and institutional fees.

Is a “Statement of charges” keeping you from getting your DODTA authorization from your ESO or military portal?

Some branches require it and some do not. If you do indeed need to verify Cost Verification form BEFORE you can get your DODTA authorization, please follow these steps:

  1. Send an email to: cashier.office@nsc.flywheelstaging.com with the subject line “Statement of charges”. In the body of the messages include your name, student ID, and the term or classes for which you need the cost verification.
  2. Watch for an email in your NSC account from the NSC Third Party Billing Department. This will include a statement of charges with a breakdown for each class and it is generally sent within 3 business days after your request.
