Why money waits before it is available

  • Student commission waits a short holding period, in case the payment is refunded.
  • Instructor and campus commission is added up for each month and becomes available after that month is over.
  • Team commission becomes available together with the student sale it came from.
  • Bonuses and prizes are available as soon as they are added.

Row statuses

  • On the wayWaiting; shows "from" and the date.
  • AvailableCleared and ready: counted in the Available box.
  • RequestedIn a payout being sent.
  • PaidSent to you.
  • CancelledThe payment was refunded or reversed, or the commission broke the rules. It is not paid.
Why is Available zero when I have commission?

New commission is On the way until its holding period or month is over. Check the date on each row.

Why was a commission cancelled?

The student's payment was refunded or reversed, or NSDP found it broke the agreement (for example a self-referral).

I can't see older commissions.

The page lists your latest 50. Your monthly statements in Settings list every commission for any month.

Do the Referrals and Earnings pages agree?

Yes. A student enrolment on Referrals carries the same status chip as its row on Earnings & payouts, and a cancelled one is struck through on both.
