Return Reference Explanation
Part III, Line 1a: The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale acquires art for its collection through purchase or gift. As permitted by SFAS 116 (ASC 958), accounting for contributions received and contributions made, the Museum does not include its collection items as assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. Accordingly, no value has been assigned to the Museum's art collection. The University's policy requires any proceeds from sales of collection items to be used to acquire other items for the collection or for the direct care of its collection (expenditures that enhance the life, usefulness, or quality of an object, and improve the physical impact and condition of an item). Proceeds from the sale of collection items and expenditures for collection items purchased are reflected in the consolidated statement of activities within other revenues and expenses, respectively.
Part III, Line 4: The Museum's art collections are held for public exhibition, education, and scholarly use in furtherance of the University's exempt educational purpose. The Museum provides continuing opportunities for appreciation of the arts by the general public and educational opportunities for NSU employees and students through innovative exhibitions, educational programs, publications, and collection based activities. The Museum building encompasses 83,000 square feet on three levels, including approximately 25,000 square feet of exhibition space used for the display of the collections. The adjacent Horvitz auditorium is used for lectures, films, concerts, theatrical events, and other educational and cultural presentations.
Part V, Line 4: The University's endowment consists of approximately 455 individual endowments (which includes both donor restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the board of trustees) which have been set aside and invested primarily for scholarships. Part V, lines 1a, b, and g: The amounts listed in Part V, Lines 1a, b, and g include endowment-related pledges receivable. Line 1b is net of discounts and other pledge related activity. As of June 30, 2025 endowment-related pledges receivable totaled $27.5 million.
Part X, Line 2: Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The University follows the guidance contained in ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There were no uncertain tax positions recorded in the consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2025 or 2024.

ReturnReference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: NSU Office of Sponsored Programs maintains a written, formal policy that outlines the procedures and guidelines for monitoring the use of sponsored funds by subrecipients. Prior to entering into a subaward agreement, NSU will assess subrecipient risk based on factors such as financial stability, experience with federal awards, quality of management systems and internal controls, and prior audit results. NSU will determine what type of monitoring activities are warranted based on risk, and develop a subrecipient monitoring plan. NSU will subsequently enter into a subaward agreement with each subrecipient which properly identifies prime award information, compliance requirements, and subrecipient monitoring documents required, as applicable. Throughout the period of performance, the Principal Investigator for the project monitors the programmatic activities of the subrecipient; determining that appropriate progress has been made; receiving, reviewing and retaining copies of required programmatic reports; and reviewing/approving subrecipient invoices prior to submitting to the NSU Office of Sponsored Programs for approval and processing. As part of the initial risk assessment and throughout the period of performance of the subaward, NSU will collaboratively review any deficiencies pertaining to the sponsored award that are identified through audits or other means, and issue a management decision.
Part I, line 3: The amounts reported in column (f) include primarily the direct expenditures for the regions listed, recorded on the accrual method of accounting.

Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: NSU Office of Sponsored Programs maintains a written, formal policy that outlines the procedures and guidelines for monitoring the use of sponsored funds by subrecipients. Prior to entering into a subaward agreement, NSU will assess subrecipient risk based on factors such as financial stability, experience with federal awards, quality of management systems and internal controls, and prior audit results. NSU will determine what type of monitoring activities are warranted based on risk, and develop a subrecipient monitoring plan. NSU will subsequently enter into a subaward agreement with each subrecipient which properly identifies prime award information, compliance requirements, and subrecipient monitoring documents required, as applicable. Throughout the period of performance, the Principal Investigator for the project monitors the programmatic activities of the subrecipient; determining that appropriate progress has been made; receiving, reviewing and retaining copies of required programmatic reports; and reviewing/approving subrecipient invoices prior to submitting to the NSU Office of Sponsored Programs for approval and processing. As part of the initial risk assessment and throughout the period of performance of the subaward, NSU will collaboratively review any deficiencies pertaining to the sponsored award that are identified through audits or other means, and issue a management decision. Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: Institutional grants awarded to students are recorded to individual student accounts and to each college departmental account using specific contra revenue account codes. The number of recipients and amount of awards varies by center and program. Funds set aside for scholarships are budgeted annually and included in the University's budget plan approved by the Board of Trustees.

Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 1a Supplemental Compensation Information: First class travel - Per the travel policy of Nova Southeastern University, Inc., all travel must be by the most direct or economical route. Higher fares may be reimbursable only when coach accommodations would: (1) require circuitous routing; (2) require travel during unreasonable hours; (3) greatly increase the duration of the flight; (4) result in additional costs which would offset the transportation savings; (5) offer accommodations which are not reasonably adequate for the medical needs of the traveler. These exceptions will require the traveler to submit a letter of approval signed by their Dean or Vice President. The NSU President/CEO is authorized to travel at a First Class fare (or business class if it is not available), while taking care to use available coupons, rewards or certificates when feasible. Charter travel is occasionally used for bona fide business purposes as deemed necessary due to scheduling constraints, geographic considerations, and mission related efficiency. Travel for companions - Per the travel policy of Nova Southeastern University, Inc., should a companion accompany the employee during a travel period, NSU will pay for only the normal single travel or meal costs associated with the NSU employee. NSU will not reimburse expenses associated with companion travel or meals. Any reimbursement authorized as an exception is subject to IRS guidelines and is considered taxable wages or income to the employee. Charter travel provided to companions is treated as taxable income to the NSU employee. Gross-up payments - Tax gross-up payments may occasionally be provided to university employees and in those instances are included in taxable compensation. Housing allowance - A housing allowance is included in President/CEO George L Hanbury's taxable compensation and reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). Social club dues - The University provides certain executives with a club membership cash allowance, which is treated as taxable to the employee and included in his or her compensation.
Part I, Line 4b President/CEO George L. Hanbury's employment agreement includes a deferred compensation arrangement. The estimated deferred amount attributable to one service year is reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column(C).
Part I, Line 5 Steven Kaltman received an incentive bonus payment that was calculated as a percentage of net collections from dental clinic activity. Amounts paid are shown in Schedule J, Part II, Column(BII).

The Executive Committee has the power to transact all business delegated to it by the BOT and shall, during periods between meetings of the BOT and for all matters of an urgent nature for which it is impractical or impossible to delay decisions until the next meeting of the BOT, have the power to transact all business of the BOT in the management of the Corporation, subject to any limitations otherwise imposed on the BOT as a whole. The Executive Committee shall have such additional powers as conferred upon it by the BOT, and shall report in writing to the BOT following each meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Trustees George Platt and Charles L. Palmer - business relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Describe the process used by the organization to review this Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared by the Nova Southeastern University Tax Department and reviewed by the Controller, then presented to the University's outside tax accountants (KPMG, LLP) for review. After review by the outside tax accountants, a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules are provided for review to the Executive Vice President of Finance/Chief Financial Officer and the President/Chief Executive Officer of the University. Upon completion of the internal review, the final form 990 and all required schedules are initially provided to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and subsequently made available to the full Board of Trustees prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Describe how the organization monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy: Nova Southeastern University (NSU) has a written Conflict of Interest/Conflict of Commitment Policy which applies to all NSU employees. Anyone with knowledge of a conflict or potential conflict is required to immediately advise their Dean/Vice President or the Office of Human Resources. All full-time and part-time faculty members and staff members at the Director level and above are required to complete NSU's Conflict of Interest/Conflict of Commitment Declaration & Disclosure Statement, upon hire and then annually, identifying any actual or potential conflicts. If a potential or perceived conflict of interest/conflict of commitment is identified, the Dean/Vice President is responsible for developing and monitoring a Management plan to address and/or eliminate the conflict/conflict of commitment.
