Nelnet Payment Plan Information

NELNET is a payment plan that allows you to spread out your tuition, fees, and book costs over time.  This is not a loan program or financial aid. There is no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check.  It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø.  Expenses covered include:

  • Tuition & Fees
  • Required Books & Materials
    • The cost of books will be added to your NELNET payment account.
    • Any changes could increase or decrease your monthly payment.
    • Once your NELNET account is set-up, work with the Bookstore to purchase your required books & materials.

Overview

You must enroll in NELNET every semester—plans do not carry over.  Enroll by ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø payment deadlines to avoid being dropped from your classes.  There is a $300 minimum to enroll.  Payment methods include:

  • Automatic bank draft (ACH)
  • Credit/Debit Card
