The Nelnet Payment Plan provides both you and your family the option of paying tuition and fees over a period of up to six months. Such flexibility reduces the stress of paying all tuition and fees before the academic term begin. An added bonus, this plan remains interest free!

Establish your payment plan based upon your anticipated tuition and fee costs and your anticipated financial aid (grants, scholarships, federal and state aid, etc.)

Additional Details

• The Enrollment Fee is $25.
• In addition to the Enrollment Fee there is a 2.65% service fee that will be charged to process all credit/debit card payments. The Service Fee is based on your total payment amount. The 2.65% Service Fee is added to your payment and will appear as a separate item on your credit/debit card statement. The Service Fee is not refundable, even if the payment to which it relates is cancelled, credited or charged back.
  
• If the Enrollment Fee is returned for any reason, the agreement will be terminated.
• If a payment is returned due to NSF (insufficient funds), you will be charged $30 per occurrence.
