All plan payments are drawn from a bank account or credit card designated by the student or Authorized User. The fee to enroll in a payment plan is $40 per semester, due at the time of enrollment.
Please note: Balances remaining on the students account will be assessed a 1% service fee monthly unless enrolled and current in a payment plan. Payment adjustments are made by the individual who setup the plan, they will not be automatically adjusted. Payment plan users will receive monthly billing notices from Nelnet. If the student's plan includes the entire balance for this term no further action is required.
