Set Up a Payment Plan

Each semester, families may enroll in a 4 or 5 month payment plan to make interest free monthly payments towards the student’s tuition.
Please note:

Payment plans must be re-established at the beginning of each semester. Spring 2024 payment plans can be set up starting on December 1st once charges are applied to the account. The deadline date for the 5 payment plan is December 11th; the 4 payment plan deadline is January 10th.

Authorized parties can access the payment plan at any time after setting up their account using this link: https://www.nbspayments.com/SignIn.aspx.

Important

We cannot access a scheduled payment 2-3 business days before the scheduled payment date, so if you would like to make changes to the amount or date, please let us know at least a week in advance.

If the account information is incorrect or the funds are not available at the time of payment, the payment will be returned along with a small return fee. Nelnet will automatically attempt to pull payment a second time after this occurs.
