Building the Infrastructure of Student Financial Success
Virtual CampusConnect 2026 is Nelnet Campus Commerce's all-client conference for the bursars, business office leaders, and finance teams who keep campus billing, payments, and refunds running. Expect fresh sessions, new content, and the next reveal of what's ahead for Horizon.
Horizon
Students aren’t leaving college because they can’t keep up with the work. They’re leaving because they can’t keep up with the costs. Nelnet plans to change that with Horizon—the first platform connecting personalized payment options, refunds, aid, cost snapshots, and financial guidance into one system designed to keep students enrolled and moving forward in life.
