Payment Plans
Keep Students Enrolled and on Track
We’ll give you the tools and expertise to market payment plans to students, letting them know that they can spread tuition payments throughout the semester. Once they’re enrolled in a plan, they can easily set up automatic payments, check their balance, and monitor their account. If they fall behind on their payments, our plans will help get them back on track – keeping them enrolled throughout the process.

Our payment plans are “actively managed,” meaning we take care of all of the details. We follow up on delinquent payments, help promote the plan at your campus with customized marketing materials at no additional cost, and offer a full-service team to assist both administrators and students.
Improve Receivables and Reduce Work
With Nelnet Actively Management Payment Plans, payments are automatic for the term, so you don’t have to rely on students to take action each month. Manage delinquency aging and remittances on your institution’s dashboard while our team handles the follow-up on delinquency payments.
Easy Access for Students
Students can sign on through your ERP interface that they already know to set up their plan, add authorized payers, and adjust payments if needed. Automated communications through email or text can be sent to make students aware that plans are available
Promote Your Plans
Make sure students are aware of payment options with customized marketing materials. We work collaboratively with your institution to provide marketing material that best fit your students’ needs.
