The Fall 2025 bill will be available to students and families via the Nelnet Student Account Portal in early July with a due date of August 8, 2025. Students can access their billing details by clicking the Nelnet Student Account Portal link found within the Student Account worklet in Workday. Students who have never accessed the Nelnet Student Account Portal before will need to set up their student profile (refer to the Nelnet - Account Access job aid for detailed instructions) before they can view the bill.

In order for parents, guardians, sponsors, or another party to receive the student's tuition bill, view the student account, and make payments, the student must add them as Authorized Parties in Nelnet. Once they are set up as an Authorized Party, parents/guardians can access Nelnet directly with their own usernames and passwords; they cannot use the student's log-in credentials to access the portal.

SFS will send a notification to students and authorized parties when the information is ready in Nelnet.

July is Sun Safety Awareness Month -- Let's enjoy the summer sun safely. While some sun exposure is needed for vitamin D production, overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can result in sunburn, as well as lead to more serious health problems, including skin cancer, premature aging of the skin, cataracts and other eye damage, and immune system suppression. Take a moment to review ways to keep yourself safe and healthy this summer. Sun Safety Tips from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Understanding UV index, Understanding Sun Protection.
