Payment Plans

Monthly Payment Plan

Nelnet has contracted with Brandeis to administer the monthly payment plan. Payment plans are offered for the fall and spring semesters only. No payment plan is available for summer charges or past due balances.

The application and a nonrefundable handling fee of $45 per semester must be returned to Nelnet or enrollment completed online by the published semester due dates. Electronic withdrawals for the 5-month payment plan will begin on July 15, 2021 for the fall and December 15, 2021 for the spring.  Electronic withdrawals for the 4-month payment plan will begin on August 15, 2021 for the fall and January 15, 2022 for the spring. Electronic withdrawals for the 3-month payment plan will begin on September 15, 2021 for the fall and February 15, 2022 for the spring. (Please note that the payment plan must be set up separately for each semester.) Payment plans must be set up prior to the published due dates for each term.  Returned payments: If a payment is returned unpaid by the credit card or bank account on record, Nelnet will attempt to submit the payment again. If the second attempt is also returned unpaid by the credit card or bank account the payment plan is cancelled. Any student account balance that was being covered by the monthly payment plan will be due immediately as a one-time payment. For more information, visit our Monthly Semester Payment Plan website.
