SFS Updates
Student Account Balance Change Notifications
Starting Wednesday, July 16th, Student Financial Services will send a weekly notification to students if their balance has changed in the past week. Notices will be sent to the Brandeis email and students should share this information with Authorized Parties. The first notice will reflect changes to the balance since the fall bill was issued on July 7th.
These notices will allow students to know if we've received a payment or if charges or financial aid have changed. Changes may include increases or decreases to charges, financial aid, one time payments, and/or payment plans.
It will include the current account balance and students should log into Workday, Student Account, Nelnet Student Account Portal to view the Transaction Details. (Parents added as Authorized Parties in Nelnet should log in with their own credentials at the Nelnet login page) The balance on the Nelnet main page and transaction details will update in real time to reflect any changes to the account. (Please note the View Current Bill link does not update - this is a snapshot of your account balance and transactions at the time the e-bill was issued) Please review and make payments according to the published due date policies available on our website.
