Enrollment for higher education can be a challenging and competitive process for students and institutions. Many students have budget constraints that prevent them from pursuing their education. And institutions struggle to attract and retain students in a crowded education market.

With Nelnet Campus Commerce Payment Plans, relieve financial burdens and keep students enrolled by allowing them to make tuition payments over time.

Designed to be self-service, Nelnet Payment Plans make tuition management simple for your students and your business office. You’ll reduce institutional costs so you can focus your resources on student success and retention. Secure and compliant solutions alleviate regulatory burden and automated payment processing improves collection rates to reduce the time your staff spends managing student accounts.

Payments are processed automatically by bank account or credit card as well as multiple currency options for international students. Users have 24/7 access to view current balances, make changes, and manage their accounts. And if they fall behind on their payments, our plans can help them get back on track.

Nelnet Payment Plans make college more affordable and accessible for students.
