COVID-19 Changes
Due to COVID-19 challenges, Nelnet has modified the Summer and Fall payment plan options. For plans created after 4/1/2020, if any scheduled payment fails after the guarantee date, the applicable payment plan agreement will be automatically terminated by Nelnet Campus Commerce and any unpaid balance will need to be collected by the institution, directly with the student.
Also, Nelnet has decreased their enrollment fee to $15 for plans created after 4/1/2020.
