Payment Plans (Flex Pay)

Flex Pay through Nelnet payment plans is a low-cost way to spread your tuition and fee payments out over time.

Payments are automatically deducted from your checking account or your MasterCard, Discover Card or American Express.
Flex Pay is not a loan program so you won’t have interest or finance charges, and there is no credit check.
There is a $25-per-semester, non-refundable enrollment fee.
A small convenience fee is charged for credit card payments.
Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and continue until the balance is paid in full.
There is a $30 fee if a payment is returned for insufficient funds.
You must sign up each semester that you want to use the program.

FLEX PAY OPTIONS

There are two Flex Pay options. Your financial aid status at the time you register for classes determines which Flex Pay program you will be placed into.

1. Flex Pay for those without financial aid.
If you do not pay in full at the time you register for classes, and you do not receive financial aid including scholarships, grants and loans, you will be placed into the traditional Flex Pay plan. The amount of the down payment you must make will be determined by the date you enroll in the program. The earlier you enroll, the smaller the down payment is. Flex Pay enrollment deadlines are listed in the chart on this page.

2. Flex Pay – Pending Aid are for a Chapter 33 veteran.
Flex Pay – Pending Aid is similar to the traditional Flex Pay Program. One difference is that your payment plan will only be activated if a tuition and fee balance remains after all of your financial aid and VA benefits are applied. Another difference is how the monthly payment plan is structured. Only if Flex Pay - Pending Aid is activated due to an outstanding balance will Flex Pay fees be charged.
