Nelnet Tuition Payment Plans
The City University of New York makes college more affordable by allowing you to better manage your payments over time.
Benefits of Enrolling in a Nelnet Payment Plan
-
Instead of paying each semester's bill all at once, the Nelnet payment plan allows you to stretch payments over a period of months
-
The earlier you enroll, the lower your monthly payments since the total amount financed will be divided over more scheduled payments
-
Your class seat is saved
-
Nelnet accepts: Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Amex. You may also pay with your checking account or ACH online.
-
This is an interest-free payment plan, not a loan.
Payment Plan Information
Payment Plan Budget
Establish your payment plan based upon your anticipated tuition & fee costs and your anticipated financial aid (grants, scholarships, federal and state aid, etc.). Past due balances from prior terms that have not been sent to a Collection Agency can be added to your current semester payment plan.
Choose Your Payment Method:
(Cost to Participate)
-
Automatic bank payment (ACH) or eCheck: ($25.00 enrollment fee, per semester.)
-
Credit or Debit Card: (A 2.65% service fee will be added to each monthly payment.)
Returned Enrollment/Payment Fees
-
If the Automatic bank payment (ACH) or eCheck Enrollment Fee is returned for any reason, including non-sufficient funds (NSF), the agreement will be terminated.
-
$30 Returned Payment Fee if a payment is returned, per occurrence of returned payment. Any eCheck/ACH payments returned due to NSF and all Credit/Debit Card payments that are returned will incur the $30 Return Payment Fee.
Notes: Any change in your obligation to CUNY will change the total payment plan balance and remaining monthly payment amounts.
