Nelnet Payment Plan Information

NELNET is a payment plan that allows you to spread out your tuition, fees, and book costs over time.  This is not a loan program or financial aid. There is no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check.  It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at CCCC.  Expenses covered include:

  • Tuition & Fees
  • Required Books & Materials
    • The cost of books will be added to your NELNET payment account.
    • Any changes could increase or decrease your monthly payment.
    • Once your NELNET account is set-up, work with the Bookstore to purchase your required books & materials.

Overview

You must enroll in NELNET every semester—plans do not carry over.  Enroll by CCCC payment deadlines to avoid being dropped from your classes.  There is a $300 minimum to enroll.  Payment methods include:

  • Automatic bank draft (ACH)
  • Credit/Debit Card

How to Enroll

Enroll in NELNET online using the QR code or visit the NELNET website. Please read the terms carefully before proceeding. To get started, you’ll need: 

  • A checking account, savings account, or debit/credit card
  • Your student ID number (required to apply your payments correctly)
  • An email address
Processing Time
  • Once NELNET has processed your payment, it will take approximately 10 Business Days to be adjusted in your CCCC student account.
  • NELNET accounts are adjusted to reflect your actual amount due after the add/drop period ends. You will receive an email from NELNET once your account is adjusted showing your new monthly payment amount.
Insufficient Funds
  • A $30 return fee is assessed by NELNET for insufficient funds.  (This fee is not paid by CCCC.)
  • Down payments or enrollment fees returned for any reason will result in NELNET terminating your agreement, and you will not be able to use this service. Please plan accordingly.
  • If a payment on the 5th fails, it will be drafted again on the 20th.  Payments continue until the balance is paid in full.
  • Terminated NELNET agreements will need to be paid at the Business Office window.
  • All collection policies apply to past-due NELNET accounts.
