Payment Plan Tips

• Anticipated aid is already included in the amount due. 
• Payments are automatic and the due date can not be changed.
• If the payment plan is out of balance, a message will show below the amount due indicating the payment plan is either more or less then the amount due and can be adjusted by clicking the link to adjust the payment plan.
• Student Accounts periodically reviews payment plans and will send an email to students if the plan is out of balance and requires an adjustment. If Student Accounts decreases the payment plan, a message will be sent from Nelnet to the plan owner.
• More than one plan can be established for the account. For example, a student and an authorized party can each have a plan or two authorized parties can each have a plan.
