Set up a Nelnet Payment Plan

Ithaca College has a payment plan opportunity through Nelnet to pay for each semester with the option to submit 5 or 4 monthly payments.

Each semester, a family may enroll in the monthly payment plan to pay for the semester bill. There is an enrollment fee of $25 for each semester enrolled and re-enrollment is required for each semester used. Enrollment does not carry from one semester to another.

The deadlines for enrollment for Fall 2020's 4 monthly payment plan is September 14th.

Payments will be automatically debited on the 27th of each month.

Helpful Notes

Remember to re-enroll for payment plan contracts each semester.

Payment Plans do not automatically account for adjustments after they have been set. If financial aid or outside payments have been submitted after the plan has been set, please contact Student Financial Services to make adjustments to your plan.

Student Financial Services cannot make adjustments to the next set payment within two days of auto-debit date.
