Student Accounts

The Office of Student Accounts processes tuition bills, collects payments, and handles inquiries regarding the third-party tuition payment plan. Payments for tuition and fees must be received by the published payment deadline, prior to the start of each semester.

Students are permitted to attend classes with any of the following:

  • Zero balance on their student account
  • Pending financial aid (as shown on the student account) in excess of the amount due
  • Successful enrollment in a Nelnet Campus Commerce payment plan
  • Written verification from a third party (such as Veterans Benefits, Vocational Rehabilitation, prepaid plans, tuition exchange, etc.) of payment in full


Failure to pay by the stated deadline will result in:

  • Withdrawal from classes by the Office of the Registrar
  • Cancellation of assigned housing
  • Ineligibility to receive college services, including official student transcripts
