Enroll in a Payment Plan in Nelnet - International Payment Plan

Overview

This guide will help students or their designated third party user(s) to enroll in a payment plan. Monthly payment plans are available for a limited time each semester after charges are released in the fall or spring. No interest is charged to participate in a payment plan, however there is a $71 enrollment fee. Payment plan amounts can be made in the amount of your choice. Students must have a confirmed financial plan to pay their full semester balance by the payment deadline for each semester.

The International Payment Plan in Nelnet, processed through Convera, operates on an invoice basis and does not offer automatic monthly withdrawals from a bank account. Participants must access Nelnet via Workday each month to manually initiate their payment through Convera, ensuring it is completed by the first-of-the-month deadline. Timely action and careful planning are essential for continued participation in the International Payment Plan.

These instructions assume that 1) the student or third party user has accessed Workday and 2) the student or third party user has created a Nelnet account. This starts with accessing Workday, and then navigating to Nelnet. If you have not set up a Nelnet account, please navigate to the Create a Nelnet Account instructions.
