We are pleased to offer payment plan options from Nelnet Business Solutions for Education. Nelnet is a tuition management plan that provides students with a low cost option for budgeting tuition and fees.

The Nelnet payment plan will allow you to make payments by

• Automatic monthly payments from your checking or savings account, or credit card.
• The only cost to budget monthly payments through Nelnet is a $35 per semester non-refundable enrollment fee, a portion of which is remitted to Normandale, and convenience/service fees for credit/debit card transactions.

Through Nelnet, you will be able to

• Arrange for a down payment and monthly payments
• Pay in full from checking or savings account (fees apply)
• Pay in full with a credit card (fees apply)
• You will need the following information to complete the payment plan application:
  • Checking or Savings Account Number (you can have multiple accounts but you have to specify what account to use and you can only make two changes per semester)
  • Bank Routing Number (The first 9 digits located on the bottom left of your check. The number begins with a 0, 1, or 2)
  • Credit Card Number and Expiration Date (if using a credit card to make payments)
