Nelnet Payment Plan

What if I pay Nelnet more than the amount due on my KU account?

Nelnet will forward all payments to KU weekly. If a payment applies to your KU account that causes a credit balance to exist, KU will send an overpayment refund to you after the 50% refund period has passed for the semester. Refunds are sent to your bank account via direct deposit or to your billing or permanent address as listed in the Enroll & Pay system. You can setup direct deposit at https://sa.ku.edu - Student Financials Tile > Direct Deposit. Addresses can be updated by selecting the Personal Details Tile.

When is my payment due to Nelnet?

Nelnet payments are due on the 1st of the month.  An account is past due on the 5th of the month the payment is due with Nelnet. 

What happens if I do not pay Nelnet or KU the full amount due on my KU account?

A hold will be placed on your KU account preventing you from enrolling in future semesters or receiving a transcript until your KU account is paid in full. KU will assess late payment fees when payments are not received on time. In addition, your Nelnet account will be cancelled by Nelnet if payment is past due by 30 days. If this occurs, you will owe all outstanding amounts to KU immediately and be subject to KU late payment fees policy. 

Does Nelnet charge late fees or can they cancel my payment plan?

Nelnet must receive the required payment by the 1st of the month that the payment is due. In addition, your Nelnet account will be cancelled by Nelnet if payment is past due by 30 days. If this occurs, you will owe all outstanding amounts to KU immediately and be subject to KU late payment fees policy. 

Does Nelnet have access to my KU account or prepay my KU account balance?

Nelnet does not prepay your bill nor does Nelnet have access to specific details on your KU account. KU does not automatically send student personal information to Nelnet (i.e. name, address, phone number); therefore, you should contact Nelnet to update personal information records as needed.
