Payment Plan Options
There are two payment plan options. There is a $30 service fee for either plan. Participation in either payment plan does not guarantee the ability to register for subsequent terms. The registration hold is automatically removed after payment in full is received. Balances due to Accelerated Program courses are not eligible for either payment plan option.
St. Cloud State Basic Payment Plan
This plan is self-monitored. You are responsible for making payments by the deadlines listed on our Important Dates web page. You will not receive a statement reminding you that a payment is due.
Nelnet Business Solutions e-Cashier Payment Plan
Nelnet Business Solutions, Inc. (NBS) is an external payment plan provider and partner with St. Cloud State University. If you choose to use NBS, you will arrange for automatic monthly payments with or without a down payment. Monthly payments can be withdrawn from your checking or savings account or charged to your Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. Participants may update demographic and account information online. Go to the NelNet Plan link in your e-Services account under "Billing & Payments" to sign up for or to manage a current plan.
Third Party Payments
When tuition and fees are billed to another federal/state/county agency or an employer, the sponsoring agency is called a third party. Authorization must be submitted to Business Services (720 4th Ave S St. Cloud MN 56301-4498 or faxed to 320-308-5113) before the due date so classes do not get dropped in the registration cancellation for non-payment process.
Authorizations are posted to your financial aid award as they are received, but will credited to your bill at the same time other financial aid is applied. If you look on-line and the third party award does not appear on your financial aid account, check with the sponsoring agency before contacting Business Services at 320-308-4008.
Unpaid Balance Hold
An unpaid balance hold is placed on a student account when an unpaid balance exists for the current or a previous term after the due dates. This hold prevents a student from registering for classes in subsequent terms, or from obtaining transcripts and diplomas.
Unpaid balance holds will remain on a student's account until the past due balance is paid in full. Once the balance is paid, the hold is automatically removed.
Hold exceptions can only be made at the discretion of the Director of Student Accounts in the Business Services Office.
