If you are paying through a deferred payment plan and fail to make a scheduled payment, you will not be dropped for non-payment. However, a hold will be placed on your NSC student account and that hold will remain until your Nelnet account is made current (i.e., you have caught up with your scheduled payments). It may take 24-48 hours for the Nelnet account to be updated on the college's end. Please plan for this delay.
You also remain responsible for keeping track of courses added to your schedule, and for dropping courses you do not want, including wait-listed courses.
The hold on your NSC student account means you will not be able to register for future quarters and you will not be able to obtain financial aid.
Reminder: Students must sign up each quarter for the deferred payment service.
Nelnet Availability
Availability of Nelnet is determined by NSC's registration calendar. Please be aware the college may elect not to have it available during specific times and dates during registration.
Please review your agreement balance online through ctcLink to confirm changes when received financial aid is received or a class is dropped or added.
Information On Returned Payments
Should an automatic bank payment or credit card payment be returned, a $30 returned payment fee will be automatically assessed to your account. You will be notified of the returned payment via mail or e-mail by Nelnet.
