Northeastern University offers monthly payment plans, administered through Nelnet Campus Commerce (formerly Tuition Management Systems)
The monthly payment plan allows you to divide your educational costs into smaller, more manageable, installments. In using this plan, it can reduce your need to borrow, thereby, reducing the overall cost of education and can be combined with your financial aid award or other financing options. Because the payment plan is not a loan, you do not have to pay interest, only an enrollment fee of $35 per term. To enroll in a payment plan, or learn more, please visit northeastern.afford.com or contact Nelnet Campus Commerce at 855.217.0551.
Note: payments toward the monthly payment plan can be made by e-check. Please note, monthly payment plans cannot be used for past due balances.
