Payment Plan Information
Colby-Sawyer partners with a Nelnet to allow students and families to break their tuition bill down into monthly payments. Everyone is qualified to use the Nelnet service, and once enrolled, payments are made directly to Nelnet.
The college does not share information regarding your student account with Nelnet. Please refer to your college bill for your budget amount. If any changes are made to your Colby-Sawyer student account, it is the student’s or family’s responsibility to adjust their plan through Nelnet.
Payment plans are available April 1 for the academic year.
The college reserves the right to cancel your payment plan — especially for late or non-payment. The remaining balance of cancelled plans is transferred back to the student’s account and becomes immediately due in full to the college.
The payment plans are setup so that they will be paid in full before the end of the term. If you have not paid your balance in full, you will not be able to register or attend the next term.
