NelNet

Setting up a Nelnet Payment Plan, a third-party payment plan provider, and remaining active and current in your payments allows you to stay enrolled in your courses, even if you have a current balance due. It is convenient and makes college more affordable by allowing you to pay for tuition and fees over time.

Tuition payment plans break down your tuition balance into affordable monthly payments. There’s no interest, payment options are flexible, setup fees are affordable, and it’s easy to enroll. You can access the NelNet website HERE.

To adjust your remaining payment plan balance to reflect your account balance as presented in e-Services contact the business office via email to accounts.receivable@minnesotanorth.edu or by calling 218-403-9201.
