Setting Up an E-Billing Account

The Student Accounts Office utilizes only electronic billing, and no paper invoices are mailed. Please follow these steps to set up an account with our partner Nelnet Campus Commerce, to view your real time account balance, view your e-bill, make a payment, or set up a payment plan.

Please note: Students must first set up their account through their Student Center in the PeopleSoft portal and then give permission to additional authorized parties.

Each time that an e-bill is produced, Nelnet Campus Commerce will e-mail students and authorized parties registered within the Nelnet system to notify them that a bill is ready to be viewed.
