Nelnet Tuition Payment
College Tuition and Fees Payment Plan
Having a plan for covering the costs of college is an important step toward graduation. Augusta Technical College is pleased to enlist the services of Nelnet to make the process easier for you. Working together, Augusta Technical College and Nelnet will provide you with sensible strategies for paying for tuition and fees.
The Nelnet Automatic Payment Plan
A. Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) - ACH payments are those payments you have authorized Nelnet to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have preapproved for your expenses at Augusta Technical College. Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.
B. Credit Card Option - Paying with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. If you elect to use this option, your monthly payment, along with a convenience fee, will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. The convenience fee is in addition to the nonrefundable Nelnet Enrollment Fee. Payments will be charged on the 5th of each month until the balance is paid in full. Payments are processed by American Card Services, Inc
