MyPaymentPlan

The only cost to budget monthly payments with MyPaymentPlan is the following:

• $30 enrollment fee (nonrefundable).
• Once you complete the online agreement, the enrollment fee will be deducted within 24-48 business hours.

You do not need to sign up for MyPaymentPlan if at least ONE of the following conditions is in place by the payment deadlines:

• Awarded financial aid, other than work-study, for the semester (you’ve received an Aims award letter)
• Submitted VA33 Post 9/11 certification paperwork
• Submitted a Sponsor Tuition Authorization
• Submitted the UNC/CSU Cooperative Agreement
• Submitted the required paperwork for a private scholarship or outside funding
• Submitted all required paperwork for the High School Concurrent Enrollment, Career Academy, or Early College Programs

Students can use the simple MyPaymentPlan system to budget tuition and fees in one of two ways:

1. Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) - Checking Accounts and Debit Cards: ACH payments are those payments you have authorized Nelnet Business Solutions to process directly with your U.S. financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have preapproved for your expenses at Aims Community College. Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th or 20th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. You will need your checking/savings routing and account numbers. Please note: The ACH option is available to you if your banking institution is located in the U.S.
2. Credit Card/Debit Card Option - See disclaimer*: Charging monthly tuition payments to a credit/debit card enables you to take advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company. If you elect to use this option, your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit or debit card you designate. Payments will be charged on the 5th or 20th of each month until the balance is paid in full. If you wish to use this option, you may enroll by registering online through MyPaymentPlan.

*Debit cards usually carry a daily or per-transaction limit. If you choose to use your debit card, you may risk having your payment declined and being charged a $30 returned payment fee by Nelnet. The cardholder can call the card company or bank before signing up for MyPaymentPlan to request that the daily or per-transaction limit be increased to allow them to use their debit card, but this is at their own risk. PLEASE review your daily or per-transaction limits on your debit card if you attempt to use this option, or you will be liable for the returned payment fee assessed by Nelnet Business Solutions.

*We highly recommend that if you wish for the payment to be withdrawn from your checking or savings account, you choose the ACH option and complete the required account information. Nelnet will notify you via mail or email if your payment is returned for any reason.

Enrolling online is simple and secure. The payment plan can accommodate down payments and monthly payments. The following steps will allow you to enroll in MyPayment Plan and agree to the terms and conditions.

Information needed to complete enrollment:

• Student Workday login credentials.
• Financial account information.
• If paying by automatic bank payments, you will need the bank name, telephone number, account number, and the bank routing number. Most of this information is located on your check.
• If paying by credit or debit card, you will need the card number, expiration date, and the CCV number.

How to Enroll in a Payment Plan 

1. Log in to Workday
2. Click on the Finances App
3. On the far right side, click on the " Setup/Manage your payment plan link
4. This will take you to your NBS payment plan account dashboard.

Live chat is available for assistance. 

Parents or other parties who wish to sign up for the payment plan on behalf of a student must contact the student and follow the process above to complete the payment plan. The student can also grant Authorized Party access, which allows the person to obtain their own login to the online payment system to make a payment or set up a payment plan on the student's behalf. 

Please remember that once you have submitted your agreement online, the nonrefundable enrollment fee and any down payment or full payment are deducted immediately.

Do not assume your balance will automatically be adjusted if an additional partial or complete payment is made, financial aid is received, or a class is dropped or added. You should review your agreement balance online through your MyPaymentPlan Account or call the Cashier's Office to confirm the change. You can also check your MyAims email for all NBS email change notifications.

Payment drafts cannot be stopped within 2 business days of the scheduled monthly payment draft.

If your required immediate down payment or enrollment fee fails to process:

• Your MyPaymentPlan contract will be automatically terminated 
• Balance due in full by payment deadlines
• Your banking financial institution may charge you a non-sufficient funds fee for the payment attempts    

If your monthly payment (5th or 20th of the month) fails to process for the first or second drafting attempt:

• Your classes WILL NOT be dropped.
• MyPaymentPlan's servicer will charge you or the responsible party a $30 NSF fee for missing the payment, and you or the responsible party will be notified by email or mail of the failed payment attempt and when it will be reattempted.
• If you attempt to pay Aims directly for that missed payment, the MyPaymentPlan servicer may still try to collect it on the date indicated in the notice.
• Payment reattempts are generally scheduled for the 20th or the 5th of the month following the missed payment date.

If your monthly payment fails for the third drafting attempt (same monthly payment failed for the first attempt, then two more reattempts - three total attempts):

• MyPaymentPlan contract is terminated
• The student or responsible party will receive an email from NBS
• Your classes will not be dropped
• You are responsible for making payments directly to the college
• You or the responsible party is liable for all NSF charges to the MyPaymentPlan servicer and to your banking institution. NSF charges are the student's responsibility. 

IMPORTANT! To make any changes to your banking information or if you have questions about your plan, log in to your MyPaymentPlan account to make the changes, or call the payment plan servicer at (800) 609-8056.

A. You may make changes to the information you provided in this agreement by contacting the institution.
