Payment Plan Tips 

• Payment plans can be set up for less then the full amount due on the student account if needed by editing the amount when signing up for the plan.
• Anticipated aid is already included in the amount due. 
• Payments are automatic and the due date can not be changed.
• If the payment plan is out of balance, a message will show below the amount due indicating the payment plan is either more or less then the amount due and can be adjusted by clicking the link to adjust the payment plan.
• Student Accounts periodically reviews payment plans and will send an email to students if the plan is out of balance and requires an adjustment. If Student Accounts decreases the payment plan, a message will be sent from Nelnet to the plan owner.
• Starting with the Fall 2023 semester, more than one plan can be established for the account. For example, a student and an authorized party can each have a plan or two authorized parties can each have a plan. 

Availability of the payment plan is determined by Bryn Mawr College. Please be aware the college may elect not to have the payment plan available during specific times and dates during registration.
