Instructions on Enrolling in a Nelnet Payment Plan
- Enrolling in a Payment Plan
-
To make use of the online payment plan, you must:
- Be enrolled in credit academic classes
- Have a U.S. checking account, savings account, debit card or valid credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover)
- Have an e-mail address and phone number
- Have access to Lone Star College myLoneStar from any college webpage
- Know your student ID number (available in myLoneStar)
- Pay a $15 Payment Plan Enrollment Fee plus 40% of total tuition and fees at time of enrollment.
Installments will be drawn from the same account used to pay the initial deposit. If you do not want installments drawn from this account, you must change your saved payment method through Nelnet. Any changes to payment methods should be made 48 hours prior to the installment due date. Please ensure funds are available in your account on the installment due date to prevent being charged additional fees.

Resulting collection costs will be added to the original debt and the student must pay these costs, as well as attorney’s fees, if applicable.
Furthermore, all unpaid obligations will result in a hold on student records, diplomas, transcripts and future registration activity.
