Monthly Payment Plan
To help you meet your educational expenses, Kirtland Community College is pleased to provide a monthly payment plan offered through Nelnet Campus Commerce. Instead of paying your tuition bill in one lump sum, you may budget your tuition and fees for up to five months (fall/winter). This is not a loan program, so there is no debt incurred, no credit search, and no interest or finance charge assessed on the unpaid balance. The sooner you register for classes and begin your payments, the smaller your monthly payments will be.
How it Works
Students with a minimum balance of $100 can enroll for the payment plan. Upon enrollment, you are simply authorizing Nelnet to automatically process tuition payments from your financial institution or to make monthly charges to your credit card.
The only cost to budget monthly payments through Nelnet is a $30.00 per semester non-refundable enrollment fee. All payments will be processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the amount due to Kirtland is paid in full. You may budget your tuition one of two ways:
Automatic Bank Payments (ACH)
With this option, there’s no more hassle of writing and mailing checks by the due date or having to pay in person to avoid a late fee. Your financial institution will make all the monthly payments on your behalf, from either a checking or savings account, based on the information entered on the agreement.
Credit Card Payment
VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are all accepted. If you select this option, all the monthly installments will automatically be charged to the credit card designated on the agreement.
How to Enroll
Once registered for classes, decide if you want to pay by checking, savings or by credit card and complete the online application. Following is a list of information needed to complete the agreement:

E-mail of the person responsible for making the payments

Missed payment fees are payable to Nelnet for each payment attempt that is missed. Your bank or credit card company may also assess a fee. Missed payment notifications are sent from Nelnet to the email provided on the application.
Should your down payment fail, Nelnet will terminate the agreement and a new application will need to be completed.
