Payment plan enrollment for Winter Quarter 2026 begins on November 3. For more information
about enrollment dates for future quarters see the NelNet website.
NOTE: Only set up a payment plan if:
- You have registered for classes and you know your balance due,
- Your financial aid has already posted to your student account, and
- You have a balance owing of at least $100.
Simple Steps to Enroll
- From your ctcLink student homepage select the Financial Account tile then select Nelnet
Payment Plan under Payment Plans.
- Click the button on the right to enroll in a plan through Nelnet. It is the little
gray unlabeled button on the right.
- You will be redirected to Nelnet to create your account.
- If any automatic payment fails for the enrollment fee or for the down payment, your
payment plan may be terminated.
- All other failed scheduled payments will be automatically re-attempted one additional
time.
- Nelnet will charge a $30 fee for each failed payment attempt. You and the college
will be notified if this occurs. If there are still insufficient funds after the two
payment re-attempts, you must make the payment at the cashier’s office located at
the college. Your bank or financial institution may also charge a fee for these failed
payment attempts.
- If you continue to owe on your student account after the last regularly scheduled
monthly payment, your student account will be blocked from any future quarter registration
until your account is paid in full.
- If your plan is not paid in full by the end of the quarter your account may be transferred
to a collection agency and you may be dropped from future classes that you have registered
for.
The $20 fee is used to support the cost of the payment plan service with the provider,
Nelnet Business Solutions. The payment plan is strictly an optional service for students
to provide the convenience of spreading the cost of tuition over the course of the
enrolled quarter.
Balance Adjustments: If your balance has changed due to changes in your class schedule or financial aid,
please do not assume your balance will automatically be adjusted. You should review
your payment plan balance online. You should also contact the YVC Cashiers Office
by email to confirm the change.
Timeline in order for balance changes to be effective on the next payment cycle:
- Balance increases must be made at least 10 business days before the next payment is
due or your balance will be adjusted on the subsequent payment.
- Balance decreases must be made at least 3 business days before the next payment is
due or your balance will be adjusted on the subsequent payment.
- You will receive an email notification if there has been any change in the preauthorized
payment amount.
Refunds for class withdrawals are based on the college’s refund policy.
All refunds for payments paid via the payment plan will be refunded to the payment
method used, the only exception are American Express and ACH payments, which will
be refunded with a physical check mailed to your address on file with YVC, regardless
of the payment method used.
If you withdraw from any classes after the 100% refund period, you may still owe the
balance on your payment plan.
If you withdraw after all college refund periods have passed, you will continue to
owe the full balance remaining on your payment plan.
The Tuition Payment Plan covers tuition and course fees that are charged at registration
for each quarter you enroll in the payment plan. Examples of fees that cannot be paid
with a payment plan are assessment testing, graduation fees, official transcript fees,
books, tools, fines and non-sufficient fund fees.
- Monthly payments will be processed according to the payment schedule you select in
the enrollment process. Your payments will then be processed on the 5th or the 20th of each month.
- If the payment date falls on a weekend or banking holiday observed by the Federal
Reserve, the payment will be attempted on the next business day for both credit card
and ACH (automatic bank account withdrawal).
- If you want to know the time of day the payment will be withdrawn from your account,
contact your financial institution.
Successful payments are posted to student accounts within 7 business days. As long
as your payment was successful, you are not at risk of being dropped due to non-payment.
Please notify the YVC Cashier by email at if your balance is $0.00.
If it is at least 3 business days prior to a scheduled payment date, no Nelnet payments
will be made from your bank account or credit card.
You MUST update card information online through your MyPaymentPlan account or contact
Nelnet at 800.609.8056 or the payment may not go through and Nelnet will charge you
a $30 fee.
NOTE: The "Responsible Party" listed on the payment plan must be an authorized signer for
the new credit or debit card.
- You will be allowed to register if you are still in good standing with your current
payment plan.
- You may be dropped for non-payment from future quarters if your payment plan becomes
delinquent.

website is not available for making changes to inactive accounts.
- You should correct the account information ASAP. If your account remains inactive
due to incorrect account information, you may continue to owe on your account and
are at risk of being blocked.
