Nelnet Payment Plan

Allegany College of Maryland is pleased to enlist the services of Nelnet to make the payment process easier for you. Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) is a tuition management plan that provides you with a low cost option for budgeting tuition and other educational expenses. It is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The only cost to budget monthly payments through NBS is a $35 per semester nonrefundable NBS sign-up fee. This plan allows students and families to avoid the traditional lump-sum payments and spread costs evenly for up to 5 monthly payments.

How it Works

Using Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) is simple. You may budget your tuition and fees one of two ways:

1. Checking/Savings Account (ACH) - ACH payments are electronic payments you have authorized NBS to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds from your account to ACM's account. Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

2. Credit Card Option - Many payers have requested the option of charging their monthly tuition payment to their credit card. This 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 card you designate on the 5th of each month. Payments will be charged each month until the balance is paid in full.

When you sign up with Nelnet, be sure to have the following information:

Your student ID number and your balance due amount.
The name, address, and e-mail address of the person responsible for making the payments.
To protect your privacy, you will need to create your own unique Nelnet Access Code. Please be sure that it is something you can easily remember.
Sign-up Fee
Account information for the person responsible for payment.
If paying by automatic bank payments you will need the bank name, telephone number, account number, and the bank routing number. (This information can often be located on a check.)
If paying by credit card, you will need the credit card number and expiration date
