NELNET Payment Plan

Paying for the rising cost of a college education is a concern for nearly every student and family. To help you meet your educational expenses, Georgia Southwestern State University is pleased to offer Nelnet Campus Commerce (NCC) as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges and there is no credit check. Enrollment in this plan is easy and available online through GSW RAIN.

Payment Methods

Automatic Bank Payments (ACH)

ACH payments are payments you have authorized NCC to process on behalf of GSW. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds you have pre-approved for your expenses at GSW. Payments may be made from your checking or savings account.

Credit Card/Debit Card

If you elect to use this payment method, your monthly payment, along with a convenience fee, will be automatically charged to the credit card your designate. The convenience fee is in addition to the enrollment fee. Scheduled payments are processed on the last day of the month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. Down payments and the enrollment fee are deducted immediately.
