ANNOUNCEMENTS
The May consolidated student billing is due Friday, June 12th.
The Bursar's Office has moved to 124 Canfield Administration (across the hall from previous location).
The following payment options are available for your Consolidated Student Bill:
ONLINE PAYMENT OPTIONS - AVAILABLE 24/7
Students - Make Payment via MyRED
Parents/Guests - Make Payment via UNL E-Payment System
Bank Account - Low cost, easy and convenient
PLEASE NOTE: Beginning May 2026, a 0.1% transaction fee, with a maximum fee of $5, will be assessed by our processor for bank account payments. Ex: $1,000 payment at 0.1% = $1 Fee
Transactions appear on your financial institution records as 'TRANSACT CAMPUS UNL'.
Verify your checking or savings bank account number and routing transit number and make sure you have sufficient funds before making a payment. Errors will result in a non-refundable returned payment fee.
Credit Card - Only online
A nonrefundable convenience fee will be added to all card payments. This charge is assessed by and paid directly to our payment processor CASHNet SMARTPAY - Transact. The fee is as follows: Domestic Cards - 2.95% ($3 minimum) International Cards - 4.25% ($3 minimum)
Card payments are not accepted over the phone or in person at the Bursar’s Office.
Cards accepted:
Using your debit card? Consider paying by Bank Account instead. Bank Accounts payments have minimal cost to you. You DO NOT use the numbers off of your card. Instead, you use the routing and account number from the underlying bank account your debit card is associated with. If you do not have a blank check to obtain these numbers, your bank can provide you with the appropriate routing and account numbers for payment.
International Payments
We offer multiple international payment options that can be initiated through MyRED. After completing the required fields, you will be presented with the available payment methods. A new quote must be obtained each time payment is made or if the quoted time frame expires. Once the payment is received by our processor, it will post to your student account on MyRED. Until the settlement is complete, the payment will show as PENDING and will not be seen in MyRED.
Review Paying Your Bill with Foreign Currency for more detailed instructions of this payment option.
HUSKER PAYMENT PLAN
Enrollment is required for each term you want to participate:
- Fall enrollment is August 25th - September 12th

The University of Nebraska –Lincoln partners with Nelnet Campus Commerce to offer the Husker Payment Plan as an option to our students. It allows you to split your charges for fall and spring into three or four easy payments.
After your initial enrollment, installment amounts will adjust as new charges and/or credits post to your UNL student account. You will receive notifications of any plan changes from Nelnet Campus Commerce.
Prior semester balances must be resolved before you may participate in this plan. As a Husker Payment Plan participant, you will continue to receive billing notices on a regular basis from the University of Nebraska -Lincoln's Student Accounts Office.
