Making a Payment

New Online Payments and e-billing

Starting in Fall 2022, all billing will be done electronically via Nelnet, ensuring a convenient, secure, cost-effective, and paperless process. Printed bills will no longer be mailed. Students can add parents or a third party as authorized users and will receive automatic email notifications. Payments can be done via bank account or credit cards. Payment plans are also available through the due date on the bill.

Students can check their Hilbert email in June for their fall bill which will be due July 1, 2022.

Hilbert also currently offers a monthly payment program which divides the semester’s tuition into four monthly payments. Effective with the Fall 2022 semester, the finance charge ranges from $45-$100, depending upon the amount financed on the plan. You will be required to complete a tuition plan promissory note. Payments received after the ten-day grace period following the due date are assessed a $35 late fee.

To access Nelnet, log into your Self-service account. On the Finance tab, select Payment Options.

Pay Bill on Nelnet

Employer Tuition Reimbursement

If you are eligible for tuition reimbursement from your employer, you are allowed to sign an employer payment promissory note to defer payment until two weeks after the grade report is mailed. The finance charge for this note ranges from $45-$100, depending upon the number of credit hours. You are responsible for payment of full charges, including the finance fee.

Payment Policies

Tuition and fees are billed in advance for advance-registered students. Those who register through the drop/add period are billed immediately and payment is due upon receipt of the invoice.

All tuition balances are payable by the published due date on the invoice. Preferred payment method is on-line, however, cash, check, MasterCard, VISA, and Discover are currently acceptable in the office. Payment arrangements for any outstanding balance must be made by the published due date on the invoice. Failure to respond by the payment due date will result in a late fee.

 Notice to customers paying with a credit card - Effective September 1, 2022, a surcharge of 3.50% will be imposed when paying with a credit card, which is not greater than our cost of acceptance. The adjustment will appear on your receipt. The College does not surcharge debit cards.  Any payments made with a debit card or cash/check will not include a surcharge. This fee is not charged or paid to Hilbert College.

For delinquent accounts, outside collection and legal action will be taken to secure payment due to the college. The cost of these collection services will be the student’s responsibility.

If your account is not fully paid or deferred upon by the payment due date you must contact the Student Finance Office, located on the second floor of Franciscan Hall, for further instructions.

 

Financial Aid Deferments

Upon completion of properly validated financial aid award documents and loan applications, the Student Finance Office will defer the amount of the estimated grants and loans against the institutional charges for the semester. It’s the student’s responsibility to respond to any requirements in a timely manner.

Failure to do so will result in the loss of the deferment, late charges may be assessed and payment will be expected immediately. If loss of financial aid results in non-payment of the account, the account may be placed with a collection agency. The collection fee (up to 50% of debt) and, if necessary, litigation costs, will be the student’s responsibility.

Contact our Student Finance Office
