Nelnet Business Solutions eCashier

To help you meet your educational expenses, Southwest Texas College is pleased to offer Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) as a convenient online payment option. Students who choose to use NBS may select installment plans that are spread over several months, depending on the length of the semester. They may choose to make payments from their checking or savings account or by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover credit cards. In addition to the variety of choices available, the student also has the convenience of paying online as soon as he or she has registered.

The only cost to budget monthly payments through NBS is a $30.00 per semester nonrefundable NBS Enrollment Fee.

If you wish to pay in full instead of creating a monthly payment plan, there is a credit card fee of $5.00.

How NBS Works

After completing registration and confirming your schedule and balance due, you will click on one of the eCashier links and will be taken to the NBS eCashier payment login screen.

Please have the following information available:

  1. The 7-digit Student ID number assigned by Southwest Texas College (your Colleague ID number).
  2. The name, address, and e-mail address of the person responsible for making the payments.
  3. If paying by automatic bank payments, you will need the bank name, telephone number, account number, and the bank routing number - most of this information is located on your check.
  4. If paying by credit card, you will need the credit card number and expiration date.

To protect your privacy, you will be asked to create a unique NBS Access Code during your enrollment process - be sure it is something you can easily remember!

You may budget your tuition and fees one of two ways:

  1. Automatic Bank Payment (ACH)—ACH payments are those payments you have authorized NBS to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at Southwest Texas College. 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—Paying with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. Payments will be charged on the 5th of each month until the balance is paid in full.
