Payment Plan

Fisher has an affiliation with Nelnet Business Solutions. Nelnet offers easy online enrollment for interest-free payment plans, which allow families to finance their balance over the course of the semester.

Students/families who choose to establish a payment plan must enroll online and set up automatic payment deductions from a checking or savings account. There is a $40 enrollment fee per semester to enroll in the payment plan. A down payment is also required on the date of enrollment.

Spring 2024 Payment Plan is available November 30, 2023. Dates to enroll by for spring 2024:

You must establish a payment plan by the due date on your bill for your account to be considered settled. We offer a range of enrollment dates to accommodate for different bill due dates. Payments are processed on the 20th day of each month until the balance is paid in full.

NOTE: All down payments are processed immediately!

Detailed steps for online enrollment can be found in our FisherPay Guide. For additional help establishing a payment plan, please call Nelnet at (800) 609-8056.

Employer Payments

Payment/Reimbursement from Employer

If your employer will pay your tuition charges upon completion of the semester, you may use the Payment/Reimbursement from Employer Plan (PREP) form to defer your balance. A completed PREP form must be submitted to Student Accounts by the due date on your bill to avoid a late fee. The PREP form is available in our office and on our Documents and Forms page. Note: Only the portion of your bill that your employer agrees to pay will be deferred. All other amounts should be paid by the due date on your bill.

Direct Billing to Your Employer

You may defer your balance if your employer will pay the College in full upon receipt of a bill. You must provide Student Accounts with a letter from your employer stating your name, the semester, the dollar amount they will pay, and where the bill should be sent. The letter should be submitted to Student Accounts by the due date on your bill in order to avoid a late fee.
