Payment & Billing

Cornerstone University is proud to offer NelNet Business Solutions (NBS) as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The cost to budget your interest free monthly payment plan is a $50 per semester nonrefundable enrollment fee. You may budget your tuition and fees via Automatic Bank Payment or Credit Card Options.  If you choose to make your monthly payments using a credit card or debit card rather than by ACH from your checking or savings account, a 2.75% transaction fee will be assessed on each payment.  There is no transaction fee for those who use their checking or savings accounts for payment.

There are several payment options available. These options include:

Fall Payment Schedule    

If not participating in the payment plan, full payment is due August 1. Payment in full may be made online using e-cashier.

*Please note:  If you sign up for the payment plan after August 1, you will still be assessed the $100 late fee since payment is due on August 1.  The August 22 date simply reflects how payments will be made if you sign up at the later time.

J-Term Payment-Traditional Undergrad Students

J-Term Payment is part of the spring bill and can be included in the block rate. If a student has 12 credits for the spring and 3 credits for J-term, that student will have no additional tuition charge above the block rate. If a student has 15 credits for the spring and 3 credits for J-term, that student will be charged the block rate plus 1 overload credit. If a student is taking 6 credits for the spring and 3 credits for J-term, the student will be charged for 9 credits at the per credit hour charge.

Spring (J-Term charges included) Payment Schedule

You must sign up for the NBS program each semester; being enrolled for the fall semester does not automatically enroll you for the spring semester.

Full payment is due January 1.  Payment in full may be made online using e-cashier.

*Please note:  If you sign up for the payment plan after January 1, you will still be assessed the $100 late fee since payment is due on January 1.  The January 10 date simply reflects how payments will be made if you sign up at the later time.

Summer Payment    

Summer bills must be paid before your classes begin. There is no payment plan option for summer classes. Alternative loans are available.
