Estrella Mountain Community College is excited to offer an online student tuition payment plan through Nelnet Campus Commerce.

The payment plan is designed to help you budget the cost of your tuition into your monthly expenses. This is not a loan program.

**Do you currently have an active payment plan and need to change a scheduled payment date? Students have the ability to change ONE of their upcoming payment dates.**

For instructions, please review the steps noted in the Change a Payment Schedule Date user guide.

With the Nelnet Campus Commerce Payment Plan you can:

  • Select installment plans that are spread over several months, depending on the length of the semester.
  • Use Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) option to authorize Nelnet Campus Commerce to process payments from your financial institution.
  • Make payments from your checking, savings, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover credit card or via a prepaid debit or credit card.
  • Authorized a third party if you would like a guardian/parent or another person to obtain payment plan access/information as it relates to the agreement only.
  • Review the payment plan agreement and payment schedule online.
