2. Select the Finance tab. Under the Payments and Refunds section, select Nelnet Portal.

In Person

Payment plans allow you to pay your tuition and fees in up to four payments in the fall (July through October) and spring (November through April) terms — and three-two payments in the summer term (May, June and July). Service fees may apply.

Payment Due Dates

Course Registration and Payments:

• Students must pay outstanding balances to register for courses.
• Students with a balance exceeding $50 are ineligible for registration.

Late Registration Payments:

• If a student registers after the term has started, the add/drop period concludes or after the established payment due date, payment is due within one week after registration.

Billing and Payment Schedule:

• Online bills are generated at least 30 days before the start of a term.
• Payment is required by the due date stated on the statement, typically one week before the term begins.

Late Payments

Students will accrue a late payment fee if acceptable payment arrangements are made after the due date indicated on the statement. Acceptable payment arrangements include:

• Payment in full.
• Having current completed FAFSA on file with all the documents.
• Pending aid that covers the student's balance in full is awarded before the payment due date.
• Approved third-party billing (i.e., veterans) and an active and current payment plan on our Nelnet Portal.

Resources to Pay for Your Education

• Scholarships: Cambridge College offers scholarships to students based on a variety of factors. States and local communities also offer a number of scholarships.
• Financial aid: Federal student loans, grants, etc.
• Employer tuition assistance programs or third-party sponsor: Acceptable if payment is made directly to Cambridge College and is not contingent upon grades. Don't hesitate to contact the Bursar's Office before the beginning of the term so that an invoice can be generated.
• Veteran's benefits: If you are eligible for veteran's educational benefits, please get in touch with the Bursar's Office to discuss your situation.
• Using your funds: See "How to Pay My Tuition Bill" above.

Non-Payment

Students are only able to register once they have paid their outstanding bill. Once acceptable payment arrangements have been made, we can clear you to register online. Students with a balance will have a Bursar restriction ("hold") placed on their account. This restriction prevents access to grades, official transcripts, diplomas and certificates. Students are notified of impending restrictions via email to their Cambridge College email addresses.

Cambridge College will make every effort to work out repayment plans. If a balance remains outstanding, student debts will be submitted to a collection agency if payment is not received. The student is liable for court costs and collection agency fees in such cases. Collection agency fees may total up to 40% of the outstanding bill, as allowed by Massachu­setts law. Cambridge College reserves the right to report account information to a credit bureau.

Non-Payment and Graduation

All tuition and other charges must be paid in full by the published graduation clearance deadline in order to receive graduation clearance from the Bursar’s Office.
