College refund deadlines and policy apply. If a class is withdrawn after the refund deadline, you will still be responsible for making the payment.

If a third party is paying on your behalf, you must first set them up as an Authorized Payer in Nelnet. After that set up, the authorized user will receive an invitation to Nelnet.
