Nelnet Campus Commerce does not have access to a student's bill. Your Nelnet Campus Commerce plan is set up for the payment plan amount you authorize. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the remaining balance owed after accounting for the Nelnet Campus Commerce plan is paid to UVM.
The full semester payment plan amount will be shown on the UVM student account once it is set up. Thus, it is important to review any remaining balance due or credit balance shown on the UVM account.

- Late payments are subject to a $40 late fee (paid to Nelnet Campus Commerce).
- You are encouraged to contact Nelnet Campus Commerce to discuss automatic payment options to ensure your payments will always arrive on-time.
