The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has a centralized billing system. After the application fee has been sent to University Housing, remaining payments should be made to the Bursar’s Office. University Housing charges, meal plans, fees and any other incidental University Housing charges will be billed to the student through this system. The monthly bills are generally posted around the 25th day of each month and due the 12th day of the following month. It is the student’s responsibility to view their account/bill through the University’s MyRed portal and make payments, as directed, to the Bursar’s office.
The Husker Deferred Payment Plan (HDPP) offers students and parents an alternative payment option to ease the burden of having to make one large payment each semester. Students can either pay the full amount of their semester bill on the semester’s first payment due date or pay it in two or three monthly installments. The plan is available for the first and second semesters to all enrolled UNL students and covers tuition, mandatory fees, and contracted University Housing charges. Go to studentaccounts.unl.edu for more information.
The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid will credit all awards to the student’s UNL Student Account to be applied against tuition, fees, housing, and other institutional charges that have been incurred. Payments made for University Housing are transferable to other charges on the centralized bill, which will have a summary page detailing the specific charges and telephone numbers to call for questions about those charges. Unpaid bills are subject to late fees and possible cancellation of the University Housing contract.
For further information on receipt of payments (excluding the contract processing fee) and financial aid, contact the Husker Hub (402) 472-2030.
