Pay Your Balance
Students have many options for paying tuition and fees at CF:
1. NelNet Payment Plan
CF has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to offer a tuition installment plan to help students afford their education. Students may enroll in the plan for any semester.
Using Nelnet, you can pay your tuition and fees over time via monthly payments.
Students can set up payment by credit/debit card or automatic bank payment (ACH)
Steps to Enroll:
- Log in to your MyCF Student Portal.
- Click on the Student Accounts tab.
- Click on the Payment and Refunds.
- Create a Nelnet account by clicking on “Go to Nelnet”.
- Enroll in Nelnet Payment Plan.
Cost to Participate:
Depending on the number of payments, there is an enrollment fee per semester. The fee ranges from $35-$45, depending on when you enroll. If a payment is returned, there is a $30 returned payment fee.
The earlier a student enrolls, the more options are available! To see enrollment deadlines, required down payments, and other payment details, visit MyCollegePaymentPlan.com/CF. Please note that all down and full payments are processed immediately.
2. Pay with Credit Card Online
We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express. A 3% merchant fee (4.25% for international students) will be added for tuition or fee payments made with a credit or debit card.

The final page will show if the transaction was approved. The payment will reflect on the student account within 24 hours.
