How to Make a Payment
All Student Types
Payment is due before the first day of the semester unless a payment plan has been set up. SEU accepts several forms of payment. (See below for specifics.)
Students must authorize anyone paying on their account. Here’s how to add an authorized user.
- Log in to JICS
- Select the Student Finances tab
- Select the Nelnet Student Financial Information link
- On the right side of the page, you may add an authorized user, giving them a personal username and password for access and the ability to pay.
For instructions on setting up Parent Portal access, visit this page.
- Log into JICS (student)
- Select the Student Finances tab
- Select the Nelnet Student Financial Information link
- Select “Make a Payment”
- If using a debit or credit card, there is a 2.8% convenience fee for each transaction.
To pay by eCheck, use the routing and checking account information from your bank account. Please enter your banking information as shown in the example below.
- Routing number will always come first and is exactly 9 digits.
- Account number will vary in length. This may appear before or after the check number. Please include any leading zeros, but omit spaces and non-numeric characters.
- The Check number is not needed — please do not include the check number.
- It is important to enter your banking account information accurately, or your payment cannot be successfully completed. If you have any questions, please contact your bank. Please DO NOT enter your debit card number for this method of payment.
- There is no fee to pay via eCheck (ACH).
Nelnet and Southeastern University have partnered to give students the option of making payments over a 3 to 5 month period.
