Authorized Payers
If you have been authorized by a student through Nelnet to pay the student account visit www.nbspayments.com. When a student authorizes you to access their student account and make payments on their behalf you will receive an email notification from Nelnet Campus Commerce. The email will include a link to Nelnet to accept the invitation.
Payment Due Date
Payment is required for all enrolled students. Late fees will be applied to unpaid accounts during the sixth and tenth weeks of the term. See more information on the late fees page. If you are a financial aid recipient, financial aid funding will be disbursed and applied to your account on the 3rd week of the term.
Billing/Invoices
In general, we do not send paper invoices to students owing for course tuition and fees. We send monthly (and often more frequently) e-bill notifications to students. E-bills are sent to student MyChemeketa emails and to any other email address they have set up in their profile in Nelnet. E-bills are also sent to Authorized Payers. Students can review all their statement history online.

SOMEONE ELSE PAYING FOR CLASSES
You can authorize a payer through your Account Profile in MyChemeketa. The person will have access to your student account information via Nelnet and in person. The person will not have access to your MyChemeketa information such as grades, current enrollment, registration transactions, etc. An Authorized Payer can only view the account history (including previous billings), current balance, and process a payment on your behalf.
To set up an authorized payer-
- Log into myapps.chemeketa.edu
- Select the Student Self-Service tile in the shortcut menu on the homepage
- Select the Pay your account link under the Student Account menu
- The payment page Nelnet Campus Commerce will open in a new screen
- Select the Add An Authorized Party link on right hand side of screen and provide information requested
The payer will be notified by email (to the email address you provide) they have been given access and a separate link to use for accessing Nelnet, www.nbspayments.com.
Before authorizing someone to pay on your behalf, remember under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we cannot share account balance information with anyone other than the student, unless permission has been given.
To authorize another person to receive information on your student records-
- Log into myapps.chemeketa.edu
- Select the Grades & Transcripts link in the shortcut menu on the Home page
- Select Student Records Release
- Select Add Authorized Person
- You will be given a list of items that you can select for release (e.g. registration information, student account information, etc.)
- You will select a code word. Be sure to inform the person you are authorizing what code word you have established
If an employer or other agency is paying for your classes, have them contact Business Services directly for more information.

HOW OUR REFUNDS WORK - REFUND POLICY
If the college cancels a class or you drop a class by the refund deadline (for courses that meet for the entire term this is generally the Friday of the second week of the term.) The full cost of the class will be credited to your student account and refunded in the order listed below.
Less than full term classes have a shorter refund period. Review the specific course drop deadlines online in the searchable class schedule.
You will not receive a refund or credit toward another class for any classes dropped after the end of the refund period.
Refund credits from dropped courses will first apply to any outstanding amounts due on your student account. Refunds are processed beginning the third week of each term and are credited back to the original source of payment as follows:
- For classes paid by credit card - refunds are credited back to the credit card
- For classes paid by check or through the automated payment plan (Nelnet) - refunds are issued as a check
- For classes paid by third party or agency payments - refunds are issued to the original payer
- For classes paid by financial aid resources - credits will be reviewed by the Financial Aid department and may be applied to offset financial aid resources. Any remaining refund authorized by Financial Aid will be issued as a refund check or direct deposit.
Refunds are not issued for amounts under $5.
Changes in the number of hours for which you are registered may affect your financial aid, agency or veteran's benefits.
