Payment Plan (Nelnet) – Undergraduate
Undergraduate students can view their estimated full year balance through the Tuition Worksheet on their MyCHC portal. Please use that document to estimate your payment plan cost. We recommend that all students contact Student Accounts at 215-248-7116 or Accounts@chc.edu to confirm your estimate and verify that you have signed up for the correct plan.
Chestnut Hill College offers an interest-free payment plan through a 3rd party servicer called Nelnet. For the 2024-2025 school year, students can enroll in an annual, fall, or spring plan. Additionally, students taking summer classes in 2024 can create a 2 or 3 month payment plan to cover those costs. The enrollment deadlines for Nelnet are as follows:

Calculating your Monthly Payments
Once you have accepted your financial aid for the year, you will be able to view your estimated annual tuition cost on MyCHC via the Tuition Worksheet under the “Finance” tab. This is the amount to be entered into Nelnet when signing up for an Annual plan. Please be aware that the balance provided on the Tuition Worksheet is an estimate based on current billing and aid and is subject to change. We recommend that students contact Student Accounts with any questions about the estimated cost.
If you have any difficulty calculating your payments contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 215-248-7116 or email one of our representatives at accounts@chc.edu.
