After paying your deposit and upon enrollment, students can access financial account and payment information online through Self Service. They can view real-time account balances, charges, payments and statements and make payments online via credit card or e-check. The payment terms and options simplify the payment process, ensuring students can focus on classes instead of financial concerns.

To make a tuition payment, click the Make a Payment button at the top of this page, which will connect to Bill+Payment with our secure payment partner, TouchNet (for security, verify the site address begins with secure.touchnet.net).

For international students, we have partnered with TransferMate to streamline payments in your local currency from nearly any country. International payments are integrated into our TouchNet checkout process.

After you make enrollment deposit, you’ll receive a six-digit student ID number.  This and a PIN number, which is your birthday in the format MMDDYY (i.e. May 16, 2005 would be 051605) lets you access your account on Bill+Payment under the Student and Staff login button.

1. Sign up for interest-free monthly payments through our payment plan provider, Nelnet.
2. Nelnet charges a single plan fee of $55 per semester, and students can apply online.
3. The Business Office reserves the right to discontinue or refuse the Nelnet payment plan option to students who have demonstrated poor credit history with the College.
4. Obtain additional loan funds through a Parent Plus Loan or a private student loan. Contact the Financial Aid department at finaid@collegeofidaho.edu with any questions.

NOTE: The College reserves the right to charge interest on all unpaid balances at a rate of 1.5% per month. Interest is not charged to accounts enrolled in Nelnet.
