Pay Your Tuition

You can make a tuition payment by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Please note that tuition is due in full by the first day of class each semester.

Accessing Your Bill

The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey uses Nelnet Campus Commerce to provide electronic billing and payment services. Students access their bill and account information online; no paper billing statements are mailed. You can make an online payment by electronic check or credit card. Please note that a 2.75 percent service fee will be applied if paying by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.

What to Expect

Students will receive an email notification to their Middlebury email from the Student Financial Services office when their electronic bill is ready to view at Nelnet. Use the ‘make a payment’ link in the email notification to access your account and log in with your Middlebury credentials. Fall bills are first sent to students by email in late-August and Spring bills are first sent to students by email in late-January.

New students will not receive an electronic bill or see tuition charges on their Nelnet account until they have registered for classes.

Helpful tip: Set up your parents, guardians, or a third party as an authorized party (if needed) during initial login, so they can create their own account and have access to view the bill and make payments on your behalf.
