Paying Balance

  • Set up a monthly payment plan, a payment plan must be set and the first payment on or before arrival on campus.

Setting Payment Plan

Monthly payment plans are available as five-month plans. The first payment must be paid directly to Tabor College on or before you arrive on campus.  The balance after the first payment is what you will finance on Nelnet. To create a payment plan, you must set up an account with Nelnet.

Making Payments

  • On your My Tabor “Make a Payment” page via credit/debit card, or eCheck by following previous instructions for seeing your balance.
  • Over the phone at 620-947-3121 (ext. 1050) by credit/debit card or eCheck.

The  2024-25 Financial Information Booklet can also provide detailed financial information. The 2025-26 Financial Information Booklet is coming soon.

DISCLAIMER: The following situations may cause your bill to increase from what is shown on Campus Cafe.

  • Enrollment: If you are not enrolled full time or have not yet enrolled this will affect your billing for the fall semester.
  • Health Insurance: All students require qualifying health insurance and provide proof of insurance to Student Life before arrival on campus.  If you do not have qualifying coverage or fail to provide evidence of insurance by August 17, you will be enrolled in Tabor’s Student Health Plan at an approximate cost of $1,855.  This amount is non-refundable once the student is enrolled in the plan.  To avoid this charge, it is critical to provide proof of insurance.  Contact Student Life at studentlife@tabor.edu with any questions.
  • FAFSA: If you have not yet completed a FAFSA or are selected for FAFSA verification and your expected family contribution (EFC) changes, your eligibility for federal and state grants may increase or decrease accordingly.  We recommend completing the FAFSA as soon as possible if you have not already done so.  Contact financial aid at finaid@tabor.edu if you have any questions or need assistance.

If you have further questions, contact Accounts Receivable at 620-947-3121 (ext. 1050) or tcbusoff@tabor.edu.
