Payment options:

Goshen College now accepts credit card payments for tuition directly at the college! All major cards are accepted. A 3% convenience fee will be added per card transaction.
- New! Pay online through MyGC. Log in for instructions.
- Pay by phone by calling 574-535-7514 during cashier hours, Monday through Friday, 9-12:30.
- Bring cash, check, or card to the Accounting Office, Administration Building Suite 10.
Payment plans or single payments must be set up using Nelnet from Nelnet Campus Commerce. Nelnet is not connected to our on-campus system, and does not know what you owe. Please retrieve your balance due via MyGC, then click here for more information on Nelnet, to make a single payment, or set up a payment plan for future semesters. Plan ahead when making online payments, because Nelnet payments take 5 days to process, transfer to the college, and get applied to student accounts.
Nelnet fees: Nelnet adds a $30 fee for each semester plan. There is no plan fee for single payments through Nelnet. Avoid the 2.85% convenience fee by setting up payments to be drawn directly from a US bank account using the routing and account number. Using a card, even a debit card going to the same account, will trigger a 2.85% convenience fee.
International payment plans. Nelnet now offers payment plans for students paying from outside the US. Set up the plan, and select the invoice option under international payment plans. Nelnet, partnering with Convera, will send reminders and invoices with instructions, which students then pay by the due date. See here for a sample of setting up the payment plan.
International payments. Goshen College has partnered with Flywire to make your international payments safe and easy. Flywire allows you to pay from almost any country and any bank. They also offer excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases) and save money, compared to traditional banks. You will be able to track the progress of your payment throughout the transfer process with a student dashboard and you will also be notified by email when your payment is received by Goshen College. Click or go to: goshen.flywire.com to make your payment.

Student accounts:

The current student account balance is available through your MyGC portal. Navigate to https://my.goshen.edu and log in with your Goshen College username and password (near the top right corner).
- In the “Quick Links” section, scroll down to the “Financial Aid & Accounting” section.
- Click on “My Current Account Balances/Bill” to see current posted balances or generate a detailed statement of your account (everything posted so far). Click on “Generate current bill (PDF)” to generate a bill for the upcoming term (when available). In general, statements look to the past, and bills look ahead.
Refunds: student account credit balances. If you have a posted credit balance once all charges and aid have posted to your account for the semester, please log in to MyGC to request a refund. A refund is authorized only if there are no additional charges or aid pending on your account, and your payment plan is paid in full. Once authorized, Goshen College issues refunds through ACH direct deposits or eChecks. The college recommends using the ACH direct deposit method. If you are unsure if there is extra money posted on your student account, please check your account online at MyGC.
- Want to leave the credit balance on your account? Please complete the FSA Hold Authorization Form on MyGC to avoid any automatic refunds. Login to MyGC, then click here to open the form.
Student account balance notices are emailed approximately the 11th of each month, unless the student has a $0 posted balance. All current students can view their full statements electronically. A sample e-statement, with explanatory notes, is available here.
Bookstore Credits. Students with an anticipated credit balance on their account after all charges and financial aid is applied may receive bookstore credits to purchase books and supplies from the GC – Akademos Online Bookstore only once they accept their financial aid. This is not free money! Vouchers are an advance on your financial aid-based credit balance. Credit balances will be sent to Akademos at the beginning of each semester, and credit purchases are available until the end of drop/add.
