On-Line Fee Payment Instructions

Southeastern works diligently to maintain standards that are a requirement of accepting card payment transactions.  In order to maintain the highest level of security for our students while providing outstanding student service, we have partnered with Nelnet Campus Commerce as our payment processor.  This partnership with Nelnet will allow Southeastern to provide a state of the art payment system as well as offer additional services to enhance the student experience.

Some additional services that student can take advantage of through the new Nelnet portal are the following:

  • User can allow an authorized party (such as a parent) to access their account and make payments without sharing your LeoNet username and password. Access to the information seen by the authorized party can also be limited if desired.
  • In addition to paying with VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, the addition of eCheck/Bank Account payment is now available. Many times a debit card has a daily limit imposed by the bank that can be exceeded when paying tuition.  An eCheck payment can be paid directly from your bank account in a safe, secure manner.
  • 24/7 customer service provided by Nelnet for questions about making payments. (Nelnet cannot answer questions regarding charges and account balances.)
  • Ability to add an additional email recipient for the receipt on the fly.
  • Ability to safely and securely save multiple payment profiles to your account for ease of processing future payments.

To prevent multiple or unintentional authorizations on your credit card or debit card please review the following steps.

Helpful Hints:

  • The payment process works best in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
  • If you receive an error please write it down or take a screen shot and report the issue to studentaccounts@southeastern.edu along with your W# and a phone number and we will call you back. Please do NOT include the credit card or debit card number
  • Please temporarily disable antivirus programs as these may cause the transaction to fail. 
  • Please contact the Student Technology Help desk for assistance.  985-549-2700

 

 

Step 1: Log into LEONET (https://www.southeastern.edu/student)

Step 2: Determine the amount to be paid.  If Pending Financial Aid is on the account, the payment amount should be Outstanding Charges less Pending Financial Aid.  This should be reflected in the Total Due column for each term.

Select the Account Inquiry Link from the left-hand menu (Self Service -> Campus Finances -> Account Inquiry)

Step 2 Image 1

OR

If there is no need to calculate the balance after Pending Aid, select ‘make a payment with nelnet’ from the Student Center Finances section:

Step 2 Image 2

Step 3: Click the ‘Make a Payment’ button on the Account Inquiry page

Step 3 Image

Note:   If the Make a Payment link is not visible, either the web pay system is down for maintenance or there is a service indicator on the student account that is preventing a web payment.  Navigate to Self Service -> Campus Finances -> Make a Payment via Nelnet to determine the reason that a web payment cannot be made.

 

Step 4: Once ‘Make a Payment’ is selected, the user will be directed to Nelnet to complete the transaction.  It is normal for this redirect to take a few seconds to load.

Note:   The first time a user makes a payment through Nelnet, it is required to create an account.  This will only need to be done the first time you are directed towards Nelnet.  The fields with a * are required fields.  Most of the fields are pre-populated, but please check the information for accuracy.

In addition, when creating an account it is also required to set up your security questions for Nelnet.  If you call into Nelnet’s Customer Service with payment issues, they will ask you these questions for verification.
