We are excited to announce our partnership with Nelnet to process secure student online payments. With Nelnet, payment options have been expanded. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, or a bank account (ACH payment) for student transactions.
As part of this transition, there are a few important steps students need to take:
- First-Time Login: When students log in to the payment site for the first time, they will be prompted
to fill in their name, address, email, and phone number.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Setup: Students will need to set up a new authentication method, a crucial step to safeguard credit card data and ensure transactions are secure. Please note that this authentication method is different from the one students may have already set up for Canvas.
Students can choose to use an authenticator app or to receive secure codes via email when logging into the secure payment site.
For questions regarding multi-factor authentication (MFA) or student email please call 619-388-1140 or email support@student.sdccd.edu
