Paying Tuition

Add an Authorized Payer to Your Nelnet Account

If you would like to have another person, such as a parent or guardian, make tuition payments on your behalf, please complete the steps below.

1. Visit sunysuffolk.edu/bill. You may be prompted to log in with your student credentials.
2. Select Visit Nelnet to View/Pay My Bill. (First time visitors must complete their Nelnet account setup.)
3. From your Nelnet dashboard, select My Profile.
4. In the Manage Payers section, select Add or Edit.
5. Complete the requested information for the individual you wish to add as an authorized payer.
6. Select Save.
7. Once submitted, the authorized payer will receive an email invitation to create their own Nelnet account. For security purposes, the authorized payer will need to know the correct answer to the security question you created—be sure to share it with them.

The link in the authorized party invitation does not expire, but if the user does not have the invite, it can be resent.
