LINCOLN, Neb. (PRWEB) September 12, 2018
Nelnet Campus Commerce, a division of Nelnet, one of the leading education services and finance companies in the nation, announced a partnership today with the Foundation for California Community Colleges (Foundation) to become an eCommerce provider through the Foundation’s purchasing program, CollegeBuys. The five-year partnership between Nelnet and CollegeBuys provides all 115 California community colleges with access to Nelnet Campus Commerce’s payment processing solutions, providing students with a secure and convenient way to pay their fees on the go.
“This partnership offers our colleges and students a simple solution that saves them time and money,” said Jorge J.C. Sales, executive director of program development at the Foundation. “Technology solutions such as this are critical to creating efficiencies and allowing students to focus on achieving their educational goals.”
The partnership is an expansion of services provided to districts like West Valley-Mission Community College District located in the Silicon Valley. In early 2017, West Valley-Mission Community College District worked with Nelnet Campus Commerce to implement Nelnet’s payment processing solutions in under 12 weeks on their campuses. The new system’s modern interface and paperless billing was positively received by students.
“Our partnership with Nelnet Campus Commerce has brought a state-of-the-art solution to our staff and students,” said Ron Smith, director of information systems at West Valley-Mission Community College District.
Nelnet Campus Commerce specializes in providing payment processing solutions designed to meet the needs of higher education. Nelnet can simply and securely process and track every payment made across campus and lets students view and pay fees on the go, manage payment plans, receive refunds quickly, and make payments in a safe and secure system.
“Our mission is to make educational dreams possible through service and technology,” said DeeAnn Wenger, president of Nelnet Campus Commerce. “We look forward to providing the California community colleges with simple, secure commerce solutions that make paying for education more affordable for students and their families.”
