What You'll Learn
Logging into MyRED
To pay your UNL student bill, you will need to log in to MyRED. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
- Go to the MyRED login page.
- Enter your login credentials. If you are a student, use your student ID and password. If you are an authorized payer, use the login information provided to you when you received your invitation.
- Once you are logged in, select the Student Accounts tab.
- From here, select Pay Bill.
- A new window will open for the UNL E-Payment system (also known as the CASHNet ePayment portal).
Making a Payment
- On the UNL E-Payment system page, select Make a Payment. This button should be at the bottom of the screen.
- On the next page, enter the amount you would like to pay. This amount should be in US dollars and cannot exceed the current student account balance.
- Choose your preferred payment method. You can use a routing and account number from a valid US checking or savings account, or a credit or debit card.
- If you are paying in a foreign currency, you will need to enter the details on the Convera website. The payer will need to provide their information and review the instructions on how to complete the payment.
- Verify the payment information and ensure that the account has sufficient funds before finalizing the payment.
Please note that credit and debit card payments incur a 2.75% convenience fee. The university recommends using a routing and account number to avoid this fee. Also, do not input a debit card number when paying by online check, as this will result in a $30 return payment fee.

After entering foreign currency details on the Convera website, the payer will receive a copy of the receipt with payment instructions. These instructions must be delivered to the payer's bank within 72 hours, as the quoted exchange rate is only valid for this period.

Payment processing times
Payments made by check, cashier's check, or money order can be dropped off at the payment drop box outside the Bursar's Office entrance for contactless payment. However, these payments can take up to 10 business days or more to process and be delivered to the University.
For online payments, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln recommends using MyRED and paying through online check by using the routing and account number of a valid U.S. checking or savings account. This is because there is no additional convenience fee for this payment method. It is important to confirm the account routing and account numbers before submitting an online check payment.
Credit and debit card payments can also be made online, but they require a 2.75% convenience fee. Additionally, do not input a debit card number when paying by online check, as this will result in a $30 return payment fee.
Foreign currency payments can be initiated through MyRED or CASHNet. UNL is partnered with Western Union to ensure the secure transfer of foreign bank funds. As this is a wire transaction, this payment method could potentially delay the posting of payment to the student's account. Therefore, it is suggested that all instructions are followed closely and preferably at least 2-3 weeks in advance of any semester's payment due date.

Convera facilitates UNL's foreign currency student payments and ensures the secure transfer of funds to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
