How to Create an Account
To access your student loan information at Nelnet.com, you’ll first need to create your online account.
We’ll guide you through a brief process of providing important information (so we can make sure you’re you!). Then you’ll select a username and password (following these rules), and set up security questions and a security image in case you ever forget your password. Once you’ve registered, we’ll ask you a few questions to customize your account so it works best for you. So, let’s get started.
