COPPER allows students, who are employed by The Nebraska Medical Center and who qualify for tuition reimbursement, to defer payment of tuition for up to two weeks after grades are issued. Deferment is for tuition only. Requests to participate must be submitted prior to the tuition payment due date of each semester and the Student Accounts Manager must grant approval. Payment of fees and other charges is due by the end of the third week of classes. A COPPER Agreement Form must be signed each semester and submitted to the Student Accounts Manager before the first payment due date. A payment plan service fee will be assessed to the Student's account for participation in this program.
