Recurring Monthly Payments
Our recurring monthly credit card/payroll deduction program is designed to be a convenience for our Campus Affiliate, Alumni, and Retiree members. Details and requirements for the program are below. If you have additional questions, please email us prior to making your purchase.
What is the recurring monthly membership and how does it work?
The recurring monthly membership is paid by credit card or payroll deduction. For auto debit using a credit card, you will be charged at the time of purchase for a prorated amount of the remaining days in the current month. For payroll deduction, you will be charged for the prorated month on your next month’s paycheck. Your credit card/paycheck will then be charged each month until you cancel.
When will I see the charge posted to my credit card statement?
You should see the monthly charge posted to your credit card statement between the first and tenth day of each month. You will see a deduction from your UNL paycheck at the end of the month.
Will I receive a receipt each month?
You can access receipts on your ActiveHusker account. If you are having issues, please email us. Our staff can provide a document showing all of your monthly recurring payments.
Is it secure?
Yes. A secure token is saved in our payment processing system so the credit card can be charged each month. We do not have access to your credit card information.
How do I enroll in the recurring monthly membership?
Campus Affiliates may enroll in person at any of our member services welcome desks. Please review the eligibility requirements on our memberships page.
How often do I have to renew?
All items purchased using the monthly recurring payment option have no end date. Items will be automatically renewed until you have submitted a cancellation form.
How do I cancel this payment option?
Monthly recurring payments are non-refundable/non-transferable. Cancellations received by the last day of the current month will not be charged for the following month. For example, if you wish to cancel your membership and not be charged for the month of January, you are required to complete the cancellation form no later than December 31. Cancellation requests submitted after the first of the month will not be cancelled until the end of that month.
All cancellations must be submitted using the Monthly Recurring Cancellation Form.
