Federal loan resources:
Inver Hills participates in a payment plan that allows students to make monthly payments for tuition, fees and books. Through an agreement with FACTS Tuition Management Company, these payments will be automatically processed each month (either on the 5th or 20th) through the responsible party's bank account.
This is not a loan and there is no interest or finance fee. The only fee to budget payments through FACTS is a non-refundable enrollment fee of $30 per semester. Students who have any scheduling changes and are enrolled in this program will see their payments automatically corrected. An email from FACTS will be sent.
The application process is quick and easy; students can sign up for FACTS through e-Services.
For any questions, email the Enrollment Center or call 651-450-3503.
