Pay Tuition & Fees

Your tuition statement reflects all activity on your student account. This includes charges, payments and financial aid posted to your account.

Financial Aid which has been awarded and disbursed is listed in the payment section of your statement.

Tuition statements are not mailed out

Please view your account online. You are responsible for paying your tuition and fees in full by the tuition due date.

Payments are applied to your account within 24 hours of receipt at the Business Office. Tentative distribution date of financial aid funds is usually about the third week of the semester.

When you register for classes, you are responsible and must pay tuition or make arrangements to do so by the tuition due dates posted on the Academic Calendar. Late fees will be added to your account if tuition is not paid in full by the applicable late-fee deadline posted on the Academic Calendar.

Invoices are not mailed. You must check your account balance online in e-Services.

Failing to pay will cause you to be dropped from your classes, which is called "drop for non-payment."

You will not be dropped from classes if any of these apply to you:

• The Business Office has received authorization for payment by an outside agency. This can include private scholarships and third party payment.
  • Third party billing print & fax form
• You have applied for financial aid
• You have entered into a payment plan by the tuition due date

• You have paid your tuition and fees in full
• You have applied for financial aid
• You have entered into a payment plan by the tuition due date
  • Learn about the FACTS Payment Plan on Paying for College
• The Business Office has received authorization for payment by an outside agency. This can include private scholarships and third party payment.
  • Third party billing print & fax form

• Call the Business Office at 651-450-3513 or

See Refunds for more information. You must withdraw from classes within the specified no-obligation withdrawal period to receive a full refund. If you do not withdraw during the no-obligation period, you will face refund penalties.

You are responsible for officially withdrawing from classes you do not plan to attend. Not attending class does not constitute a drop or withdrawal; you will still be registered for the class and may receive an "F" grade. You are still responsible for any tuition, late fees or collection fees associated with that class. Refer to Add, Drop and Withdraw for more information.

If your account has an outstanding balance, you will be assessed a $50 late fee starting on the applicable late-fee deadline posted on the Academic Calendar. An invoice that includes this late fee will be sent to you at that time. Payment is due within two weeks. If payment is not received, your account will be sent to the Minnesota Department of Revenue (MnDOR) for collection. MnDOR can be reached at 651-556-3000.

If you have an outstanding tuition balance, you will not be permitted to register in subsequent terms until you make full payment. Your transcript(s) and/or diploma(s) will also not be released.

Non-sufficient funds (NSF fee)

When a check is returned to the college by the bank for non-sufficient funds, account closed or stop payment, a $20 NSF fee will be assessed for each check. This fee applies to checks for college tuition and bookstore charges. The fee may also be charged to NSF payments to your FACTS Payment Plan.

Personal property fees

Some courses have special fees; check the course’s description for details.

Seniors registration fee

If you are a Minnesota resident aged 62 and older, you may register for courses for a $20 fee per credit hour plus fees on a space-available basis. Registration at this reduced rate begins the second day of classes each semester. Learn more about senior citizens.

Please note: Amounts subject to change at any time.
