Tuition and Fee Rates

General tuition and fee rates are set each year by the MnSCU Board of Trustees. Anoka-Ramsey Community College is able to provide an affordable education because students at public community colleges pay for approximately half of the cost of education. Go ahead, compare ARCC’s low cost to other colleges.

Payment of Tuition and Fees

Important Reminders Regarding Payment:

  • Tuition invoices are not mailed. Monitor your account online using your Student/Tech ID and PIN.
  • Students are financially responsible for any and all registration activity.
  • Payment is required by established payment deadlines.  If you are deferred or exempt from payment deadlines, your registration will not be canceled. The college reserves the right to cancel course registration of any student not deferred or otherwise exempt from payment deadlines. Do not, however, rely on the Drop for Non-Payment process as a way to cancel your course registration.

Payment Options:

  1. Pay in full online, in person or by mail. (ARCC does not accept credit card payment by phone)

    • Online: Submit your payment through your student account using Visa, MasterCard, Discover or E-Check.
    • In-person: The Business Office accepts cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard or Discover.
    • By mail: Print your billing statement from your student account, clearly print your Customer ID on your check and mail both to the Business Office at least five business days before the payment deadline.

  2. Apply for a FACTS payment plan online.
    Simple steps to enroll in a new payment plan:

Drop for Non-Payment/Deferment

Students who have not paid tuition by the tuition payment deadline may be dropped from all course registration unless one or more of the following is true:

  • You have applied for financial aid, and ARCC has received your FAFSA results from the Dept of Education, or
  • You are enrolled in the Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, or
  • You are a veteran who has been certified to receive education benefits, or
  • You have submitted approved third party billing authorization or an official tuition waiver to the ARCC Business Office, or
  • You have been awarded a scholarship from ARCC Institutional Advancement, or
  • You have been approved for a payment plan and have submitted the required down payment of tuition.

Students should monitor their registration/student account/financial aid online. Students are responsible for dropping courses if they register and later change their plans for attendance. The college reserves the right to drop for non-payment, however students should not rely on the drop for non-payment process as a way to cancel course registration.

Aid Disbursement

Disbursement of aid begins the 10th day of the semester and continues on a weekly basis after that. Keep your address current at all times through the Records and Registration Office. You may wish to consider using direct deposit. Financial aid checks may not be picked up in person and are not forwardable by the U.S. Postal Service.

To have your financial aid deposited into your checking or savings account, submit a Direct Deposit Authorization Form to the Business Office.

Withholding Diplomas and Transcripts

Anoka-Ramsey Community College will withhold the issuance of diplomas and transcripts to students until all money due the college has been paid.
