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 Anoka-Ramsey's low cost to other colleges.

Registration Cancellation/Drop for Non-Payment

Don't lose your classes for Non-payment! Your Registration may be canceled if payment requirements have not been met by the published due date.

Students are responsible for paying their full tuition/fees by the established payment deadlines unless one or more of the following is true:

• You have applied for financial aid and ARCC has received your FAFSA results from the Department 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 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.
