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.

*The above per credit total does not include one-time fee charges or special course charges. One-time fees or special charges may include, but are not limited to:

In addition, special course fees may be assessed for art, music, physical education or seminars.

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, as this requires your signature or online verification.)
   • Online: Submit your payment through your student account at www.AnokaRamsey.edu using Visa, materCard 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 Student/Check ID on your check and mail both to the Business Office at least five business days before the payment deadline.
     
     
2. Initiate a Payment Plan, stop by the Business Office at either campus.

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 completed your FAFSA (financial aid) at ARCC and have been awarded either a Pell Grant and/or a MNSG grant, or
• You have completed your FAFSA and have completed all required steps for a Federal Stafford Loan , Federal Perkins Loan, SELF Loan or Alternative Loan.

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.
