Making Your Payment

This section provides information on how to pay a balance owed Minneapolis College. Additional related information about the payment policy can be found here.

Understanding College Costs

Reviewing your online invoice and fully understanding the college costs resulting from your enrollment decisions is important to your success. To increase your understanding, review the applicable financial dates, policies and procedures each term to ensure that you agree to the terms of your enrollment. This knowledge and accountability is an integral part of being a college student and accepting responsibility for these choices is part of the college experience.

Application Fee

Your application to Minneapolis College is not complete until you have paid the \$20 application fee. Pay the $20 application fee online, in person, or by mail.

Invoice for Tuition, Fees and Other Balances

Your invoice for tuition, fees and other balances owed to Minneapolis College is online in eServices.

Log in to eServices and click on the “Bills and Payments” link. It is important you review this information in eServices; a paper copy will not be mailed to you.

Pay Online

When you pay online, you can make full or partial payments using DiscoverCard, MasterCard or Visa. You may also pay by electronic debit to your checking or savings account. Reminder, tuition is due before classes start.

However, you are allowed to secure your registration with a 15% down payment and pay-as-you-attend. A $30 Payment Plan fee will be added to your balance if you choose payment option.

Additionally, a $30 Late Fee is added to unpaid balances at the mid-point of the term.

Enroll in an Automated Payment Plan

Minneapolis College contracts with a third-party tuition management company to administer automated payment plans for students. These FACTS tuition and book payment plans are offered each term through Nelnet. To set up a payment plan for tuition and fees, enroll online in eServices. Visit the College Store for information on book payment plans.

Note: Payment plans must be completed by the end of each term and are not available for past due balances.

Pay-As-You-Attend

Tuition and fees are due 15 days prior to the start of each term. However, Minneapolis College’s payment policy allows students to defer this date and secure their registrations by paying 15% of tuition and fees or $300 (whichever is less). This allows you more time to finish your payment arrangements – including the option of paying-as-you-attend.

There are additional fees to using this option. A one-time \$30 Payment Plan Fee is added to your record if you carry a balance after the Last Day to Add/Drop courses (5th day of the term). Additionally, a one-time \$30 Late Fee is added to your record if you carry a balance beyond the mid-point of the term.

If you choose this payment option, it is your responsibility to track your record online and ensure that your balance is paid in full by the end of the term. A business office hold will remain on your record until you have completed your payments.

You may not receive an official transcript or register for more courses while this hold is enforced.

Pay with Financial Aid

Your financial aid application secures your registration and meets the payment policy.

However, there are several steps to ensuring that your financial aid application is fully processed so that balances owed the college are paid in full.

Additional information is available for students at the Financial Aid Office (T.2100).

Pay with Third Party Billing or Scholarship

If your tuition, fees and other college costs are billed to an outside organization, the process is called Third Party Billing.

If you qualify for this funding, Minneapolis College agrees to defer the due date and invoice a third party for your covered college costs.

Additionally, you may use scholarships to pay the college.

Please remember that it is your responsibility to ensure Business Services is notified of your payment plans by the tuition due date each term.

Request a Deferment for Military Benefits

Eligible students may request a deferment of the tuition due date to allow time to process military benefits.

If you intend to use military benefits to pay for your education, we encourage you to confirm your arrangements with Business Services each term by the tuition due date.

Past Due Accounts and Collections

As a member of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (Minnesota State), Minneapolis College is governed by applicable State Statutes and policies.

Any unpaid balance to Minneapolis College falls under MN State Statute 16.D which states that unpaid balances shall be referred to MN Department of Revenue for collections after 120 days.

If you owe the college a past due balance after the end of a term, it is eligible for collections.

A business office hold is placed on all past due balances and is removed when the college receives payment-in-full. This hold prevents you from obtaining an official transcript or registering for more classes. Additionally, this hold can interrupt your educational goals at any Minnesota State institution.

If your balance has been placed with the MN Department of Revenue for collections, you should contact them to make payment arrangements.
