Delayed Payment Options

Students receiving Financial Aid or Scholarship
Students who have not received their financial aid (grants and student loans) or scholarships by the tuition payment date must request a deferment. The deferment form is also available at the campus Financial Aid office.

Third Party Billing
When a student’s tuition, fees and/or bookstore purchases are billed directly to an outside agency or organization, the process is termed “third party billing.” The college agrees to defer the appropriate college costs and collect payment directly from the agency or organization on behalf of the student. The college must receive authorization from the sponsoring agency or organization before third party billing can be processed. The student must also request a deferment prior to the tuition payment date.

Students are ultimately responsible for all college costs incurred. The third party billing process defers the student’s tuition and fees. The appropriate charges will be billed to the funding agency or organization after the last day to add/drop classes.

Deferments
Students may apply for a deferment based on one or more of the following:

  1. The college is in possession of an authorization from a third party payer in an amount adequate to cover charges.

  2. Financial aid adequate to cover charges has been awarded and all loan paperwork has been processed.

  3. A payment plan has been established between the student and the college.

  4. Financial aid application in incomplete, but adequate eligibility is expected.

This deferment will prevent late fees and interest. The student must request a deferment prior to the tuition payment date. The deferment form is submitted to the campus business office.

Late Fee
A $30.00 late fee will be assessed to accounts that are not paid by the 11th day of the semester. No late fees will be charged if the payment plan has been implemented by that date. The late fee will also apply to resale activity.

Non-payment
Non-payment of the account could result in an Administrative Withdrawal and submission of the outstanding balance to the State of Minnesota Collection Agency for further action. Students having outstanding accounts with the College will not be permitted to register for a subsequent term.
