Ways to Pay Tuition
View Your Account/Statement
At the time of registration, plan to either pay a minimum of $300 or 15% of your tuition balance (whichever is less) or set up a payment plan. Accounts not paid by the fifth day of the term may be dropped from classes. If you have a FAFSA on file or an approved third‑party authorization, you do not need to make a down payment or set up a payment plan. (Anoka-Ramsey does not send tuition invoices through the mail.)

IMPORTANT: If you make a payment in person, drop classes or receive financial aid after you enrolled in the payment plan, it is your responsibility to notify the business Office of these changes in person or by email at businessoffice@anokaramsey.edu at least five (5) business days BEFORE your next payment is due. Your Nelnet payment plan will automatically increase for any added courses.
Financial Aid is available for those who qualify. Apply for Financial Aid
The college must receive your Financial Aid application prior to the tuition deadline to hold your courses. Tuition would need to be paid in full or arrange a payment plan if the Financial Aid application is not complete by the payment deadline.
If your 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 bill the agency or organization directly on behalf of the student. The college must receive an authorization – prior to the tuition deadline – from the sponsoring agency or organization before the third-party billing can be processed.
