Paying for college: The cost

M State's Business Services wants to be as transparent as possible about the tuition and fees charged for your college experience. Information on tuition rates, general and program-related fees, fee descriptions and reciprocity are displayed below. Tuition and fee information is updated once rates have been approved by the Minnesota State Board of Trustees (usually by July 1 before the start of the fall semester).

Collection of tuition and fees

All tuition and fees not covered by financial aid are due the first day of the semester or the first day of class, unless a deferment has been made through designated personnel.

Fee explanation

Various fees will be assessed to you depending upon your enrollment status, courses attempted and services offered by the campus you attend. The following is a list of the fees that may be assessed to you. Fees unique to a program or a class offering are detailed in the course requirement list. Fees are established annually by the president. A fee schedule is available upon request from the campus business office for the current academic year.

Student activity fee*

A student activity fee is charged to you based on the number of credits for which you are registered. Activity fees are passed on to the Student Senate, which determines how the funds will be used for student activities.

Late payment fee

If you have not paid outstanding tuition not covered by financial aid by the 21st day of each semester, late payment fees will be assessed. The fee is based on the number of credits for which you are registered.

Professional liability fee

Professional liability fees will be assessed to you if you enroll in courses requiring clinical/internship experience. This fee is used to purchase professional liability insurance on your behalf.

Parking fee

You will be assessed a parking fee based on the number of credits you are registered for. Proceeds from the fee fund maintenance of college parking facilities. If you are not using the college's parking facilities, you can ask to have the fee waived. College employees also pay a parking fee.

Technology fee*

Technology fees are assessed on a/credit basis as outlined in the technology fee plan. Proceeds from this fee are used to upgrade and maintain the technical infrastructure of the college.

Test out fee

If you wish to test out of a course through credit by examination, a test out fee will be assessed, based on the lab/lecture content of the course.

Transcript fee

Official transcripts can be obtain through Parchment.com at a cost of $5 per transcript.

Student association fee*

You will be assessed a fee which is passed on to the Minnesota State College Student Association for college membership dues. This fee is assessed on a/credit basis.

Uniform deposit fee

This fee will be assessed if your program requires you to rent a uniform from the college. The deposit is charged to ensure all uniforms are returned to the college in the same condition they were received (less ordinary wear). The fee is refundable at the end of the year if your uniform is returned undamaged.

Uniform rental fee

This fee will be assessed to you if your program requires you to rent a uniform from the college. The fee is used to pay for the rental of the uniform.

Printing fees

At the start of each semester you will receive a $12.50 printing credit to your network account. The printing credit provides you with a limited amount of free printing by the campus networked printers. Once you have used up your $12.50 free balance, you will need to purchase additional printing at the printing kiosk machines located on each campus. Printing costs are $0.05 for black and white and $0.25 for color. Your printing balances can be viewed at any time by logging into your SpartanNet portal.

ATI fee

To improve student success, nursing faculty at M State have selected an integrated learning product from Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI). While the product is used in every course, students purchase the product through student fees attached to particular courses within each program. For further information please see the ATI Fee Assessment document.

MDH background check fee

This fee covers the cost of the required annual background study by the Minnesota Department of Human Services if you are having direct contact with individuals in licensed health care institutions.

Clinical make-up fee

This fee is allocated to assist in covering the additional cost to the college for special clinical make-ups.

NSF check fee

All check payments returned due to insufficient funds will be assessed a $15 fee.

Payment plan fee

Should you be approved for the internal payment plan option (see "Paying for College: Billing), a $20 non-refundable processing fee must be paid each semester the payment plan is utilized.

Wellness Center fee (Moorhead campus only)*

As approved by the M State Student Government Association, the Wellness Center is available to all Moorhead campus students and funded in part by this student fee.

Reciprocity

Tuition reciprocity agreements exist between the state of Minnesota and the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri and Nebraska. If you are from one of these states or the province of Manitoba, you are permitted to pay tuition at a rate below the nonresident rate. Reciprocity application forms are available from high school counselors or from campus admissions offices.

North Dakota reciprocity information
