Paying for college: The cost

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.
