Tuition and Fee Information
Tuition and fees for each term are calculated based upon a students registered number of credits. Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State system and are subject to change without notice. Some courses or academic programs have differential tuition rates due to the increased cost of offering courses or academic programs. A current and comprehensive list of tuition and fees is available on the College website.

Drop for Non-Payment
Tuition and fees are due 15 business days prior to the start of the semester. Check the college website for tuition due dates. Students who have not made arrangements by this date may have their registration cancelled and be denied entrance to class. To avoid having your registration cancelled, one of the following approved financial arrangements must be in place:
- Tuition and fees paid in full. You may pay online through your eServices account.
- Enrollment in the Nelnet Tuition Management Payment Plan before the payment due date and the required down payment submitted through the payment plan. This must be completed each semester
- Financial aid in place, meaning the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) has been received by Anoka Technical College. Note: Students must submit the FAFSA within 30 days of the beginning of the semester to qualify for a state grant.
- The Business Office has received third party or other agency support authorization greater than or equal to the minimum down payment required.
- The Business Office has received a scholarship check or scholarship notice greater than or equal to the minimum down payment required.
- Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) enrollment form has been received by the PSEO Coordinator. This must be completed each semester.
- Veterans using VA education benefits that have had their enrollment certified by the ATC School Certifying Official.
- Minimum down payment of 15% of total due or $300, whichever is smaller.
Note: Students are financially obligated for all registered classes. When students register, they will see a message about their registration cancellation status. While Anoka Technical College does participate in the registration cancellation process, several factors can prevent this from happening. Students who do not plan to attend registered classes must drop their courses online through their eServices account.
Tuition Refunds
Full refunds will be given for any course cancelled by the college. In addition, for courses that start the first week of the semester, a student may drop these courses through the first five business days of the semester to receive a tuition adjustment. For courses that do not start the first week of the semester, a student must drop the course by the end of the second business day after the course start date to receive a tuition adjustment.
For courses that start the first week of the semester, students are obligated to pay for any classes from which they withdraw after the fifth business day of the term. For courses that do not start the first week of the semester, students are obligated to pay for any classes from which they withdraw after the second business day after the course start date. For purposes of this policy, business days are defined as Monday through Friday (excluding posted holidays).
To receive a partial refund of tuition and fees, students must withdraw from all courses after the drop period but within the withdrawal period. Students should first speak with their academic advisor, an Enrollment and Success Coach, and the Financial Aid Office to learn about the academic and financial consequences before making this decision. Students withdraw from courses online through eServices. If a total withdrawal is not completed within the partial refund period, tuition and fees will be owed. See the college website for the refund schedule.
If you register for classes (even if you do not attend the classes) and you do not formally drop or withdraw from the classes, you are responsible for the full tuition and fees due on the tuition due date.
Exception to Policy
Student have until 60 days after the end of the semester to petition for a retroactive course drop or withdrawal by submitting the Exception to Policy eForm available on the college website. This form will be reviewed by the Exception to Policy Committee. Students should include a written statement describing the circumstances and reasons for their appeal and any required documentation.
All petitions must be signed by the student, legal guardian, power of attorney or executor (in case of death).
