PAYING YOUR TUITION AND FEES  

At RRCC we make it easy to pay your tuition and fees by offering you six options:

  • Pay online
    When you pay online, you can make full or partial payments using Visa/MasterCard or e-Check. * Go to e-Services and login. Enter your student I.D. and registration PIN numbers. * At the next screen, choose "Bills and Payments" from the menu on the left side of the screen. To pay, chose "Make a Payment."
  • Pay by mail
    To pay by mail, print a fee statement via the Internet and mail a copy of it with your check or money order to: Rainy River Community College Business Office 1501 Highway 71 International Falls, MN 56649
    * Note your student I.D. number on the check or money order. Don't send cash.
    * If you want to receive a receipt, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
    * Note: Depending on your registration date, a fee statement may not be mailed until after your tuition and fees are due. To avoid being dropped for non-payment, please pay online or visit the Business Office after you register.
  • Pay by phone (credit card only)
    You can pay via phone using a Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card by calling the Business Office at 218-285-2262 during business hours. Call early -- don't wait until the last day to pay!
  • Pay in person
    You can also pay in person during business hours at the Business Office. Hours of operation * Monday – Friday : 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
  • FACTS tuition payment plan
    You have the option of setting up a payment plan using FACTS, a third party tuition management company.
    • For a fee and a 15 percent or $300 down payment, FACTS will setup a payment schedule for you.
    • They will forward payments from your checking, savings, MasterCard or Discover Card account to the College.
    • Please read the agreement carefully.

Note: Unpaid balances will be subject to collection fees. You will not be allowed to register for any additional terms and your transcript will not be released until the balance is paid in full.

  • Third party billing
    If your tuition, fees and/or bookstore purchases are billed to an outside agency or organization, the process is considered "third party billing". RRCC agrees to defer the due date for the appropriate college costs and invoice charges directly to the agency/organization on your behalf.
    • Before this process can begin, the College must receive authorization from the agency/organization.
    • It is your responsibility to ensure the Business Office receives the third party before the last day to add/drop classes.

REGISTRATION CANCELATION FOR NON-PAYMENT

It is important to pay your tuition on time otherwise your registration will be cancelled for non-payment. The tuition payment deadline for Spring Term 2008 is January 14, 2008, 4:30 p.m. If you register after the payment deadline, you must pay by 4:30 p.m. the next business day.

You are exempt from this policy if you have:

    • Applied for financial aid and the College has received your FAFSA record from the Department of Education.
    • Submitted a Third Party Billing Authorization to the Business Office.
    • Enrolled in the Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program.
