Other Fees
- Personal Property And Service Charges: Some courses have special fees that are indicated in the current class schedule.
- NSF Fee: When a check is returned to the college by the bank for nonsufficient funds, account closed or stop payment, an NSF fee will be assessed for each check. This applies to all checks written to the college.
- Late Fee: A late fee is assessed if students pay tuition after the specified payment deadlines. See the Registration Guide for current deadlines and information.
Drop For Non-Payment Policy
Students must pay or make payment arrangements for their tuition and fees by the due dates published on the college website and in the semester Registration Guide. Failure to pay or make arrangements to pay tuition and fees may result in courses being dropped for non-payment. Please note that course registrations will not be dropped for students who have applied for financial aid. Course registrations will not be dropped even if a student is not approved for financial aid. Students who do not intend to take courses during a given semester must officially drop their courses on their own before the start of the term.
Tuition Refund Policy
Students who drop or withdraw from their courses within the defined drop/ withdraw periods may be eligible for a refund of tuition. The tuition refund policy can be found online at inverhills.edu/Registration/Refunds.aspx. Refunds for tuition paid online by credit card will be refunded according to the student’s BankMobile refund preference. Processing of course drops and withdraws may take up to three weeks to process.
The effective date of a drop or withdrawal is the date the course is dropped or withdrawn online or the date the request is received by the Enrollment Center. Refund requests must be made within one year of the date the course(s) is dropped or withdrawn. The refund schedule is based on the policy adopted by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees. This policy can be found online at minnstate.edu/board/policy/512.html.
Tuition Waiver Policy
Students with extraordinary circumstances may appeal for a waiver of tuition. The student must complete the Student Appeal form as well as provide documentation of their circumstance. The president or designee may waive amounts due to the college for the following reasons:
- Employee benefit provided by a bargaining agreement
- Death of a student
- Medical reasons
- College error
- Employment-related condition
- Significant personal circumstances
- Military enlistment or deployment
Appeals received without proper documentation will be returned to the student or denied. Students seeking a tuition waiver are advised to meet with an academic advisor or counselor for assistance with the Student Appeal form and documentation. Waiver requests must be made within one year of the date the course(s) is dropped or withdrawn.
State Residency Requirements
The director of enrollment services/registrar will determine residency based on the residency policy in effect at the time the student applies to the college. See Minnesota State board policy 2.2 on State Residency at minnstate.edu/board/policy/202.html for resident classification.
