CCE scholarships and grants provide funding for more than 200 students a year. Awards average $500 to $2,200 and don't need to be repaid. The straight-forward application can be the first step to pursuing your goals. We encourage you to apply!

3. COSTS
You will be charged tuition, which is based on a per-credit amount. You will also be charged fees. These include a per-credit University fee, fees for materials used in a course, a collegiate fee, and student-related services fees. Links to all the tuition and fees is available on the One Stop.

4. BILLING INFORMATION
N on-degree students must pay tuition and fee charges in full by the billing due date. Payment must be received--not postmarked--by the due date, or your courses will be canceled. Students canceled due to non-payment must contact One Stop Student Services to re-register for courses.

NOTE: Depending on when non-degree students register for Independent and Distance Learning (IDL) courses, they will be billed and payment is due in full by the next scheduled due date. See "Billing and Due Dates" for specific billing and payment due dates by semester.

You will not receive a paper bill, but you may make electronic payments from your checking or savings accounts. To determine your amount due, use the self-service Quick Link, "Student Account" on the One Stop home page. To make an electronic payment, select "UM Pay" under Quick Links. Sign in using your University Internet ID and password. (If you are a first time user, go to http://www.umn.edu/initiate to activate your access.) Tuition and fee charges will appear in your student account two days after your registration.

You may also make payments by U.S. Postal Service, in a campus drop box, or in person at a Bursar Office campus location. Guidelines on those payment methods are available at "Where, When, and How to Pay" .

If you have questions about paying your tuition and fees, One Stop counselors are available by e-mail, phone, or in person. For more information, go to One Stop Services.
