• My Dashboard: A review of the student’s account information for all Minnesota State colleges and universities you have interacted with. • Account Management: Allows students to update your mailing address and personal email if needed, opt-in to text messages, and allow students to assign someone, such as a parent or guardian, to view and pay your tuition bill.

FINANCIAL AID

Financial aid is money available for your educational expenses. It is designed to supplement the amount you and your family contribute toward your education. The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide assistance to students who otherwise would be unable to pursue their education. RCTC understands every student has a different financial situation, and we take steps to help you understand the financial aid you may be qualified for. A financial aid award consists of funding from one, or a combination of, financial aid programs and is designed to help meet your financial needs. To be considered for financial aid at RCTC, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form must be submitted via the government website at www.fafsa.gov. Please include RCTC’s federal school code of 002373 when you complete your FAFSA to ensure RCTC receives your application information.

FINANCIAL AID CONT.

After RCTC receives your application, you will receive a letter and an email with a request for more information, or informing you that your award letter is ready to view in eServices. Award letters show your eligibility for grants and loans at different enrollment levels for the term. Please note all students are able to get an update on their financial aid status by logging into their eServices.

Information on special fees will be included in the course descriptions on the semester course schedules. Tuition/fee costs are also posted in eServices. RCTC establishes due dates for final payment of tuition and fees prior to the start of each semester. RCTC will drop courses for students who do not have a financial aid application on file, have not paid in full, or have not established a payment plan.

Payments can also be made in person during business hours at the RCTC Cashier’s Office, located on the first floor of the Student Services Building.

PAYMENT PLANS

RCTC provides payment plans for students, permitting them to pay tuition and fees after the due date.

You can enroll in a payment plan by logging into eServices, then click on “Tuition and Payments.”

FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENT/ BANK MOBILE

All financial aid disbursements and student payroll checks at RCTC are disbursed using a system called Bank Mobile. Students will receive a green envelope in their mailbox after registering for courses at RCTC. This envelope contains your personal code and link to a website where you can designate how you want your disbursement/payment sent to you. Disbursement choices include direct deposit to a bank account, deposit to a Bank Mobile account as a debit card, or a paper check via mail. When your payment is ready to be issued, the funds will be sent to Bank Mobile.
