Payment of Tuition and Fees

Financing your education is one of the most critical components to understand as you embark on your higher education experience. There may be several options available to you to finance your education, including scholarships, grants, tuition reimbursement, federal, state, and private student loans, as well as direct payments from you. For additional information regarding funding your education options, please visit https://www.rasmussen.edu/tuition.

Once a student has had their financial aid eligibility determined, a student payment will be scheduled for any balance not covered by financial aid resources. Student payments are due in full prior to or on the first day the term begins. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a financial plan in place prior to beginning classes. This includes completing and providing all the required information to Financial Aid prior to starting classes.

If a student has not submitted all requested financial aid eligibility documentation by the beginning of the fifth week of the quarter, a student payment will be scheduled for the full balance due immediately and must be paid by visiting the Pay Online section of the Student Portal at portal.rasmussen.edu. The University does not accept cash but does accept checks mailed to the Business Office and electronic payments including credit cards, debit cards, and electronic checks. The Business Office mailing address is: Rasmussen College, LLC, PO Box 713555, Chicago, IL 60677-0077. All electronic payments must be made through the link in the Pay Online section of the Student Portal.

Failure to pay all outstanding charges (tuition, fees, and other institutional charges) by the due date(s) or in full prior to the term end date may result in collection attempts and the inability to continue courses and withdrawal from the University. As you approach graduation, please ensure your account balance is paid in full prior to graduating, or you will not receive your diploma except when required by any applicable law. To view your student account balance information, visit the Student Account Center at portal.rasmussen.edu.

For any student using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31), Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Chapter 33) or Survivors and Dependents Education Assistance (Chapter 35) benefits, Rasmussen University ensures that no penalty will be imposed, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, due to the delayed disbursement of a payment by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. To qualify, the student may be required to provide the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by the first day of class, a written request to be certified, or additional information necessary for the proper certification by the University.
