Frequently Asked Questions

Are paper statements mailed out each month?

No, paper statements are only sent to the student's permanent address in mid-July and mid-December. All other monthly statements (including summer session statements) are only available online via TouchNet on C-Port and are due the 15th of the following month. Between billing cycles, updated balances or current activity can be viewed by logging into the "eBill" site and selecting the "recent account activity" link (Current Account Status tab).

How will I know when a new statement is available?

E-mails will be sent to students at their Concordia email address indicating that a new billing statement has been prepared and is ready for viewing. The email sent to students provides a link to the C-port "log-in". Once logged in to C-port, students can access the "eBill" page by selecting the TouchNet icon. Monthly statements will be ready approximately the 17th of each month.

Why do I have to pay a convenience fee to make a credit card payment?

Concordia College contracts with a third party service provider (TouchNet/Pay Path) to ensure compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) card association rules. The 2.75% rate charged by the service provider is collected and retained by the service provider and is non-refundable.

Why is VISA not an option for credit card payments on student accounts?

Until recently, VISA did not allow the convenience fee charged by our service provider; so we were not able to offer this option. However, we are hoping to add VISA soon. Please watch for future announcements.

When are payments due?

Payments for Fall Semester are due by August 15.
Payments for Spring Semester are due by January 15.
Payments for First Time Enrollees for Summer Semester are due by July 15.
Payments for Continuing Enrollees for Summer Semester are due by June 15.

Who do I contact if I have questions regarding the financial aid listed on my billing statement or I need more financial aid?

Any questions regarding financial aid (scholarships, loans, etc.) should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid at 218-299-3010 or e-mail finaid@cord.edu.

Can international students pay on-line if they do not bank at a U.S. Financial Institution?

Sorry, electronic check payments are only accepted from U.S. Financial Institutions. Please contact the Business Office for international wiring instructions.

Can my employer pay my tuition?

Yes, your employer will need to notify the Business Office in writing that they wish to pay for your tuition. They will need to include the following in their letter:

The name of the student
The name of the employer
The address where the billing statement should be sent

Employers can send the letter to:

What is the Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement?

The Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement is an agreement between the student and the College that outlines how the student will pay their obligation to the school. It also outlines finance charges, use of Financial Aid and your billing rights. You must have a Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement on file with the College before beginning courses.
