Where is Red Lake Nation College located?

Red Lake Nation College is located in Red Lake, MN, in the United States.

What type of institution is Red Lake Nation College?

Red Lake Nation College is a public community college based in MN. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.

Is Red Lake Nation College open admission?

Yes. Red Lake Nation College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.

What is the tuition at Red Lake Nation College?

Red Lake Nation College's published in-state tuition is approximately $6,640 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.

How many students attend Red Lake Nation College?

Red Lake Nation College reports total enrollment of approximately 338 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.

How much does Red Lake Nation College actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Red Lake Nation College is approximately $5,672 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $8,444 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $8,975. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Red Lake Nation College?

Red Lake Nation College reports a graduation rate of approximately 46% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How should I verify final details about Red Lake Nation College?

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Red Lake Nation College.

Does Red Lake Nation College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

No. The Department of Education has no graduate earnings figure for Red Lake Nation College in its March 2026 data, so the FAFSA shows no lower-earnings notice for it. That is an absence of data, not a finding either way. It was flagged in the December 2025 release; the March 2026 release has no earnings figure for it, so no notice is shown now.

FAFSA earnings check

No notice: no earnings figure

The Department of Education lists Red Lake Nation College but has no graduate earnings figure for it, so the FAFSA shows no "lower earnings" notice for this college. That is an absence of data, not a finding either way.

It was flagged in the December 2025 release; the March 2026 release has no earnings figure for it, so no notice is shown now.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: no students were enrolled entirely at a distance

In Fall 2023, none of Red Lake Nation College's 256 students were enrolled entirely at a distance, though 256 (100%) took at least one distance course. That is a count of how students enrolled, not a list of what is offered online.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.
