OVERVIEW
The Controller’s Office is the business and accounting
Office for LCSC and is responsible for receiving and
expending funds for the College. Our goal is to provide
information and services needed to facilitate the financial
process for our students, faculty and staff.
FEES, TUITION AND OTHER CHARGES
Any person attending a class must be a registered student.
By registering for classes, a student incurs a legal
obligation to pay tuition and fees. Regardless of whether a
student pays tuition and fees with cash, personal check,
credit card, financial aid or by some other means, it is the
student’s responsibility to satisfy this financial
obligation by the payment due date established by the
Institution. This debt may be canceled only if the student
officially withdraws from the college on or before the fifth
official day of the semester. If a student terminates on or
after the first official day of the semester, the
Institution’s refund policy applies. (See Refund of Tuition
and Fees.)
Fees listed below are for the 2006-2007
academic year only and are subject to change thereafter as
directed by the Idaho State Board of Education. For
fee-paying purposes, full-time status is defined as 8 or
more credit hours per semester. Please contact the
Controller’s Office for the most current information. For
residence hall/campus housing costs, see the Residence Life
section.
TUITION AND FEE SCHEDULE2007-2008
Tuition and Fees Schedule COURSE FEES
Many classes have additional course fees such as lab fees,
program fees, internet fees, and other course fees. Course
fees are subject to change without prior notification.
Students enrolling in classes with course fees must pay
these fees. Course fees are subject to the same payment due
dates established by the Institution for tuition and fees.
If course fees are incurred as a result of adding class(es),
the additional course fees are due and payable at the same
time the classes are added. Course fees are listed when
viewing “search for section” on WarriorWeb. Please contact
the Controller’s Office for the most current information.
FEES FOR EMPLOYEES, SPOUSES AND IDAHO
SENIOR CITIZENS
Full-time college employees, spouses of full-time employees
and Idaho senior citizens may be eligible for reduced fees
under certain conditions. Contact the Human Resources Office
for information. A senior citizen must be an Idaho resident
and at least 60 years of age on or before the first official
day of the semester to qualify for the Senior Citizen rate.
Registration Term Fee $20 per semester
Registration Fee $5 per credit hour (plus all applicable
course fees)
LATE FEES
Fall and Spring registration fees, tuition, housing, meals
and health insurance as well as other fees are due on or
before the fifth day of the semester. Late fees will be
assessed to accounts that are not paid in full or don’t have
a signed payment plan contract beginning on the sixth day of
the semester. Late fees are calculated from the start of the
semester – not when a particular class begins. Late fees
will be assessed per semester as follows:
Day 1 - 5 no late fee
Day 6 – 10 $50 late fee
Day 11 – 30 $100 late fee
Day 31 and thereafter $250 late fee
Note: Although health insurance waivers
can be submitted through the tenth day of the semester,
accounts with an outstanding balance, without a payment plan
(this could be the health insurance premium not waived) will
be assessed late fees beginning the sixth day of the
semester.

MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE
The State of Idaho has mandated that all full-time fee
paying students (8 or more credits) must be covered by
health insurance. The LCSC health insurance premium will be
added to the student’s registration fees and is due at the
time of fee payment. Students must maintain enrollment in at
least 8 credits and actively attend college for 30 days to
retain eligibility for the LCSC health insurance.
Students may elect to add dependents or
increase coverage by completing an enrollment form and
submitting payment on or before the tenth day of the
semester.
Students who are covered by a comparable,
or better, health insurance policy may waive the LCSC health
insurance policy by submitting a waiver through WarriorWeb.
Waivers can be submitted for the upcoming fall/spring
semester during advance registration. Waivers must be
submitted by 5:00 p.m. on the tenth day of the semester.
For more information on insurance
coverage, adding dependents, increasing coverage or to
submit a waiver, please visit Student Health Services or
their web site at:
www.lcsc.edu/osl
PAYMENT PLANS
It is the policy of the institution that all registration,
housing and meal service fees are due on or before the fifth
official day of the Fall and Spring semester. However, the
institution recognizes that financial emergencies may make
it difficult for a student to tender payment in full by the
fifth day of the semester. Therefore, students who have no
delinquent accounts with the college and have not defaulted
on any previous financial obligations incurred at the
college are given special consideration and may be permitted
to make payment arrangements for payment of fees. The
payment plan requires a 40% down payment. Students allowed
to make fee payment arrangements will be required to sign a
formal promissory note and will be assessed an
administrative service charge based upon the dollar amount
of the payment plan. The balance will generally be due in
two equal installments as specifi ed on the promissory note.
SPONSORED STUDENTS
The institution allows certain third parties, via written
authorization, to provide financial assistance for
Specificed students. Most governmental entities and some
employers are eligible for this service. Students’ initial
contact will be directly with the third party. More
information is available in the Controller’s Office.
RETURNED CHECKS
A fee of $20.00 will be assessed on returned checks. A
student who presents a check to avoid late fees that
subsequently is returned by the bank upon which it is drawn
will be assessed late payment fees as if he or she had
failed to submit payment on a timely basis.
FINANCIAL AID RELEASE
Financial aid is first applied to student accounts
approximately 2 weeks before the fall or spring semester for
students who have returned their award letters along with
any other required documents, and are registered for the
appropriate number of credits. If financial aid awarded
exceeds the amount of charges, a residual check will be
prepared. Residual checks and scholarship assistance will
not be released prior to the first business day before the
official start date of the semester. Checks will be released
according to an alphabetical schedule based upon last name.
Financial aid and residual checks will continue to be
processed on a weekly basis throughout the semester.
Financial Aid for summer semester requires
verification of attendance to be submitted to the Financial
Aid Office; in addition to signed award letters and any
other required documents. After attendance verification has
been received, financial aid awards may be posted to student
accounts. If the financial aid awards exceed the amount of
charges, residual checks will be processed weekly.
Residual checks are released by the
Controller’s Office and photo identification is required.
For information regarding residual check availability,
please contact the Controller’s Office.
REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES
The refund policy is subject to change without prior notice.
Refunds are based on a 16-week semester, contingent upon
payment in full of registration, tuition and fees. Upon
completion of the institutional withdrawal process, students
are entitled to a refund of registration, tuition and fees
as established by the institution and federal regulations
regarding Title IV federal financial aid. Failure to
initiate and/or complete the institutional withdrawal
process will result in zero refund.
TOTAL WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL SEMESTER
COURSES:
Notifications of withdrawal and requests for refunds must be
in writing. Refunds are processed upon the completion of the
withdrawal process. Please see the withdrawal information
located in the Admission/Registrar section of the catalog
for procedural details. Federal financial aid recipients
‘earn’ their aid as the semester progresses. When a federal
aid recipient withdraws, a pro rata schedule is used to
determine the amount of funds the student has earned at the
time of withdrawal. Students who do not earn any credits and
do not withdraw, may have their earned aid calculation based
on the mid-point of the semester, or the last date of an
academically related activity in which the student
participated and the school can verify.
Federal regulations regarding Title IV
federal financial aid take precedence over institutional
policy for refunds to recipients of Title IV financial aid.
If Title IV funds are involved and a student fails to
withdraw from college, and fails to complete any credits,
the student will be responsible to pay LCSC, within 30 days,
the amount returned by LCSC under the Return of Title IV
Funds federal regulations.
REFUND SCHEDULE:
When withdrawal is completed on or before the fifth day of
the semester, 100% of the registration and tuition fees will
be refunded.
If withdrawal is completed after the
semester has begun, the following schedule applies:
