MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE
The State of Idaho has mandated that all full-time full-fee
paying students (12 or more credits) must be covered by health
insurance. The LCSC health insurance premium will be added to
the student’s
fees and is due at the time of fee payment.
Students must maintain enrollment in at least 12 credits and
actively attend college for 30 days to retain eligibility for
health insurance.
Students may elect to add dependents or
increase coverage by completing an enrollment form and
submitting payment on or before the fifth 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
fifth day of the semester and must be completed each term.
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
College policy states that all tuition, fees, housing and meal
charges are due on or before the fifth official day of the Fall
and Spring semester. However, the College 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
Institution and have not defaulted on any previous financial
obligations incurred at LCSC are given special consideration and
may be permitted to make payment arrangements for payment of
fees. 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 payment plan requires a 40% down
payment. The balance will generally be due in two equal
installments as specified on the promissory note. Due to the
shorter timeframe for summer courses, a payment plan for summer
enrollment requires a 50% down payment. The remaining balance
will be due at the mid-point of the student’s summer enrollment
period.
SPONSORED STUDENTS
Certain third parties, via written authorization, are allowed to
provide financial assistance for specified 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
10 days 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; 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 for the Fall and Spring
Semesters, contingent upon payment in full of tuition and fees.
Upon completion of the withdrawal process, students are entitled
to a refund of tuition and fees as established by the College
and
federal regulations regarding Title IV federal financial
aid. Failure to initiate and/or complete the withdrawal process
will result in zero refund. The refund schedule for Fall and
Spring Semesters is shown below. The refund schedule for summer
semester is available on the Controller’s Office website.
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 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 a verified academic related activity. 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, 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
fall or spring semester, 100% of the tuition and fees will be
refunded. If withdrawal is completed after the semester has
begun, the following schedule applies:

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
Privileges generally granted to students, including the receipt
of transcripts and diplomas, are not available to students who
are delinquent in the payment of any financial obligation to the
Institution. When financial obligations are not paid in full by
the due date, or satisfactory arrangements for payment have not
been made with the Controller, or his/her designee, students may
not be allowed to remain in class and will not be allowed to
register for ensuing classes. Delinquent accounts are referred
to a commercial collection agency. In addition to any balances
owed, students are responsible for the costs of collection,
including interest, penalties, collection agency fees, court
costs and attorney fees.
