FEES
Registration fees and tuition for Fall 2008 have been finalized and are available on the 2008-2009 Fee Schedule.  Some Academic classes and most Technical Division courses have additional course, lab, and/or program fees. These additional fees have been set and listed beside each class on the "Section Selection Results Page" of Warrior Web. Please contact the Controller’s Office for further details.

STATEMENTS
Student account statements can be viewed on Warrior Web after fees are billed, approximately August 1 for Fall semester.  Statements will be mailed in mid-August.

Check your student account statement on Warrior Web often to see if your account is paid in full, if your financial aid is posted, if you have a residual check in process, if your health insurance waiver has been processed, etc.

Fees are due by the fifth day of the semester whether or not you receive a statement.

PAYMENT
By registering for class(es), you created a financial obligation to LCSC. Whether you pay for your registration, tuition and other fees with cash, personal check, credit card, financial aid, or by some other means, it is YOUR responsibility to satisfy your financial obligation by 5 pm on August 29, 2008.

VISA, MasterCard, Diner's Club Card or DISCOVER card are currently accepted to pay fees.  Credit card payments can be made over the phone by contacting the Cashier at (208) 792-2351.  Your check may be mailed to LCSC, c/o Controller’s Office, 500 8th Avenue, Lewiston, ID 83501.

If you are paying with financial aid, and it is not going to be available by August 29, 2008, you must be prepared to pay your fees from other sources.

If your plans change and you will not be attending Fall semester, a written request is required to formally cancel your class schedule.  You may be subject to failing grades and financial repercussions if you do not cancel your schedule or formally withdraw.

LATE FEES -
To avoid late fees, your registration, tuition, housing, meals and other fees must be paid in full or a payment plan contract signed BY 5 pm on the FIFTH DAY OF THE SEMESTER, August 29, 2008. Payments made after the fifth day of the semester, will be subject to late fees. It is YOUR responsibility to confirm your account is paid in full by 5:00 pm on the 5th day to avoid late fees.

Students who pay their Registration fees, Housing and/or Meal charges or Payment Plan Contracts with a check that is subsequently returned by the bank may also have their class schedule canceled and late penalties will apply. A $20 service charge is assessed for each returned check.

PAYMENT PLANS
A payment plan may be available to students who have no delinquent accounts with the college and have not defaulted on any previous financial obligations incurred at the college. Students who are allowed to defer payment of fees 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. A down payment of 40% of total fees is required at the time the contract is signed.  Standard payment due dates are Sept. 25 and Oct 25, however, students should pay according to the dates on their signed payment plan.  Students should contact the Controller’s Office for additional details or to apply for a payment plan.

HEALTH INSURANCE

The State of Idaho Board of Education has mandated that all full-time fee paying students must be covered by health insurance.  Student Health Insurance was required beginning Fall 2003 for all full fee paying students enrolled in eight or more credits.  The health insurance premium will be added to your fees and due at the time of fee payment.  Students must maintain enrollment in at least 8 credits and actively attend school for 30 days to retain eligibility for the LCSC health insurance.  For more information visit the Student Health Services web site at www.lcsc.edu/osl

Students may elect to add dependents or increase coverage by completing an enrollment form and submitting payment no later than the FIFTH day of the semester, August 29, 2008, 5:00 p.m.

Student health insurance provided through LCSC may be waived if you are covered by a comparable, or better, health insurance policy. 

   HEALTH INSURANCE WAIVERS MUST BE SUBMITTED:

• EVERY Semester

• ON-LINE VIA Warrior Web (must log-in)

• By the FIFTH day of the semester

• The FALL 2008 DEADLINE IS August 29, 2008 5:00 p.m. 

• Refunds can NOT be processed after the deadline.

Some students may be selected for verification and written proof of health insurance coverage must be submitted to Student Health Services by the deadline or the waiver will be voided.

FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid should be available on August 22, 2008 for students who have met the Priority Deadline, returned their award letter with any other required documents, and have registered for the appropriate number of credits two weeks in advance of the first day of the semester. Students who fail to meet the Priority Deadline should be prepared to pay registration fees from other sources by the fifth day of the semester.

If your financial aid exceeds the amount of your charges, a residual check will be prepared for you. Residual checks and scholarship assistance will not be released prior to August 22, 2008.  Checks will be disbursed according to a time schedule based upon last name. The schedule will be included with the August statements and is available on the Controller's Office website. Students attending in Coeur d’Alene will have their checks mailed to the Coeur d’Alene Outreach Office.

Students who pick up residual checks on or before Day 5, must maintain the enrollment level for the aid disbursed through the fifth day.  If enrollment level drops before Day 6 immediate repayment of aid is required.

Students must present photo identification to obtain information regarding their student account or to pick up checks.

LOAN BORROWERS

NEW! ALL students will be required to submit a lender selection form to the Financial Aid Office before subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loan funds will be processed.  The form can be found at www.lcsc.edu/financialaid

Federal regulations require all NEW borrowers to attend an entrance counseling session before their first check can be disbursed. Entrance counseling is available on the web www.lcsc.edu/financialaid     New borrowers, who are first year students, will not receive their first disbursement until 30 days after the first day of the semester. Parents taking out PLUS loans should contact the Controller’s Office regarding disbursement.

Students who are attending both semesters during the academic year may receive 50 percent of their total award at the beginning of each semester (Fall/Spring). Students attending Fall semester only will receive the second half of the loan disbursement in late-October.

WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE

Should you fail to formally withdraw from your class(es), you may be subject to failing grades on your permanent transcript and you will not be entitled to ANY refund. Federal regulations will have a significant impact for financial aid recipients. Please contact the Controller’s Office to determine how this will affect you.
