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 from college 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. 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:
