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.
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.
