Payment Plan

SUMMER 2012 SESSION

Students registering for a minimum of six hours (four hours during summer session) may qualify for a partial deferment of fees. All prior semester balances must be paid in full. Prior balances cannot be deferred. If qualified, a student may pay one-third (one half during summer session) of total tuition and fees due plus a $25 deferment fee to secure his or her class schedule. Remaining balances are paid in two additional payments for fall and spring semester, one additional payment during summer semester. Final payment will be the balance in full. A $25 non-refundable deferment fee will be added to accounts not paid in full at the start of each semester. A $25 late fee will be added to accounts not paid in full by the posted deadlines.

First payment due by May 25, 2012 - 50% of total deferrable tuition and fees plus $25 deferment fee.

Final deferment payment due June 15, 2012.

FALL 2012 SEMESTER

New payment plan options for fall! 

Students will now have the option to spread payments over as many as six months depending on how early they enroll in the plan. For the fall semester, if a student enrolls in the payment plan before the end of May, the total amount due will be divided into six payments. Enrollment each month after that reduces the number of payments by one, ending in August with four payments.  

Terms of the payment plan:

• Student must not have any past due balances.

• First payment is due upon enrollment.

• All enrollment in the payment plan is done online through LoLA – my.lctcs.edu.

• As a condition of enrollment, student must provide bank routing and account numbers or credit card information for auto-draft of future payments.

• Payment plan fee is $30.

• Payment due date is the 15^th of each month.

Deliquent Accounts / Violation of Payment Deadlines

Any balance remaining after payment deadlines published in this schedule (but before classes are removed from the system) will cause a $30 non-refundable deferment fee to be assessed to the student’s account. Failure to honor your payment plan dates or not paying any balance in full by the end of the term may result in your account being placed with a collection agency. Students will be responsible for all fees associated with placement. Holds that restrict registration, viewing of grades, and/or graduation will be placed on all accounts with a balance remaining after the last scheduled payment date.

Waiver of Tuition

Students may receive a waiver of base tuition and applicable fees if they are active National Guard members, New Orleans police officers or fire fighters, dependents of a disabled or deceased in the line of duty police officer, firefighter or military personnel, or full-time students cross-enrolled from UNO, SUNO, SLU, NCC. If you believe you may qualify for a tuition waiver, please submit documents to verify eligibility to the Accounts Receivable office at the City Park Campus or the Bursar’s office at the location you attend.

Senior Citizens: Tuition is waived for Louisiana residents 60 years and over for one three-credit-hour course each semester (no auditing or non-credit). Students pay a non-refundable $25 application fee and all other assessed fees.

Refund of Tuition and Fees

For students reducing their credit hours or officially withdrawing from the College, all or a portion of their refundable tuition and fees may be credited to their account according to a refund schedule published each semester in the Student Handbook. Students must complete the drop/withdrawal process before the posted deadlines to qualify for a reduction in amounts owed.

Nonattendance does not constitute withdrawal. Students who have classes secured through any means, including pending financial aid, must withdraw from the College if they decide not to attend. Students with secured classes may have a financial obligation to the College if they do not withdraw, even if they never attend. If a credit balance remains after all tuition and fees due are deducted from any payments that have been applied, the balance will be returned to the student automatically.
