General Information on Payments

  1. Payments and/or sponsor authorization must be received in Student Finance by payment deadlines. LCC is not responsible for payments sent through the mail, if the payment is not received by the due date. Failure to drop courses you do not intend to pay for can result in your account being referred to a collection agency.

  2. Outstanding debts and materials at LCC must be returned or paid prior to registering for classes in order to avoid delays caused by "holds."

  3. Checks or money orders must be payable to Lansing Community College for the exact amount of tuition and fees.

  4. Write the following information on the front of your check:

    1. student number
    2. the semester or semesters to be paid for
    3. amount of any non-credit payment included
    4. driver’s license number
       

  5. The charge for the college processing a dishonored check, which includes checks you stop payment on, or credit card is $25.00. Fee subject to change.

  6. The college will not accept two-party checks.

  7. Students are encouraged to use Online Tuition Credit Card Payment, payment drop boxes, mail in payments, and to pay in advance of payment deadlines to avoid standing in long lines at Student Finance on final payment dates.

Payment Due Dates

Payment due dates are based on the day you register. Student bills will be sent in the mail and by e-mail on a bi-monthly basis. Payments are due within 10 days of the date that the student bill is generated. Students are responsible for maintaining current mail and e-mail addresses. Failure to maintain current addresses will result in the student not receiving billings. The student is responsible for payment whether or not a billing to the student can be generated.

Variable-Date Registration:
The payment due date for variable date registration participants is within 24 hours of registration.

The student must drop all classes that they do not plan to attend, pay for or receive a grade by the published drop dates to not incur charges.

    Tuition Payments
    7210 - Student Finance
    Lansing Community College
    PO Box 40010
    Lansing, MI 48901-7210

  4. In Person:
    To avoid standing in long lines, pay in advance of your payment due date. Cash, check, money order, MasterCard or VISA are accepted at Student Finance located on the second floor of the Gannon Building, Grand Avenue.

  5. By Drop Box (Inside):
    Located in the Student Finance area in the Gannon Building (available during building open hours - see Student Finances' Hours.) Payment envelopes are available at the drop box site. Complete all information requested and drop in the drop box with your payment. Complete a payment envelope for each student that payment is being made for. Payments will generally be posted to your student account the following business day after the drop box deposit. Please do not call to see if your payment has been posted. This causes delays in processing payments for all students. Receipts will be furnished upon individual request. DO NOT PUT CASH into the DROP BOX. Lansing Community College cannot be responsible for cash payments put in the drop box.

  6. By Telephone (517) 483-1005 or by Fax (517) 483-9858 using MasterCard or VISA:
    Call or fax and provide your credit card information prior to your payment deadline.

  7. By Sponsor (employer, state agency, etc.) Please plan ahead:
    Third party sponsorship is not Financial Aid, nor a Scholarship. Vouchers submitted for payment are subject to sponsor contract. If a sponsor is authorizing a partial payment, the student will be responsible for the balance due by the posted payment due date. The student is responsible for dropping classes he/she does not intend to take. Authorizations from a sponsor can take 6-8 weeks for processing.

    1. Enrollment prior to the “selective drop for non-payment” date (See the Academic Calendar):

      • Authorization must be received by the Student Finance Office prior to the “selective drop for non-payment” date.

    2. Enrollment after the “selective drop for non-payment” date (See the Academic Calendar)

    3. The following information must appear in the sponsor's authorization: student name, student number or Social Security number and clear billing instructions.

    4. Sponsor authorizations may be faxed to (517) 483-9858.

    8. For further information, sponsors and students can call Student Finance at (517) 483-1278.

  8. By Financial Aid (grants, scholarships, loans).
    Please plan ahead. Financial Aid may be available to those who qualify. For more information, visit www.lcc.edu/finaid.

  9. Employee Tuition Waiver:
    Tuition waivers for LCC employees and dependents will be applied to their accounts at the end of the 50% Refund Period (see DEADLINES for Drops, Adds, Refunds, and Audits). It may take 3-4 weeks to process the waivers. Employees are encouraged to add or verify their dependent information:

Refunds

  • Refund Process (517) 483-1272
    Refunds will begin to be issued 4-5 weeks after classes begin. If you are a financial aid recipient, you may or may not be eligible for all or a portion of any refunds. (See General Information, Financial Aid Checks).

    • If you pay by a personal check, refunds will be held for 21 days from the date the payment is posted to your account to allow for check processing. Holds and/or an incomplete address will always stop all refunds from being processed.

  • Financial Aid Recipients and Third Party Sponsor Payments Refund Rules
    If courses are paid through financial aid or by a sponsor, or the college employee exemption, students must contact Enrollment Services to officially drop their courses. Failure to officially withdraw could cause the course to remain on the student's academic record making them financially responsible for payment.

  • Refund Criteria
    Refund criteria is outlined on the Deadlines for Drops, Adds, Refunds, and Audits chart.

For additional refund dates, see Deadlines for Drops, Adds, Refunds, and Audits.
