General Information on Payments
Outstanding debts, including accounts in collections, and materials at LCC must be returned or paid prior to registering for classes in order to avoid delays caused by "holds."
Checks or money orders must be payable to Lansing Community College for the exact amount of tuition and fees.
Write the following information on the front of your check:
- student number
- the semester or semesters to be paid for
- amount of any non-credit payment included
- driver’s license number
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.
The college will not accept two-party checks.
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 can be made at our Student Finance (Cashier) office, by mail or at www.lcc.edu/starport.
Payment plans are only available at our Web Site. Please refer to the Payment Due Dates section for payment deadlines. You will receive a tuition bill mailed to your current active address and LCC student e-mail address. Students are responsible for maintaining current mail and e-mail addresses. Failure to maintain current address will result in the student not receiving billings. You can also view and print your tuition bill by going to www.lcc.edu/starport. If payment is not received by the due date, financial aid is not secured, third party sponsors authorization is not turned in or you are not in the FACTS payment plan, you may be dropped from your courses. Students should not assume they will be dropped from a class or classes for nonpayment as there are many factors which will determine whether and when a student is dropped for nonpayment. Additionally, students are not automatically dropped for non attendance.
It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from a course.
If you are dropped from your courses, you may reregister with no guarantee of obtaining the same course schedule.

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.
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.
