Learn about Dates and Costs

Each student is charged for one semester’s tuition and fees at the start of the semester. The student must clear all balances (or provide a valid letter of financial guarantee) by the payment deadline in order to avoid being dropped from the LCC. Visit the Tuition and Fee Payment page for information about payment methods.

COURSE DATES

Applications received after the stated deadline are charged a $50 late application fee. NOTE: only new students can apply for half semesters. Continuing students must always enroll in full semesters after their initial start at the LCC. Half semesters are not available for continuing students.
