Tuition and Fees

You can pay your tuition with cash, check, debit card, or charge it to your VISA or MasterCard account. Cash and debit card payments must be made in person. To avoid cashier lines, use the Web at https://www.lwtc.edu/wts/wccba/index.html. For estimated program tuition and fees, please see the table on the Tuition Rates page. Checks can be mailed to LWTC, 11605 132nd Ave NE, W201F, Kirkland WA 98034.

Students who enroll after the first day of the quarter must pay tuition and fees at the time of registration.

Students with tuition and fees that have not been received by the fifth day of the quarter are subject to being dropped from classes. Students enrolled in the STEPP program or who have previously arranged funding through an LWTC office (Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Worker Retraining, etc.) will not be dropped for non-payment.

Student Payment Plan The Student Payment Plan allows students to pay tuition and fees on an installment plan. Payments are made in monthly installments for each academic quarter. For more information, please see http://www.lwtc.edu/pplan.

Refunds For Tuition And Special Course-And Program-Connected Fees:

Students who officially withdraw from the college or reduce their class loads and complete all applicable fee refund forms may receive refunds for tuition and/or fees according to the refund conditions listed below. However, for federal- or state-funded students, financial aid will be returned to aid programs on a pro-rata basis consistent with applicable federal and state rules.

Agency or Employer Payments:

Students whose tuition and/or books will be paid by a third party, such as Labor & Industries, Dept. of Vocational Rehabilitation, or the student's employer, need to contact the Student Accounts Office (W201E) at (425) 739-8184 or studentaccounts@lwtc.edu.

You Will Receive A 100 Percent Refund When:

• The college cancels a course.
• For self-supported courses, a drop request is submitted via Web or in writing to Enrollment Services prior to the second class session. If a course has only one session, the request must be received before the course starts.
• For state-supported courses, a refund request is submitted via Web, or in writing to Enrollment Services through the fifth business day of the quarter.

You Will Receive A 50 Percent Refund:

Upon dropping a state-supported course after the fifth business day of the quarter and through the tenth business day of the quarter. (See note*)

You Will Receive A 40 Percent Refund:

Upon dropping a state-supported course after the tenth business day of the quarter and through the twentieth calendar day of the quarter or next work day if the twentieth day falls on a weekend or holiday. (See note*)

The 100/50/40 percent proportional refund applies to withdrawal from short courses and courses that start early, start late, or are shorter than the full quarter. It is not based upon the number of sessions you have attended but rather when you officially drop. Refund deadlines may differ for classes that begin after the first week of the quarter. Refund deadlines may also differ for Washington On-Line, extended learning classes, and classes with start dates mid-quarter and later.

Official Withdrawal Definition:

Official withdrawal occurs when a student drops all classes. Refund requests must be made in person, in writing, or via the Web. At the time of withdrawal, the longest course sets the refund rate for all courses being dropped at that time.

Pass-Through Fees Refund:

Fees such as insurance that are passed through to another agency may be refunded at 100 percent through the first week of the quarter only. No refund will be made if any insurance claim has been filed.
