Tuition And Fees

You can pay your tuition with cash, check or charge it to your VISA or MasterCard account. Cash payments must be made in person. To avoid cashier lines, use the Web at https://www.lwtc.ctc.edu/wts/wccba/index.html. For estimated program tuition and fees, please see the table on the Tuition Rates page.

Students are expected to pay tuition by the first day of the quarter. Students who have not paid tuition and fees or have not dropped their classes by the fifth day of the quarter will continue to owe tuition. Students who still owe tuition after this date will not be able to register for future quarters, receive official transcripts, or graduate until their tuition has been paid.

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.

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 starts. 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 instructional day of the quarter.

You Will Receive A 50 Percent Refund:

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

You Will Receive A 40 Percent Refund:

Upon dropping a state-supported course after the tenth day of instruction and through the twentieth calendar day of the quarter. (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. Refunds will be calculated using Schedule 8.S.17 of the campus Policy and Procedure Manual.

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 and distance learning 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.
