  • International students are considered out-of-state residents throughout their enrollment at the College.
  • All courses are charged a $30.00 General Services Fee per credit hour and a $40.00 Technology Fee per credit hour. Therefore, a student taking one three (3) credit course at $220.00 per credit would pay $660.00 plus any course fees.
  • The estimated book allowance charges at LCCC for full-time students is $1,000.00 and part-time students is $500.00.
