Methods of Tuition Payments
LCAD accepts cash, check, American Express, Master Card, and Visa. LCAD allows you the option to pay tuition in four (4) payments over the course of each semester you are enrolled. If you fail to make tuition payments, LCAD reserves the right to bar you from class, withhold grades, withhold diploma and/or transcripts, and/or to enforce suspension.
Tuition Refund Policy
If you withdraw from LCAD prior to completing 60% of a semester or 60% of a class less than a semester in length, a refund will be calculated on a pro-rated basis using a percentage that is proportional to the enrollment period you completed. The refund is calculated by multiplying the percentage of attendance in the class or classes by LCAD’s charges for the classes you attempted. No refunds will be paid after the 60% completion date.
