Student Policies

Student Fee Deferment

Current tuition may be paid in two installments during the fall and spring terms rather than paid in full at the time of registration. Students requesting this program must be continuing LSUS students who are not on academic probation. A student who chooses to defer payment must pay at least one-half of tuition and fees during the pre-registration period (if the student has pre-registered) or during regular registration. A $20 non-deferrable, non-refundable handling fee is charged for this service. The balance of the deferred fees is due no later than October 15 in the fall term and March 1 in the spring term. A late fee of $25 will be assessed for late payment. Due to the brevity of the summer term(s), no fee deferment is available.

Students resigning from the university are expected to clear all financial obligations to the university before resigning. Should a student owe deferred fees, the student will be allowed to resign but will not be released from his or her financial obligation and must comply with the university's collection procedures. Until the debt is cleared, the student may not receive transcripts and will not be allowed to re-enroll at the university. Students with outstanding balances at the end of the term will have their accounts referred to a collection agency. The student is responsible for payment of all collection costs.
