PAYMENT

Deferred Payment Plan Policy

LGU encourages students to pay in full at registration. If students are not able to pay their full tuition for the semester at the beginning of the academic year, they are required to enter into a deferred payment plan agreement, which allows them to pay their tuition in installments throughout the semester. Students will be charged a fee of $45 to use the deferred payment plan. A $15 late payment fee will be added each month when a student fails to schedule a payment.

However, students will be allowed to select courses for future semesters. Students will not be able to request official transcripts and diplomas if their balance is not paid in full. Students are encouraged to make financial arrangements with the Business Office to avoid accounts being referred to by a third-party agency for collection purposes. Students will be responsible for any collection fees and interest that are associated with their delinquent account.
