Failure to pay tuition by the required due date will result in a $25.00 late fee, student will not be allowed to attend class, and ultimately student will be dropped from their courses.

To resolve a prior semester/term balance, please contact the Business Office at 205-925-2515.
Failure to pay in full all tuition and other fees for any semester/term (or session) will result in a HOLD being placed on the account. A hold will be placed on a student's account, if an unpaid balance remains. Students will be restricted from registering for future semester/terms, paying graduation fee, and from receiving a transcript or diploma. For information regarding account holds, please contact the Business Office at 205-925-2515.
Delinquent accounts or accounts with unpaid balances are referred to a collection agency and may be reported to national credit bureaus. All costs, expenses and fees (including, but not limited to attorney fees, court costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the College in collecting or attempting to collect a past-due account arc the responsibility of the student, and shall be charged to the student's account. Please contact the Business Affairs Office immediately to resolve any past due account at 205-925-2515.

Some students have tuition payment arrangements through their employers or other third parties such as a company employer. As a rule of thumb, sponsors agree to be responsible for tuition charges only, not fees or other charges. Notification must be submitted to the Business Office or Student Financial Services.

•Lawson State no longer de-registers students when for missing a payment date. Instead students are not allowed to register for the next term/semester until their unpaid balance is paid.
Please note that if you have additional charges during the drop/add period after a refund has been generated, those in combination with other charges could result in your owing a balance.
You should never count on being automatically withdrawn for non-payment.
•When you register for classes, you assume the responsibility for all actions related to your enrollment. That is, should you decide to withdraw or not attend classes, the burden is on you to notify the college of your decision. Registration for classes indicates your intent to use our educational services. We will act accordingly to facilitate that action. Notify the Registrar's Office, by completing the Request to Drop, within the first week of registration of your decision to withdraw to avoid paying full semester charges and/or having your financial aid cancelled. You should not count on being automatically withdrawn for non-payment to relieve you of your responsibility to withdraw.
