Refund Appeals
All refund appeals must be initiated by sending the completed Lakeshore Technical College Request for Refund Appeal with proper documentation to the Registrar no later than 42 calendar days from the end of the term.
A refund request made after the 42-day grace period will not be accepted and students will be responsible for payment. Refunds for extenuating circumstances (situations outside of students control) will be made at Lakeshore’s discretion.
Disputed Fee Assessment
Disputes regarding registration, withdrawals, and related fee assessments or refunds MUST be brought to the attention of Student Billing and/or the Registrar during the semester in which the registration and related fee assessment occurred. Lakeshore’s obligation to follow-up on such disputes does not extend beyond the term the disputed charges took place.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Lakeshore Technical College Foundation awards scholarships to assist students with the costs of tuition, fees, and books for both fall and spring semesters. Scholarship selection criteria differ depending on the opportunity, and can include, but are not limited to financial need, merit, program enrollment, and general student success. Foundation scholarships are funded by charitable donations from local foundations, Lakeshore staff, businesses, friends, and alumni who elect to invest in their community by supporting technical education, the college, and its students.
Foundation scholarship application and information can be found on My Lakeshore. Enrolled students can go to their “My Lakeshore” page and click on the orange and yellow icon for AwardSpring and sign in with their Lakeshore username and password to see a list of scholarships and complete an application.
