Past Due Fees:
• Past due fees owed to LTC results in a hold placed on your record, prohibiting further services. The hold remains in effect until the financial obligation has been satisfied.
o Students with outstanding balances will not be allowed to register.
o LTC reserves the right to require upfront payment from a student for future registrations.
o Transcripts, diplomas, and certificates will not be released.
o Past due balances may result in a referral to an outside collection agency and collection costs, and to the
Tax Refund Intercept Program or State Debt Collection.
o If a returning student has gone to collection agency more than 2 times and have cleared their balance,
they will have a cash only hold. This will allow a student to register if payment is made in full at the time
of registration or financial aid is put in place as anticipated on their account.

REFUNDS
Class Refund
When a student drops a class, the amount of refund received is calculated in accordance with the Wisconsin Technical College System refund schedule. That schedule is based on a number of factors, including when the withdrawal occurred and how much of the class meeting time has lapsed.
• If students withdraw on or before the first day of class, they are entitled to a fee refund equal to 100% of the fees.
• If students withdraw before or at the time 10% of the course's potential hours of instruction have been completed, they are entitled to a fee refund equal to 80% of the fees.
• If students withdraw after 10% but before more than 20% of the course's potential hours of instruction have been completed, they are entitled to a fee refund equal to 60% of the fees.
• If students withdraw after 20% of the course's potential hours of instruction have been completed, they are not entitled to a fee refund.
• No refunds will be considered for advanced standing and test-out fees.
• Students seeking advanced standing in classes they want to enroll in, or are enrolled in need to complete testing
out of the class within 14 days of the term start date in order to receive a full class refund.
If a student received financial aid to pay for the term, that money may be due back to financial aid.
Refund Appeals
All refund appeals must be initiated by sending the completed LTC 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 you will be responsible for payment. Refunds for extenuating circumstances (situations outside of your control) will be made at LTC'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. LTC’s obligation to follow-up on such disputes does not extend beyond the term the disputed charges took place.
