Tuition and fees subject to change without notice. Some classes may have additional costs above tuition, the general service fee, and the technology fee.


Contact Hour Fees
A $31 per-contact-hour fee will be charged to all students. The fee supports services provided by the College that directly enhance the learning experience. Of the $31, $3 is used for reinvestment in academic equipment, $10 is assessed as an Enrollment and General Academic/Student Activity Fee, $10 as a Facility Use Fee to assist in the upgrade and maintenance of the campuses, and $8 as a Technology Fee to fund campus computer and classroom technology equipment upgrades. Other fees may be assessed based on the course structure, payment timing or late registration.

Delinquency/Collection Fee
A $25 delinquency/collection fee will be added to all account balances not paid by the due date on their final notice.

Experiential Fee
The experiential fee is for students who, through work experience and demonstration of their knowledge, place out of classes. If you substitute work experience for a class this way and have the credits applied toward your transcript, a fee of $50 will be charged for each course you test out of.

Late Registration Fee
A late registration fee will be charged if you register for classes after the Tuition Payment Deadline. A flat fee of $20 will apply. The Tuition Payment Deadline is published in the Academic Calendar in the front of each class schedule. If you register and pay for classes prior to the Tuition Payment Deadline and then decide to add classes to your schedule after that date, the Late Registration Fee will not apply to the classes you add.

Modular Course Fees & Tuition
General service fees for modular courses are charged on the basis of $1.00 for modules that are less than one credit, and $9.00 per credit for those worth one credit or more. Tuition for modular courses are based on the decimal equivalent of credit assigned to the module. For information about tuition charges for specific modular courses, contact the instructor or Student Services.

Internet Course Tuition

Tuition for Internet courses offered through Lake Michigan College, as well as through members of the Michigan Community College Virtual Learning Consortium (MCCVLC), differs from standard tuition rates. The rates are:

Students whose home community college school  district is LMC, are accessed according to LMC's Residency Requirements. View the Lake Michigan College Residency Requirements. Students whose home college is other than LMC, are eligible for in-district tuition rates if they are residents of any Michigan community college district. Michigan residents who do not live within a community college district will be charged service-area rates. All other students will pay the out-of-state tuition rate. The only LMC fee that is applied, in addition to the internet tuition rate, is a Late Registration fee as appropriate.
