Fees

 

Tuition/Fees                                    Current Tuition/Fees

Tuition rates and refund schedules for all state system universities are established by the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education.  Since the state subsidizes these institutions, and since
it is possible for a number of students to earn part of their expenses through campus employment or the Federal work-study program,
the total yearly costs are comparatively low.  All fees are subject to change without notice.  Please check our Web site at www.lhup.edu/business for the most current fees.

Student Activity Fee

All full-time students of LHU must pay an activities fee as mandated by the President of the University under Legislative Act XIII of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, and administered under regulations approved by the Council of Trustees through the Student Cooperative Council, Inc. (S.C.C.).  This fee helps to underwrite the cost of student activities, intercollegiate athletics, social functions, dances, movies, concerts, art and lecture series, cultural events, the student newspaper, and PUB recreational facilities.

Each student receives a student identification/activities (I.D.) card.  This card is the property of the Student Cooperative Council, Inc.  It is issued at the beginning of the student's freshman year and should be kept as long as the student is enrolled at the University.  The I.D. card is validated each semester upon the payment of the student activities fee.  The validated I.D. card must be presented to gain admission to all events sponsored by the S.C.C.  There is no charge for the original card.  There is a charge of $15 for replacement cards.

During the summer sessions, the student activities fee is $7 for
all students.


Student Teachers and Interns Fees

Student teachers and interns spending the entire semester in Centre, Clearfield, Lycoming, Montour, and Union Counties are required to pay the full activities fee of $146.  Those serving half-semester assignment in one of the above counties and a half semester outside these counties pay $73.  Those outside the above counties the entire semester pay $34.  Student teachers and interns are entitled to all benefits extended by payment of this fee.  It is the responsibility of the student to inform the S.C.C. in writing of his/her assignment for the semester if he/she is entitled to the reduced rates.  Student teachers and interns may have their I.D. cards validated by mail, or by having a friend take the cards to the PUB secretary's office.

Married Students

One activities fee will cover the entire family of a married student. 
Any member of the family who is an enrolled student of the University must pay the full individual activities fee.  It is the responsibility of the student to inform the S.C.C. secretary that he/she is married so the I.D. card can be marked accordingly.

Delinquent Accounts

No student shall be enrolled, graduated or entitled to receive an official transcript until all charges have been paid.

Other Fees

Application Fee:  A fee of $30 is required of all applicants ($25
if submitted on-line).  It is not refundable and is not credited to a student's account.  

Damage Fee:  Students are responsible for damages, breakage, loss, or delayed return of University property. 

Deferred Payment Fee:  The Deferred Payment option may be elected in order to pay half of the balance due by the specified date with the remaining balance due six weeks after the semester begins. 
A $20 fee is assessed for this option.

Drop-Add Fee:  A fee of $5 per transaction is charged each student who adds or drops credits after the end of the add period.

Non-Sufficient Fee:  A fee of $25 is charged when a check is returned by the bank due to insufficient funds.

Recording Fee:  A fee of $25 is charged for each course credited through the College Level Examination Program and for each course credited locally through credit by examination.

Record Transcript Fee:  A fee of $2 is charged for the second and each subsequent transcript record.

Certification Fee:  A $15 fee is charged for all graduates applying for professional personnel certification to cover the cost of processing certificates.

Overseas Student Fee:  Students spending a semester abroad will be charged, depending on their program, an extra fee of at least $150.

Off-Campus Service Fee:  Students who are not matriculated at LHU and who are enrolled only for off-campus courses, excluding Clearfield, pay a service fee of $800.  This fee is in lieu of the non-tuition fees, which are normally charged.

Parking Decal Fee:  Annual fees per registered vehicle range from $5 - $35 for faculty, staff and those students who are eligible to park on campus.

Late Payment Fee:  A $30 late payment fee will be assessed all payments received after the published due dates.

Housing and Food Service

The University makes every effort to help beginning students adapt successfully to college.  For this reason, the University reserves the right to require students to live on campus for a designated period during their study at LHU.  Exceptions from this requirement will be considered on a case by case basis.

All arrangements for housing services other than those noted
are subject to the action of the Council of Trustees as reviewed
by the Fees Committee of the Board of Presidents and approved
by the Board of Governors.  All students who live on campus
are required to accept the board contract unless excused for
medical reasons.

Deposits

at the beginning of the semester. The deposit is non-refundable.
