Withdrawal and Refund Policy

Any student who does not cancel his reservation at least one week before the formal beginning of the semester for which he is enrolled must pay 20% of the full semester's tuition within thirty (30) days.

After a student has enrolled in the college, any action that would cause the student to leave the college before routine completion of the semester (voluntary or involuntary) will be considered a withdrawal.

To withdraw from the college with official approval, a student must have a withdrawal form properly executed by the Dean of Students.

A student whose withdrawal is officially approved before the end of the first four weeks of the semester owes all fees and tuition for the semester according to the following schedule:

During the first week - 20%
During the second week - 40%
During the third week - 60%
During the fourth week - 80%
After four weeks - 100%

A student is entitled to a full refund of tuition prior to commencement of instruction if the student submits a written request to the college and he never attends class.

If the student is a dormitory student, he also owes the room and board at a pro-rated amount based on the length of his stay.

Whenever a student's status is changed to “withdrawal” and the student owes money to the college, the money is due upon withdrawal. The student will not be allowed to return to LBC until all past bills are paid, and no records will be released until all bills are paid.

Should a student leave the college for any reason after having paid more than the amounts outlined above, a refund is made to him for any overpayment; but no other refund is made to a student for any other reason. No refunds are issued on a student's account until after the third week of school has been completed.
