Factors that may affect your tuition
**In-state -To qualify for in-state tuition rates, you must be an American citizen or immigrant, and permanent resident of Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada or Washington.
***Out-of-state-You must pay out-of-state tuition rates if your permanent residence is outside the states of Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada or Washington.
Foreign/International-You must pay international tuition rates if you are a citizen of another country and require an I-20 to attend college. International students do not become residents, regardless of the length of their residency within the state.
The amount of tuition you pay is determined by your residency and by the number of credit hours you are taking. You should be aware that some classes charge a fee in addition to tuition.
Residency Policy -Tuition rates and fee schedules differ for students who reside in Oregon, students who do not live within the state or bordering states, and for international students.You pay resident tuition if (1) you have lived in Oregon for at least 90 continuous days immediately preceding the term and can demonstrate your intent to become a permanent resident, (2) if you are an immigrant or (3) if you are a permanent resident of California, Idaho, Washington or Nevada. For detailed information and a list of documents that will be accepted as proof of residency, contact the Director of Enrollment Management in Takena Hall, 917-4811.
In addition, the LBCC Board of Education has designated some programs as Regional Programs, allowing out-of-state students to pay in-state tuition the first term of their enrollment. For subsequent terms, these students must establish and meet LBCC’s residency requirements to qualify for in-state tuition.
Student Activity and Program Fee -Each student is assessed $1.76 per credit as a student activity and program fee. This fee, which cannot exceed $27, is included in the above listing of tuition and fees. Income derived from the fee supports extracurricular activities and programs, including athletics, artist and lecturer guest appearances, clubs and organizations, and a variety of recreational and social activities.
