New tuition payment plan
New tuition reimbursement plan for LG Health Employees
(See below for details)
*** New Reimbursement Policy for LG Health Employees***
(Effective this fall semester of the 2010-11 academic year)
LG Health Employees who are accepted into a degree program at LGCNHS and who qualify to receive tuition reimbursement through Lancaster General Health will be required to pay only 10% of the bill by the due date each semester. In order to qualify, students MUST submit a copy of the signed/approved reimbursement form along with payment equal to 10% of the amount due to the Bursar’s office by the due date of the bill. This will ensure financial clearance to begin class and/or clinical.
Students are required to pay the remainder of the bill immediately upon receipt of tuition reimbursement from LGH.
General Information
The Bursar bills approximately six week prior to the 1st day of the semester. The due date is usually two weeks prior to the 1st day of the semester. Lancaster General College of Nursing & Health Sciences is an e-billing institution. This means that you will not receive a paper bill at home. Students are notified by the Bursar via e-mail when bills are posted in SONIS (our student information system) and at that time should go into SONIS and view their bill. After the initial posting of bills for a semester, charges are then posted daily. There will be no email from the Bursar. Students should be able to view their bill within 24 business hours or less of registering.
Failure to pay tuition bills in full may result in being sent to a third-party collection agency, In this case, reasonable collection fees and a report of negative credit may apply.
Open Studies Students are expected to pay in full at the time of registration.
Methods of paymentBills may be
paid online through our web site
www.lancastergeneralcollege.edu. Cash, checks, MasterCard and Visa payments will also be accepted in person at the college Administration building or over the phone during regular business hours. Lock boxes that may be used to drop of payments. There is one located in the college (410 N. Lime Street) and the mail slot in the front door of 549 N. Lime Street is also a lock box.
Financial Aid that has been APPROVED by your lender & certified by the school should appear as an “award “on your billing statement. This means financial aid will be deducted from the amount due. If a loan you have applied for does not appear on your bill, you should contact
financial aid immediately.
Outside Scholarships are disbursed evenly between both the fall and spring semesters unless otherwise stated in your scholarship letter. If a copy of your scholarship award letter is submitted to the Bursar’s office on or before the due date, you may deduct the amount (50% of the total) from that semester’s bill.
Nuclear Med, CIS & CLS students who will be receiving their degree from another institution are required to submit a copy of their award letter from that institution on or before the due date of your bill. Once the financial aid arrives, at that institution, and is refunded to the student, the student will then pay Lancaster General College.
