*Specialized Fees (for Online Courses Only):  

eCollege Students are charged a $50  online course testing fee  (per online course and select virtual courses they take).  This fee is the same for online courses using ProctorU or Blackboard as their main testing vehicle.  All transferable online and some virtual courses require Proctor U testing for both the Mid-term and Final Exam, except ORI101 (which uses Blackboard).    Late fees apply if using ProctorU.  Students must schedule their Mid-term and Final with ProctorU at least 72 hours prior to testing.  If not, a  LATE fee (paid to ProctorU by the student) between $5.00 and $8.75 will be assessed.  In such cases, the student will have to pay this late fee (out of pocket) at the time of test scheduling.  The $50 online testing fee DOES not include late fees.  Fees are collected at the time of registration.

*Specialized fees assessed for online courses are subject to change and are non-negotiable and non-refundable if a student remains registered in an online course.  
Online Equipment Requirements (Fees Vary):
Students taking online courses will also encounter equipment expenses.  

All online students need to purchase or must have the following:

Computer (not an iPad). Available in bookstore or other major retailers.

The “first day of class” is the first day classes are offered within any term configuration, including but not limited to full terms, split terms, mini-terms, and weekend terms. A student who officially or unofficially withdraws completely on or after the first day of class but prior to the end of the third week of class will be refunded according to the withdrawal date, as follows

• Withdrawal before or on the first day of class - 100% refund of tuition and other institutional charges.
• Withdrawal during the first week of class - 75% of tuition and other institutional charges can be refunded to student.
• Withdrawal during the second week of class - 50% of tuition and other institutional charges can be refunded to student.
• Withdrawal during third week week of class - 25% of tuition and other institutional charges can be refunded to student.
• Withdrawal after the third week of class - NO REFUND 

For calculating refunds during the fall and spring sixteen week terms, a "week" is defined as seven calendar days. Refunds of tuition for terms shorter that sixteen weeks, such as summer terms, mini terms, and weekend terms will reflect a prorated week based on the number of days in the term.  For more information on the Refund process at Lawson State, please refer to the Student Catalog and Handbook.
