Payment Options

There are multiple ways to pay for your college tuition. Here is a list of options available to you.

Online by credit card or e-check

You may pay in full online by logging into myLSSC, navigating to the Student Links card, and then go to myLSSC and click the Make a Payment link on the Student Links card.

Payment Plans

LSSC offers a three-pay payment plan through CashNet. This plan allows students to pay tuition and fees for full-semester courses over time rather than in one lump sum.

Check or Money Order

Payments can be made by check or money order using the secure drop box on the Leesburg campus or sent through USPS mail.

Credit Card Payment Policy

A convenience fee will apply to all payments made by credit card for LSSC tuition, fees, and other account charges, including application fees.

Credit card payments are only processed through myLSSC using CashNet. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express will be accepted.

Cardholders will be notified of the convenience fee at the time of payment and be given the opportunity to opt out of the transaction and choose another payment option. In no case may CashNet SmartPay charge the fee without disclosure to the cardholder prior to finalizing payment.

Students can avoid paying the convenience fee by paying through myLSSC with an e-check (ACH bank transfer from checking or savings account).


Payment Confirmation

Students should confirm that their fees have been paid in full in CashNet before the fee payment deadline, even if they are anticipating Financial Aid, Loans, Scholarships, or Third-Party Payments.


Course Drop Deadline

Students are responsible for dropping themselves from any course they do not wish to attend by the course drop deadline for the specific for the specific semester/part of term that you’re enrolled. If they are still enrolled in a course after the drop deadline, they will be held financially responsible for their registered courses’ full cost.


Refunds/Disbursements

If you are due a refund on your student account, such as from a financial aid award, this refund will be issued by direct deposit or mailed as a check. To receive your refund in the shortest amount of time, sign up for direct deposit in CashNet.

When will my Financial Aid refund be disbursed?

Refunds for Financial Aid are processed within 14 business days of the Financial Aid department disbursing financial aid. Disbursement happens after your professor(s) have reported initial attendance. Attendance is reported following the second week of the term. If you are enrolled in a B-term class, aid will be disbursed after initial attendance is reported.

How to Set up Direct Deposit

To set up direct deposit, go to myLSSC and click on the Make a Payment link on the Students Links card. Once in CashNet, click My Account on the left hand navigation bar, then click Sign Up under the Direct Deposit Refunds section.


Parking Fee Waiver

If you have an in-person or hybrid class but do not park on campus, please take a moment to fill out the Parking Fee Waiver Request form in Workflow. Once you’ve logged in, click the blue +Request button, then search for Parking Fee Waiver Request.
