LATE FEE
All students not paid in full by the end of the 13th week of the semester will be charged a $25 late fee. 

DISHONORED CHECKS/NSF FEE
Checks will be considered NSF/dishonored after they have been presented to the bank twice and are returned to Central Lakes College unpaid due to non-sufficient funds, closed account, stop payment, etc. Dishonored checks will be backed out of the account to which they were deposited and the NSF fee will be charged. If the reversal of the receipt causes the account to become unpaid after the due date, applicable late charges will also be added to the account. The NSF fee is currently $30 and is subject to change without notice.

SENIOR CITIZEN COSTS
In May 2010, the Minnesota legislature voted to change the senior citizen age from 62 to 66.  This change takes effect August 2, 2010.

Persons 66 years of age and older may enroll in courses, on a space available basis, for an administrative fee of $20 per semester credit in lieu of tuition. Senior citizens are exempt from student activity and health services fees, but are required to pay all other applicable student fees. Senior citizens who audit a course do not pay the $20 administrative fee, student activity fee or health services fees, but are still responsible for all other applicable fees.
