If you're age 62 or older on the first day of the semester and a resident of Michigan six months prior to the beginning of the semester in which you register, you now qualify for a reduced tuition rate on classes at LCC. This rate applies to LCC classes taken for audit or credit. Classes with zero billable hours are not covered by the tuition rate reduction. Senior citizens will continue to pay registration, course and facility fees. For details, e-mail the LCC Welcome Center at welcome@lcc.edu or call (517) 483-1957.
Students are responsible for knowing their residency status and understanding tuition rates at which payment is made to the college.

About Billing Hours
What is a billing hour?
The cost for attending a course is determined by the course's billing
hours, instead of credit hours. A billing hour represents an amount of
time that a student spends in direct contact with an instructor or with
laboratory equipment.
How are billing hours for a course determined?
Several factors are considered in determining the billing hours of a
course. The main factor is the number of hours the student is expected
to either be in a class or in another "instructional" setting (such as a
lab) in a typical week for a full semester course. LCC courses range
from one billing hour to more than 10 billing hours per course. The
billing system caps the number of billing hours that can be added to a
course. For the majority of courses at LCC, the credit hours and the
billing hours are the same.
