Tuition and Fees

Lake Washington Institute of Technology follows the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) tuition and fees policies, which generally describe the amounts that are charged for different types of classes and students. More information is available at the SBCTC tuition and fees webpage.

Tuition Information

With the new LionsLink Powered by ctcLink system, students can see more information about tuition and fees than LWTech's old legacy system. The tuition can be seen split into three components:

  • Operating fee: A tuition fee that supports school operations.
  • Building fee: A tuition fee that supports infrastructure and innovation. This tuition fee is charged for in-person and online classes.
  • S & A (Services and Activities) fee: A tuition services and activity fee used to cover student activities and programs.

Most classes charge operating, building, and S&A fees as tuition. 

Resident Student Tuition

Previously, resident students may have only seen a charge of $580.25 for a 5-credit classes. Now in LionsLink, resident students will see a breakdown of their tuition charges into three components:

  • Resident Operating Fee - $458.70
  • Resident Building Fee - $61.90
  • Resident S&A Fee - $58.10

The total charged to the student remains the same—example above it is $580.25.

Below is an example of a typical set of charges for a resident student for one class.

Item  Term Class  Taxes  Amount Incl Tax Balance
Conversion Go-Live Adjustment 2021 Fall     -580.25 0.00
Resident Building 2021 Fall     61.90 0.00
Resident Operating 2021 Fall     458.70 0.00
Resident S & A 2021 Fall     59.65 0.00

Non-Resident Student Tuition

Non-Resident Students will see additional charges as part of SBCTC policy:

  • NonResident Operating Fee: Non-resident students may see both an ‘Operating Fee' and an ‘Operating Fee Diff'. The ‘Diff' fee is the differential between the resident and non-resident rate. 
  • NonResident Building Fee: Non-resident students will see two ‘NonResident Building' charges. One is the charge at the Resident rate, and the other is the non-resident differential. 

Below is an example of a typical Non-Resident Student Account: 

Item  Term Class  Taxes  Amount Incl Tax Balance
Non-Resident Waiver 2021 Fall     -2,097.92 0.00
NonResident Building 2021 Fall     158.76 8.74

Payment Plans

Sign up for the online Student Payment Plan to make monthly payments over the duration of the quarter. See below for more information.

The Student Payment Plan at Lake Washington Institute of Technology allows for payments to be made on an installment plan. Payments are divided into monthly installments for each academic quarter, and enrollment in the plan is done quarterly. It is important to note that the college does not administer the plan. Instead, you will be required to sign a payment plan agreement with Nelnet Business Solutions, Inc., which is also known as FACTS and e-Cashier.

Cost of Payment Plan

The Student Payment Plan covers the total tuition and course fees that are charged at registration for each quarter you are enrolled in the program. However, please be aware that books, tools, and supplies cannot be paid for using this plan. Additionally, there is a $20enrollment fee due per quarter when you enroll in the plan.

e-Cashier Information and Payment Plan Enrollment Dates

Missed Payment or Insufficient Funds

  • If you do not have sufficient funds for the first scheduled payment, you will be assessed a $30 missed payment fee and the payment plan will be terminated. You will have the option to re-enroll in a new plan.
  • If you do not have sufficient funds for the second or third scheduled payment, you will be assessed a $30 missed payment fee and the payment will be reattempted in 15 days (either the 5th or 20th of the month). You and the college will be notified if this occurs.
  • If there are still insufficient funds after two attempts, the payment plan may be terminated. Your account will be assessed the missed payment fee for each time a payment is reattempted. Some banks may charge an NSF fee for these attempts. Missed 2nd and/or 3rd payments will result in a block from future registration and services until the payment is made either at the cashier or after the next attempt by Nelnet.
  • If you have enrolled in a payment plan that requires a down payment and you do not have sufficient funds in your account at the time you enroll, the payment plan will be terminated.
  • If your plan is not paid in full by the end of the quarter you may be turned over to collections, with additional collection and legal fees.
  • You may pay the second or third payment to the cashier, but you must pay at least two (2) business days prior to the payment date. This will allow time to adjust or cancel your next payment should it be necessary.

Adding/Dropping Classes

  • If you add or change classes resulting in an increase in tuition and fees, your payment plan amount and subsequent payments will be adjusted accordingly on your next payment. Please ensure that you provide a minimum of two business days before the next payment for these changes to take effect.
  • In the event that you drop a class and your tuition and fees decrease, your payment plan amount will be adjusted accordingly on your next payment.
  • Please note that refunds for class withdrawal are based on full payment of tuition. If you withdraw from any classes after the 100% refund period, you will still have an outstanding balance on your payment plan. Furthermore, If you withdraw after all college refund dates have passed, you will still be responsible for the entire remaining balance of your payment plan. It is important to understand that this is not a pay-as-you-go payment plan. Instead, it divides your quarterly tuition into monthly installments.
