Summer term is optional; however, additional expenses for tuition and books will result if you take summer classes. Most of our courses are 3 credits courses; therefore, 12 credits are 4 courses. You may take up to 18 credits each term without additional tuition cost.

Summer term is optional; however, additional expenses for tuition and books will result if you take summer classes. All MBA courses are 3-credit courses; therefore, 9 credits are 3 courses.

Attention:

All international students who have been granted an F1 visa to attend Lakeland College:

Your account balances must be paid in full by October 1 for the fall semester and February 1 for the spring semester.

If you fail to fulfill your financial responsibility or your account balances are not paid by the above dates, Lakeland College will terminate you as an F1 visa student in the SEVIS. Termination is a serious action, and you will fall out of status immediately upon termination.
