Review the estimated costs to attend LCOOU including tuition, fees, housing, books and other expected expenses. Review Cost of Attendance

If you applied for and received financial aid, compare the total aid you have been awarded to the cost of attendance. Your financial aid package may include grants, scholarships, and work study. Make sure you understand each of the options available to you. Keep in mind that your work study award is the opportunity to earn income over the semester. Consequently, it is best used to cover living expenses throughout the semester, rather than to meet the university bill due at the beginning of the semester.

If your award package won't cover your cost of attendance, you can explore other possibilities for resources. Some of your options include applying for additional scholarships or looking for part-time employment.

The LCOOU Financial Aid Office has established an appeal process to allow for a possible recalculation of financial need based on special or unusual circumstances. Families with significant reductions in income levels can complete the Financial Aid Appeal Form

The student must complete a current year FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before an appeal will be reviewed.

You can also sign up for a payment plan with the Business Office through your myLCOOU Account. You can set up a payment plan on your myLCOOU Student Portal
