Lane Community College
CreditLine Plan and Account Agreement

Payments:

• Accounts not paid at the time of registration will be subject to the terms and conditions of the CreditLine Plan and Account Agreement.
• Financial Aid funds from any source will be applied to account balance(s) existing with the College.
• Amounts owed the College will be billed monthly. Credit students are sent e-mail notifications when their billing statement is available for viewing in ExpressLane, located at www.lanecc.edu. Students are no longer mailed paper billing statements. Non-credit/Extended Learning students will continue to be mailed paper billing statements, unless they have opted out for the electronic e-mail notification only. The due date is annotated on the billing statement.
• Out-of-State and foreign students are required to pay the total amount billed.
• Payments will be applied to the oldest term for which an amount is owed.
• Credits are posted to the term in which the original charge was recorded.
• Returned checks or bank card payments will be subject to a returned item fee.
• All amounts due to the College must be paid in full prior to registration for subsequent terms or release of transcript.
• Lane Community College does not provide for special payment arrangements to prevent an account from being referred to a collection agency or reported to a credit bureau. Payments can be made by check, VISA/MasterCard, cash, or Money Order. To avoid additional finance charges, please allow enough time to ensure postal delivery before payment due date.

Finance Payment Charges:

The College will assess a finance charge of 2% on any unpaid balance from a prior billing period (the time between statements).

Failure to pay:

The College may require immediate payment of the entire balance for failure to make timely payments including finance charges.

• The College will refer the account to an outside collection agency for failure to pay as agreed and may report the status of the account to a credit reporting agency.
• If the account has been referred to a collection agency and/or an attorney, collection, court and attorney costs will be added to the account. Accounts 91 days or older are referred to collection agencies and payments and questions must be referred to the collection agency.
• Enrollment for any future terms will be blocked.
• Purge advance registration for future term.
• Students no longer will be able to make payments to Lane for past-due accounts that have been assigned to a collection agency. Students wishing to pay off outstanding debts to Lane will be referred to the collection agency responsible for their account and will need to make payment in full to that agency.
• Students who have paid their accounts in full with the collection agency will not be able to register until Lane receives the funds from the collection agency and the Lane account balance has been completely cleared. Payments from collection agencies can take six weeks to reach Lane. The College has the right, without prior notice, to stop or suspend the extension of credit and to withhold services if the required minimum payments are not made on time. The withholding of services includes, but is not limited to, registration for classes and workshops and administrative withdrawal from classes, and transcripts.

The College may change the terms of the CreditLine Plan and Account Agreement and may change existing and future charges at any time. Notice will be made in advance, as required by law.

Advanced Registration Special Notice:

All students participating in advance registration must sign a statement to indicate that they understand that their bill must be paid in full by midnight, two days in advance of the opening of registration for continuing and returning students each term. The dates are provided on this signed document from Counseling and Advising. Failure to clear the balance in full by the established deadlines will mean that the student’s classes for the subsequent term will be purged, without advance notification.
