Appeals submitted after the priority deadline will be reviewed after Census Day. Students who submit a late appeal must register for classes on their own and pay their balance, since approval is not guaranteed.

FAFSA applications and verification documents received after the priority date or incomplete files will not be considered priority applications and payment arrangements must be made to secure classes before the payment deadline. If you meet the priority date and it is determined that you are eligible to receive aid, an award will be available for review via LOLA (https://my.lctcs.edu/cp/home/displaylogin).
