Early registrants must start the installment option by the first payment due date. Being approved for a payment plan will not prevent you from being dropped from all classes if such plan is not exercised by the early registration payment and fees deadline. Remaining payments are due by the sixth and eleventh weeks of the semester.

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Credit card payments can be made over the phone by calling 281.591.6625 or any Lone Star College System business office. Most colleges have boxes where you can leave payment. Current students can pay online via My Records.

The following regulations apply for paying by check:

• $30 returned check fee
• If your check is returned, you must pay your tuition promptly or it can be canceled, your registration canceled and your records withheld.
• No postdated checks will be accepted.
• No checks will be accepted for a sum larger than the amount of the transaction.
