Spring 2012 - Tuition is now due at the time of registration.

If you register prior to the tuition due date for each term, you must pay your tuition and fees by this date.  Consult your bill for specific information.  On-time payment will reserve your "seat" in your classes.  If we have not received your payment by the specified date, your registration will be cancelled.  You will then need to register again with payment due at the time of re-registration.

Tuition and fees can be paid by phone, in person, or online. In person or by phone, you may pay at the main campus in Springfield (first floor in Menard Hall) or any of our other LLCC locations, Litchfield, Jacksonville, Beardstown, or Taylorville. The main campus phone number is 217-786-2292. LLCC accepts VISA, MasterCard or Discover.
