Lake-Sumter State College is providing public notification of proposed changes in student course and laboratory fees for the 2024-2025 academic year. 

In accordance with Florida Statutes 1009.23, LSSC is notifying the community of proposed changes in institutional student fees before their consideration at the District Board of Trustees of Lake-Sumter State College meeting on June 19. 

Each year, LSSC reviews its student fees to ensure that these fees cover the true costs and do not exceed the cost of the services provided. Fees are then adjusted for the current costs related to the course or service.  

Details on changes to course-specific fees can be found online at www.lssc.edu/tuition/. No increases in the tuition rates are proposed, although there are proposed fee increases in the art, biology, graphic design, nursing and physical science areas. There is an increase in cost for the HESI test and return check fees, as well. 

There are some proposed fee reductions for biology, chemistry, nursing and physical science.
