Student Account Policies

Validation/Clearing Process

For tuition and fees information consult the current Lyon College Catalog.

Student tuition and fees are due at the beginning of each semester before completion of registration and admission to classes. A detail bill is mailed approximately one to two months before the beginning of each semester. Students may pay semester charges in one of two ways discussed below.

All students must clear the business office. This means your account must be paid in full or set up on a payment plan via Nelnet. If students are not cleared by the deadline, a $25 late registration fee will be added to the bill.

Students may clear their accounts with the Business Office any time after they have received their billings for the following semester. The on-campus validation process for registration will start the day the student moves into the dorm, if the student is residential. The on campus validation process for non-residential students will be the day before classes begin.

If the student's account is not cleared by 4:30 pm on the second day of classes, the student will be removed from the meal plan and will not be allowed to eat in the college dining hall.

If the student’s account is not cleared by 4:30 pm on the fourth day of classes, the student will be removed from the class lists and will no longer be enrolled in any classes at Lyon College.

Payment Options

There are two payment options offered at Lyon College:

1. Lyon College is pleased to announce that it is partnering with Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) to offer payment plans to students for tuition and fees. These payment plans make paying for your education more affordable as they offer you the opportunity to spread payments over time. These plans are interest free; however, there is a $30 per semester administrative fee payable to Nelnet. Several plans are available so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
