About Constitution Day
To encourage all Americans to learn more about the Constitution, Congress in 1956 established Constitution Week, to begin each year on September 17th, the date in 1787 when delegates to the Convention signed the Constitution. In 2004, Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia included key provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2005 designating September 17th of each year as Constitution Day and requiring public schools and governmental offices to provide educational programs to promote a better understanding of the Constitution.
On May 24, 2005, the U.S. Department of Education released a Notice of Implementation, announcing that all educational institutions receiving federal funding must provide an educational program pertaining to the United States Constitution on September 17 of each year commemorating the September 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution. However, when September 17 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, Constitution Day shall be held during the preceding or following week. Students and classes are encouraged to participate in the events scheduled for Constitution Day.

- Tuition/Fees
- Books and Supplies
- Room and Board
- Transportation
- Personal/Miscellaneous
Additionally, there is a component for child care for those students who have dependent children in need of care. Documentation is required.
The cost of attending NLTCC varies depending upon a student’s enrollment status (full-time, part-time, half-time, etc…) NLTCC estimated costs for full-time students for the academic year are found on the cost of attendance spreadsheet.
The total award package must not exceed the cost of attendance budget.
Note:
NLTCC adopts the Louisiana Association of Financial Aid Administrators (LASFAA) averages and estimated cost for students in the State of Louisiana.
LASFAA adopts these standard budgets and recommends their use by all undergraduate and proprietary schools. As always, Financial Aid Administrators may make adjustments to the Cost of Attendance to allow for treatment of students with special circumstances, including dependent care.

In compliance with the disclosure requirements under the HEA and HEOA, we are advising all currently enrolled students of the federal student financial aid penalties for drug law violations. If you are convicted of any offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs while you are enrolled at NLTCC and receiving financial aid under Title IV, HEA program funds, such a conviction will result in the loss of your eligibility for Title IV (Pell Grant) and work-study assistance (FWS). If the offense occurred outside of an enrollment period, the student is eligible to receive funding.
When completing the Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Free Application, students self-certify and respond to questions regarding drug convictions. Should a conviction occur after a student has submitted the FAFSA, the student must immediately notify Student Financial Services. A conviction denotes a conviction that is on a student’s record. A conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student’s record is not relevant for these purposes. In addition, it is not a determination or adjudication arising out of a juvenile proceeding.
An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by section 102(6) of the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) (Title 21 of the United States Code section 802), and does not include alcohol or tobacco.
| Possession of Illegal Drugs | Period of Ineligibility |
|---|---|
| First Offense | Ineligible for one year after date of conviction |
| Second Offense | Ineligible for two years after date of conviction |
| Third Offense | Ineligible indefinitely after date of conviction |
| Sale of Illegal Drugs | Period of Ineligibility |
|---|---|
| First Offense | Ineligible for two years after date of conviction |
| Second Offense | Ineligible indefinitely after date of conviction |

Federal Pell Grant – Students who are eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant will have a lifetime limit of 12 full-time semesters or six full years of eligibility. This policy is retroactive to whenever a student first received a Federal Pell grant and includes payments received at colleges or universities that the student had attended prior to NLTCC.
NLTCC is prohibited under federal regulations from making any false, erroneous, or misleading statement directly or indirectly to a student, prospective student, member of the public, accrediting agency, state agency, or to the Department of Education. Misleading statement includes any statement that has the likelihood or tendency to deceive or confuse. A statement is any communication made in writing, visually, orally, or through other means. This includes student testimonials given under duress or because such testimonial was required to participate in a program. Federal regulations further provide that substantial misrepresentation is any misrepresentation on which the person to whom it was made could reasonably be expected to rely, or has reasonably relied, to that person’s detriment. The regulations regarding misrepresentation describe misrepresentation with respect to:
- Nature of the education program
- Nature of financial charges
- Employability of graduate
- Relationship with the Department of Education. A Title IV eligible school may not describe its participation in a way that suggests approval or endorsement by the Department of Education of the quality of its educational programs.
Any violation of this directive will be taken seriously and the College will ensure that it is not repeated. View the Misrepresentation Policy here.
The Net Price Calculator is a tool to help you identify your total cost of attending NLTCC.

This calculator allows students to calculate an estimated net price of attendance (defined as cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships) based on what similar NLTCC students paid in the previously.
Enrollment, Diversity, Graduation, Retention data is can be found on the college navigator.
Refund Policy
A student who resigns from the College may be entitled to some refund of tuition, and certain fees. The amount of the refund, if any, will depend upon the amounts paid by the student and the date of withdrawal. Refunds are automatically generated by the college; therefore, the student is not required to request a refund. NLTCC Policy 5.022
- Refunds may be subject to an administrative fee of $15 per refund transaction (regardless of the number of credit hours dropped or upon withdrawal from the college).
- Refunds, when due, will be made within 30 days of (1) the withdrawal date as documented on the Drop/Add/Reinstatement form or (2) the date the institution determines the student has withdrawn.
- If the College cancels a class, then 100% of all tuition and fees paid will be refunded and an administrative fee will not be assessed.
Refund of tuition and fees for the fall, spring, and summer semesters is made on the following basis upon a reduction in credit hours or official withdrawal from the College:
- Up to the 1st 5 days of each part of term: 100% of tuition and fees.
- On or beyond the 6th day after the part of term begins, no refund will be given.
Tuition, fees, and other charges relating to Continuing Education and Business and Industry Training are not refundable unless the training course is canceled by the College.
Pursuant to the Louisiana Community and Technical College System Policy #5.007, a formal appeals process shall be in place for hearing complaints due to denial of all or part of a student’s refund.
NOTE: In accordance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act Amendments, refunds of tuition and fees for Pell Grant recipients shall be made to the Pell Grant program and not to the student.
NLTCC uses the “Return of Title IV Funds Policy” in accordance with the 2008 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
- Return of Title IV Aid – The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 established the concept that financial aid must be earned through class attendance. When you totally withdraw from all classes, The Financial Aid Office must calculate the amount of financial aid you have earned prior to withdrawing. Any Title IV aid received in excess of the earned amount is considered unearned. Unearned aid must be returned to the respective Federal Aid program(s).
- Return of Aid Programs – Unearned aid amounts are to be returned to Title IV financial aid programs: Federal Pell Grant Program. Any amount remaining after the applicable programs have been fully repaid is returned to the student. A 100% credit for the term affected will be given in the event of the student’s death. The Return of Title IV Aid calculation will be based on the official notification of the date of death.
- Earned Aid – A student has not earned 100% of their financial aid until s/he has attended more than 60% of the term. If a financial aid recipient totally withdraws on or before the 60% point of the term, there is a portion of the aid that has not been earned. The percentage of earned aid is determined by taking the number of days attended divided by the total number of days in the term. For example:
Please NOTE: We will adjust your financial aid awards according to the last date you attended class, not the day you withdraw.
- Days Student Attended Prior to Withdrawing 37
- Divided by Total Days in the Semester 100
- Equals Percentage of Earned Aid 37%
Unearned Aid – The percentage of unearned aid is calculated by subtracting the earned percentage from 100%. The unearned aid in the previous example is determined by the following formula:
- 100% Aid Percentage 100%
- Minus Percentage of Earned Aid 37%
- Equals Percentage of Unearned Aid 63%
Return of Unearned Aid Amount – Once the earned and unearned aid percentages are determined, the next step is to calculate the dollar amount of total unearned aid that must be returned. The Return of Unearned Aid Amount is determined by multiplying the unearned aid percentage by the total of all Title IV aid disbursed or eligible to be disbursed. The unearned aid percentage of 63% would be multiplied by the student’s total aid disbursed:
- Percentage of Unearned Aid 63%
- Multiplied by Total Aid Received(*example) *$2,345.00
- Equals Unearned Aid Amount $1,477.35
Return of Fees – The unearned aid portion is repaid by both the student and the school. The school can use any fee adjustment refund generated by the withdrawal to pay the portion it owes back. However, depending on the time of withdrawal, the student may also be responsible for repaying a portion of his/her fees that had been previously paid by the financial aid. In almost every instance, the fee refund will be less than the total Return of Unearned Aid Amount. As a result, when a student withdraws, a balance will be created for the difference between the fee refund and the Return of Unearned Aid Amount. The student is responsible for paying this balance. Keeping with the above example, after a student completes 37 days of the term, s/he is eligible for a 25% fee refund per the Account Receivable’s Office published calendar. This means 25% of the student’s fees are credited to the student’s account, which can affect the student’s portion of aid owed back to the College:
- Unearned Aid Amount $1477.35
- Minus 25% Fee Refund (*example) *$586.30
- Equals Difference on Account $891.05
Post-Withdrawal Disbursements – If a student totally withdraws from a semester and receives less federal aid than the amount earned, then the student may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. The student must have met all of the conditions for a late disbursement prior to withdrawing. Grant funds will automatically be applied towards outstanding charges created by the withdrawal.
Dropping All Classes – To avoid financial penalties and aid adjustments, make sure you drop all classes prior to the beginning of the semester. If you drop all classes prior to the start of the semester, you will not be considered a student for that semester and, thus, not entitled to receive any form of financial aid. Your aid will be cancelled and returned to the appropriate program(s). If you drop all your classes close to the beginning of the semester, and you have already received financial aid, you will be required to repay the entire amount of aid disbursed to you. Once the semester starts on the first day, you have begun to earn aid and a Return of Title IV Aid calculation must be completed.
Failing ALL Classes – If you fail all of your classes in a semester, you may be subject to a Return of Title IV Aid calculation. If you have “earned” at least one of your “F”s (i.e., attended class for at least one course until the end of the term and received an F for poor performance), then no calculation is required. However, if you received all Fs because you stopped attending or never attended courses prior to the 60% point in the semester, then a Return of Title IV Aid calculation is required. This is considered an unofficial withdrawal and the 50% point of the semester will be used as the withdrawal date. An account balance will be created if the calculation results in the return of financial aid.
Future Aid Eligibility – Withdrawing may affect your eligibility to receive financial aid in subsequent terms. Upon withdrawal, you should notify the Student Financial Aid Office when you plan to return so we can make necessary adjustments to your financial aid
