Pursuant to Florida Statutes 1009.285 and Florida Statutes 1009.28, students attempting any college credit course for the third time will be charged 100% of the full cost of instruction for those courses. The full cost of instruction is equivalent to the fee for non-Florida residents.

An attempt is defined as any withdrawal (W), or failure (D, F, IF, or U) at LSSC.

Extenuating circumstances include:

• Prolonged disability of the student or a member of the student’s immediate family
• Death of a member of the student’s immediate family
• Documented learning disability
• English as a second language
• Unavoidable changes in conditions of employment
• Financial hardship includes but is not limited to qualification for federal financial aid. Students must provide documentation that reasonable effort has been made to successfully complete the course.
