Installment Plans
Lewis and Clark offers an Installment Plan option for qualifying credit students in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
If you are receiving Financial Aid for a portion of your tuition and fees, you may qualify for an Installment Plan for charges that are not covered by your Financial Aid package. Please call the Bursar's Office to discuss your options. Students in this situation must set up their Installment Plan in person at the Godfrey Campus.
How To Qualify
- Students must be at least 18 years of age with a valid photo ID. Minor students may qualify for an Installment Plan co-signed by their legal guardian with a valid photo ID.
- Your qualifying*** tuition and fees must equal $500 or more.
Textbooks, Digital Material charges and classroom supplies may not be charged to the plan. You must pay Digital Material fees AFTER setting up your Installment Plan and making your first payment to avoid being dropped from classes.
***To see if your class includes non-qualifying Digital Material charges, search for your section in Student Planner and click the link. The Section Details screen will list any additional fees specific to the course and section.
If a student is awarded Financial Aid after setting up an Installment Plan, the payments must still be made as scheduled until the funds are officially transmitted and applied to the student account. Failure to pay as scheduled may jeopardize your ability to create future installment arrangements.
How To Set Up an Installment Plan on BlazerNet
Installment Plans may be set up online on BlazerNet.
- Log in with your BlazerNet ID and password.
- Select “Students” and then select “Create an Installment Plan” and follow the prompts.
- Print a copy of your Installment Plan agreement for your records. A copy will also be sent to your lc.edu email inbox.

- Make a required initial down payment, including a $15 non-refundable service fee plus 1/3 of the tuition (per credit hour fees & lab fee charges, which are rounded up to the closest dollar).
- Make two more payments as scheduled**** to complete the total tuition and fee balance.
****Failure to pay as scheduled may jeopardize your ability to create future installment arrangements.
