Lake-Sumter State College is providing public notification of proposed changes in student fees, including course and laboratory fees, for the 2026 – 2027 academic year.
In accordance with Florida Statutes 1009.23(20), Lake-Sumter State College is notifying the community of these proposed changes in institutional student fees before their consideration by the District Board of Trustees of Lake-Sumter State College on April 15, 2026.
If approved, these fees will take effect for the Fall 2026 semester.
Each year, Lake-Sumter State College reviews its student fees to ensure that these fees cover the true costs but do not exceed the cost of the services provided.
