Student Debts to the College Students are expected to clear their financial debts promptly. Students who owe LMC money for tuition or enrollment fees, overdue library books, returned checks, or other debts will not be allowed to use college services (such as registering for classes or processing graduation) until their debts are paid. If your debt remains unpaid, Los Medanos College may garnish your California State Tax Return through the State-mandated Chancellor’s Office Tax Offset Program (COTOP). In this instance, a 25% administrative fee will be added to your delinquent balance. This balance will be forwarded for collection to the State Franchise Tax Board (FTB). In the event you are owed a State tax refund, win a California Lottery prize, or have unclaimed property to be distributed to you by the State of California Controller’s Office for the upcoming tax year, California State Government Code sections 12419.2, 12419.7, 12419.10, and 12419.11 authorize the Office of the State Controller and the FTB to collect money owed to individuals and redirect these funds to pay the individual’s debt owed to the agencies/colleges. >>>> IMPORTANT NOTE <<<< You will NOT be automatically dropped from classes based on non-attendance or non-payment of fees. Failure to drop your course may result in a failing grade and a debt on your record. All outstanding debts must be paid in full. Unpaid debts will result in a registration and transcript hold on student records. Make the most of LMC's >>>>>>>><<<<<<<< Scholarship Program!
