Bursar's Office

   

Welcome to Baton Rouge Community College Bursar's Office

The Bursar's mission is to accurately administer, bill, and collect student accounts and disburse financial aid to support the educational and customer service mission of BRCC.

Tuition and Fees

Baton Rouge Community College's tuition and fees are among the most affordable in the state. All tuition and fees must be paid in full on or before the payment deadline listed in the Academic Calendar. Payments not received in the Bursar’s Office by specified due dates may result in students being purged from registered classes. A student is considered officially registered once tuition and fees are paid in full and all required admission documents have been submitted to the Office of Enrollment Services.

Online payments of tuition and fees can be made 24 hours a day/7 days a week through LOLA via credit card, debit card, or electronic check. Please note: The only form of in-person payments that are accepted at the bursar’s cashier windows are Cash, Check, Cashier’s Check, and Money Order. Credit card and debit card payments are not accepted at the bursar’s window. Computer terminals are available inside the Bienvenue Student Services Center to make online credit or debit card payments.
