COTOP FAQs

Question: I just received a letter from LA Southwest College advising me of outstanding fees owed and that I had 30 days to pay the outstanding balance, or my account would be sent to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). Why did I get this letter?
Answer: The letter was to formally notify you of amounts owed to LACCD, and that LACCD is participating in the California Community Colleges, Chancellor's Office Tax Offset Program (COTOP). Past due accounts will be submitted by LACCD to COTOP for a tax offset. LACCD must send out a “due process” collection letter informing the debtor that an offset will occur unless payment is made or that information is received showing the debt to be in error. The letter is sent to the student’s last known address at least 30 days before the debtor data is submitted to the State Chancellor’s Office. This is to allow time to question the debt and/or pay the college before the tax offset process begins through the Franchise Tax Board.

All California community colleges have the same base enrollment/tuition fee per unit for both residents and non-residents.

Some students qualify for a fee waiver which is when the tuition fees are reduced or completely removed. To see if you qualify for a fee waiver, visit the Financial Aid Office to review all of LASC’s financial aid programs.

Our Student Information System will automatically generate student refunds, so there is no need for you to request a refund.

If your fees were paid with a credit card, your refund will be shown as a credit to the credit card you used to originally pay your fees. If you paid your fees with cash or a check, we will send you a check with your refund amount.

If you have any questions about your refund, please contact our Office at (323) 241-5301.

Q - Why do I have charges on my account since I am still in High School? How can I correct my record and how long will my profile be updated?
A - Students that are currently in high school and are attending LASC classes, need to submit a high school waiver form(K-12 form).
