Registration Restrictions

A registration restriction may be on a student account to restrict the adding or dropping of classes if a student is on a financial aid appeal, a TRIO member, an International student, a John A. Logan College Ambassador, Athlete, or Dual Credit/Early College student. If you believe you have a registration restriction on your account and would like to know more, please contact Admissions and Records at 618-985-2828 Ext. 8298.

The College will place a Bursar hold on a student’s account with an outstanding balance greater than $200 that will restrict registration for the following semester. The College will offer a payment plan option, not to exceed six months, for a student with a balance over $200. The Bursar Office must approve the plan and set up regular electronic payments from a bank account or credit card. If approved, the student will be allowed to register for the upcoming semester.

A student with a balance of $200 or less will be allowed to register for the upcoming semester by paying 50 percent of their balance or utilizing available Financial Aid. The past-due balance must be paid in full before the drop for non-payment date, or students must submit a financial aid form to have pending aid cover the past-due amount up to $200. The Bursar and Assistant Provost for Student Affairs (or their designee) are authorized to override low and high student account balance holds.
