Louisiana Tech Faculty/Student ID Cards (Tech Express Cards) and Parking Passes

Complimentary ID cards and parking passes are provided for all dual enrollment students. The ID cards allow access to Tech’s Library, entrance into athletic events free of charge, and access to the Lambright sports complex. Parking passes allow students to park in student parking areas. Obtaining these requires an in-person visit to the campus.

Student Tuition and Other Expenses

  1. Application Fee - all students are required to pay an annual $20 application fee. Seniors are not required to pay a second application fee for admission to the University for their freshman year.
  2. Tuition for Public High School Students - funding will be provided by the State of Louisiana for up to two courses per year, per student. Louisiana Tech will fund an additional two courses per year, per student. Students who choose to enroll in more than four courses (more than 12 credit hours) will be charged the discounted rate of $125 for each additional three credit hour course above 12 credit hours. If your high school is partnering with more than one college/university, and Louisiana Tech cannot bill the State for a student’s tuition, the student will be charged the discounted rate of $125 per three-credit hour course.
  3. Tuition for Private and Home-Schooled Students - a discounted rate of $125 per three-credit hour course will be charged for 2011-2012.
  4. Text materials - students are required to use the same textbooks, course materials, and supplies as regular university students. Public high schools have been providing these items for their students. Private, parochial, and home-schooled students will need to consider how these items will be obtained.

High School Seniors

High school seniors who participate in Louisiana Tech’s dual enrollment program will not be required to submit a separate application for admission as a first-time college freshman. The application that seniors complete for dual enrollment will also serve as their freshman application for admission and scholarships at Louisiana Tech University.
