In addition to the standard tuition and fees, the Heavy Equipment/Diesel Technology program also charges separate tools fees.
You will use Snap-on tools, supplied by LBCC at the Advanced Transportation Technology
Center (ATTC) during your training. All students entering the program will be assessed
a $1,500 tool fee per term during the first year of the program: three terms, for
a total of $4,500. Upon successful completion of all first-year program classes with
a grade of C or better, you will be awarded the Diesel Student Tool Set. While enrolled
in the LBCC Heavy Equipment/Diesel Technology program, you may purchase additional
Snap-on tools with a student discount through the Snap-On account representative for
the ATTC:
Students who fail or drop out of the program will be awarded a partial tool voucher
for each tool course fee that has been assessed and collected by LBCC. To qualify
for a partial tool voucher, you must make arrangements with the Diesel staff at the
ATTC within one term of taking your last Diesel class. In cases of extreme hardship,
a partial tool cash refund may be considered through a petition process initiated
by the Admissions Office.
