Enrollment Information
Enrollment Criteria
Parents may arrange child care hours to accommodate class, study, and work schedules. Your child is eligible for child care through Lindgren if:
- You are an undergraduate student taking three or more credits per semester or summer session
- You are a graduate student taking three or more credits per semester or summer session
- You are a student who leaves school to work for the summer but met the eligibility requirements during the spring semester and will meet them during the fall semester
- You or a supporting parent are employed at St. Cloud State with faculty or staff status
Note: Priority is given to students with low financial status, parents who parent alone, and to veterans.
Financial Assistance
The cost of Lindgren’s child care services is generally less than it would be at a comparable center in the St. Cloud area. In addition, there are a few options to help low-income students afford child care at Lindgren.
- The Postsecondary Child Care Grant Program helps low-income students with young children pay for child care while the student attends classes
- Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) supports low-income parents in postsecondary education through campus-based child care services
Payment FAQ
How Does the Billing Process Work?
Due to changes in our business office policy, Lindgren has changed the way charges are placed on student accounts. Check out our newly updated fee procedure in the parent handbook. Highlights from the new policy are bulleted below:
- Each student’s full semester’s charges will be calculated and entered into their student account prior to the 5th day of class
- All scholarships will automatically apply to these charges along with other unexpended aid
- Charges not covered by scholarship or financial aid will remain on the account until paid without accruing late charges or causing a hold to be placed on the account until the end of the semester
- If the charges are not fully paid by the end of the semester, the normal late fee and hold policy will be implemented
- Charges for children receiving a Pathway I scholarship will not be placed on an account but billed separately
