New, Current and Returning Students
All registration for new, current or returning students should be
done via the World Wide Web. To Web register, go to
www.lcc.edu/registration, and follow the instructions. Before registering, see
the
Counseling and Advising section for important information.
Students needing assistance in registering for a TUID (User ID) or
accessing their account on the Web should contact the LCC Help Desk
at (517) 483-5221 or at
lcc1@lcc.edu.
Courses Needing Pre-approval
Students enrolling in classes requiring course approval must obtain
permission from the instructor and/or department prior to
registration. Courses requiring approval are noted in the course
listings.
Prerequisites
Course prerequisites could include any one or more of the following: completion of other courses with a minimum grade; reading, writing, and/or math levels; other placement tests and/or requirements; curriculum restrictions; co-requisite courses (which must be taken with the course); and/or department approvals. Be sure to check the requirements for the course before registration. Students can find out if they meet required skill levels by taking placement tests. Students who do not meet the indicated course prerequisites will be unable to complete the registration process. Students who have met the requirements for the course through other methods such as transfer courses and/or experience should contact the department offering the course or submit a waiver request form. For a copy of this form or more information about waiver guidelines, visit www.lcc.edu/advising/waivers.aspx. Waiver requests require one to three business days to process. See the Course Descriptions for department office locations and phone numbers.
Registration Holds
Registration holds will prevent students from registering. Holds may be placed on student enrollment for reasons such as outstanding financial obligations or overdue library items. Students should satisfy their holds prior to registration in order to save time during the busy enrollment periods.
Registrar/Student Records
To get information on transcripts, registration, graduation or residency call Enrollment Services, (517) 483-1200, option 1, stop by room 203, Gannon Building or online at www.lcc.edu/enrollment.
Auditing Classes
A class taken as an audit results in no grade or credit for the
student and is usually taken for purposes of self-improvement or
general interest. Students wishing to audit must meet all
prerequisites required for the course and indicate their intention
to audit at the time they register for the course. Audited courses
cannot be applied toward a degree or certificate and cannot be used
to meet prerequisites.
The college allows students to change from credit to audit or from
audit to credit by the end of the second week of classes (and other
equivalent dates as specified for variable length courses). Students
electing to change from audit to credit are responsible for having
course work up-to-date at the time the change is made and must have
instructor approval after the second week of the semester. Changes
from credit to audit through the end of the second week for 16-week
courses (and other equivalent dates as specified for variable length
courses) do not require instructor approval. Students should
be aware that exercising this option may have an impact on their
financial assistance or on student employment at the college. Any
student balance due created by a change in credit or audit status
must be paid by the student. Changes in audit or credit
status must be requested by the student through Enrollment
Services/Office of the Registrar.
Student Identification Cards (StarCard)
New students enrolling at LCC should have their identification
pictures taken for their StarCard at the time of registration. The
StarCard serves as a student photo ID card, parking card, LCC
Library card, and computer lab access card.
How do students get a StarCard?
Students must be currently registered for classes before receiving a
StarCard. Please bring a picture ID (driver's license, passport) for
identification verification, a copy of your class schedule, along
with your student number and Technology User ID (TUID) to assist in
speedy issuing of your StarCard.
The fee to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged StarCard is $15.
StarCards used for paid parking, which have insufficient funds, will
be confiscated. There is a re-issue fee for confiscated StarCards.
Parking (StarCard)
Parking and ID Services provides assistance with parking options.
Simply stop by Parking and ID Services in the Gannon Building, Room
215.

7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or visit:

State and Federal Law Protects the Privacy of Your RecordsProviding your Social Security number is voluntary. It will be used for keeping records, doing research, and reporting purposes. If you choose not to use your Social Security number, you will not be denied admission to the college. However, you may be denied certain services such as access to some financial assistance and tax reporting. The number may be used for the following:
You will be assigned an ID number which you will need to access LCC records about you or to obtain services. Please read the statement under student identification cards, which describes how your card will be used. LCC complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 which regulates the release of Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information from educational records. |
Drop for Nonpayment
Students are responsible for dropping all courses they are not planning to attend, and are responsible for payment of classes in which they are enrolled. Students should not assume they will be dropped from a class or classes for nonpayment, as there are many factors which will determine whether and when a student is dropped for nonpayment. It is the student's responsibility to verify his or her enrollment status. To verify enrollment status, students can view their schedule on the LCC Web site (www.lcc.edu).
Proof of Residency
Lansing Community College verifies the residence of each student each semester by mailings sent to the current address the student has on file with the college. Residency status may be adjusted for those students whose mail is returned to the college from their current address on file. Students are responsible for knowing and understanding their residency status and must provide proof of residency if petitioning for a change of residency. Lansing Community College reserves the right to make the final decision on residency eligibility.
Residency is based on where a student has resided for the six months immediately prior to the first day of the semester of enrollment. One or more of the following documents may be required as proof of residency:
-
Current Michigan driver's license or State identification card issued not less than six months prior to the first day of the semester in which residency is being sought
-
Paid current year property tax receipt indicating LCC assessment. The receipt must include the name of the student (or parent if the student is a dependent as defined by IRS code) as the property owner.
-
Current rental or lease agreement indicating six months residency immediately prior to the first day of the semester in which residency is sought. The lease or rental agreement must include: the date the lease or rental agreement was executed, the beginning and ending dates of the current lease or rental agreement, the landlord or property manager's name, address and phone number; and the student's (or parent of dependent student) name and signature.
-
Utility bills with the student's (or parent of dependent student) name and address for each of the six months prior to the first day of the semester
If a change of residency status is approved by the published deadline date each semester and the student is eligible for a refund, the difference between the previous residency status and the new residency status shall be refunded. No Petition for Change of Residency Forms will be considered after the published deadline date.
It is a violation of College policy to present false documentation. Registrar staff may verify the validity of the documents presented as proof of residency. Lansing Community College reserves the right to make the final decision on residency eligibility.
