College Catalog

Lansing Community College's catalog includes programs, student services, general regulations, policies and procedures. The publication describes all classes offered by the institution. LCC offers classes during the fall, spring and summer. We structure our courses to ensure each LCC student has a clear and timely path to graduation, and all required classes and electives are available to each student during their time at LCC.

Course Offering Formats

Spring 2021

Spring course offerings fit into five types.

ON - Online: Traditional, asynchronous online courses.
ORT - Partial Scheduled Lecture: An online real time (ORT) class that has some regularly scheduled online meeting day(s) and time(s) along with unscheduled online instruction and activities.
ORT - Full Scheduled Lecture: An online real time (ORT) class where all instruction is delivered online during designated meeting day(s) and times.
OH - Online Hybrid: A class that has some regularly scheduled classroom instruction along with online coursework and activities. Students will receive face-to-face instruction in the traditional classroom, lab, or worksite, and will also participate in online instruction/learning.
Face-to-Face: A traditional, in-person class with on-campus instruction.

A majority of the course offerings will fit in the first three categories. The hybrid and face-to-face sections are concentrated in programs that cannot effectively be taught in a virtual setting, primarily in Technical Careers and Health and Human Services. Limits on hybrid and face-to-face sections are critical to ensure the college community can continue to maintain physical distancing requirements even as we begin to offer face-to-face instruction.

Student and academic services will continue to be offered remotely during the spring.

LCC remains in close communication with our local health departments, and the college will continue to adjust its plans as needed to protect the health and safety of our students, employees and community.

Please note: All course fees, approved by the LCC Board of Trustees, remain unchanged. In April 2020, the LCC Board of Trustees did approve permanently eliminating the $25 online virtual fee. You will no longer see that fee on your bill.
