Starting Oct. 12, LCC’s mascot is taking on a new role as official college chatbot.

All new students and all Nursing students will receive a text from Lance the chatbot on Monday, Oct. 12. The bot can connect you with LCC resources and remind you of upcoming dates, like the start of spring semester registration and payment deadlines. Lance is interactive, available 24/7 and uses AI to help you.

Please note: Our StarZone is still the best place for important questions, like which courses to take and how your financial aid can help you pay for school. Staff are available 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Drop in to the Gannon Building, call 517-483-1200 or email lcc-starzone@star.lcc.edu.

If you’re not interested in talking to Lance, text STOP anytime to opt out. If you don’t opt out, you can expect to hear from the chatbot every 7-10 days throughout the semester.

Ready to get started? Respond to Lance’s first text on Oct. 12.
