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.

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 will prevent students from registering. Holds may be placed on student enrollment for reasons such as outstanding financial obligations, overdue library items, or an incorrect address. Students should satisfy their holds prior to registration in order to save time during the busy enrollment periods.

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. 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.

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. More information

State and Federal Law Protects the Privacy of Your Records

Providing 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:

• Determine or verify eligibility for services, certify attendance, and report student status
• Maintain LCC databases and/or other financial aid programs
• Tax reporting purposes

Students will be assigned an ID number which they will need to access LCC records about themselves or to obtain services. Please read the statement under student identification cards, which describes how student ID cards are to 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.

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.

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, Lansing Community College provides the following information:

1. Students and/or a parent of a student, if the student is a dependent, have the right to access, inspect, and review all educational records directly related to the student. Upon presentation of pictured identification and a written request from the student to the Enrollment Services/Registrar's Office in Room 203 of the Gannon Building, access to all educational records shall be provided within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 45 days from the date the request is submitted).
