Choosing a Catalog Year
A pathway is a guide to help you meet all of the requirements for your major, including completing the required courses in the most efficient order. While most LCC pathways remain active and applicable for five years, several are effective for one, two, or three years. The effective dates are listed on each individual pathway. The catalog year is the first year of those effective dates.
If your first semester of enrollment as shown on your LCC web transcript is in the academic year 2026-2027, please refer to the pathways listed below for catalog year 2026-2027.
If you first enrolled in courses prior to the 2026-2027 academic year (as indicated on your web transcript), you may select pathways available in the catalog year you began, as well as those available after that year.
Unsure what major to declare and pathway to follow? Reach out to an Academic Advisor for assistance.
Note: Students are expected to ensure both their major and the catalog year are always accurate in Banner Self Service. If the major you are following has changed, or if the catalog year is no longer valid because the effective dates have passed, your record must be updated by submitting a Major and Catalog Year Update Request form via the Registrar Forms webpage.
Before declaring a degree or certificate program:
- Contact the Academic Advising Department.
- For degrees, visit the General Education webpage to review the General Education requirements for your major.
CATALOG YEARS
LCC makes every effort to limit revisions to the pathways during their effective timeframe. However, the College reserves the right to update certificate and degree titles, and make course changes as needed, without prior notice. The College also reserves the right to discontinue majors when warranted.
Graduation
File an application for graduation with the Registrar's Office by the deadline for the semester you plan to graduate.
