Financial Aid Feature

Your Responsibilities With Financial Aid

Financial aid can be an amazing resource to help with the costs of attending college! This great opportunity does come with some responsibilities.

Here are some tips to help you navigate the world of financial aid and not be caught off guard by your tuition/fee/room/board costs!

Pay attention to communication from LCCC

We know - we send you a lot of stuff! But, we are sending you stuff that we know you need to know!
For financial aid information, be sure to keep an eye on you student email and the Self-Service app in myLCCC so that you know right away if there are any updates to your financial aid, or steps that you need to take.

Turn in required documents as soon as you can

Financial aid processing times can be anywhere from two to eight weeks, depending on the time of year, and the document or aid type. Plan ahead and turn in documents early to avoid the stress!

Advocate for yourself

Applying for and understanding financial aid can sometimes seem overwhelming, but that doesn't mean you have to be constantly confused!
Use your resources: the LCCC Financial Aid Video Library and the Federal Student Aid website are both great starting places to get some questions answered or learn more about the process.
Ask questions! The Student Hub is happy to answer your financial aid questions and help you understand!

Did you know?

When you register for classes at LCCC, you are consenting to the LCCC Statement of Financial Responsibility.

It's not a bad idea to read it so you know what you're agreeing to!

Ultimately, you are responsible for your balance with LCCC, so being on top of your financial aid information benefits YOU, if it helps you avoid paying large amounts out-of-pocket or being sent to collections.

Don't Delay Your Fall Registration!

Fall registration is happening now, and classes are filling up! Don't wait until the last-minute to register -- schedule your advising appointment today!

Plus, until July 31, when you schedule an on-campus advising appointment for Fall registration, you will get a FREE LCCC T-shirt!

Don't forget, you can now schedule your advising appointment online! Or, call Academic Advising at 307.778.1214.

2021-2022 Catalog Available

The catalog is where you will find academic requirements, information about school resources, policies/procedures, and more! The catalog provides a template of the courses required for all degrees at LCCC and course descriptions for all courses, so you can see exactly what classes you'll need to take and can be prepared to create your academic plan with your advisor!

You will follow the degree requirements for the catalog of the year you start at LCCC, and this "resets" if you take a break in enrollment. So, if you are starting new at LCCC, or returning after a one-semester or more absence, then your degree requirements are those in the 2021-2022 catalog! If you change your program of study during your time here, then your catalog year updates at that time as well.

The 2021-2022 LCCC catalog is conveniently available online so you can access it any time (along with previous years' catalogs)!
