FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing a FAFSA is the first step to apply for any financial aid as you get started at LCCC!

The 2024-2025 FAFSA is now available at

StudentAid.gov/FAFSA.


Complete this FAFSA if you plan to attend school during the 2024-2025 academic year - this includes Spring 2025 and Summer 2025. This FAFSA will use your financial information from 2022 (as well as your parent(s)' financial information from 2022 if you are considered a dependent student).

Remember to check your student email and the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account for information or updates about your financial aid.

If you have questions, we are here to help!

Registration Tip: Section Numbers


Do you know the difference between course numbers and section numbers?


A department/course number identifies the course content and competencies.

A section number distinguishes the actual instance of the class, because there are usually multiple options for class days, times, or modalities (i.e., whether the class is online or in-person).


For example, if you are registered for ENGL 1010 105:

  • ENGL 1010 is the department/course number which determines the actual class content and competencies.
  • 105 is the section number which indicates your specific class day, time, instructor, dates, and modality.


You will register for a specific section of each of your courses, and it is helpful for you to know what sections you are in.


Section numbers can even be helpful to you in determining what courses you want to take – maybe you are looking for all online courses, needing a late-starting class, or wanting to take a HyFlex format course.


Here’s a quick guide to some of LCCC’s section numbering:

  • 100-199: Cheyenne campus, full-semester, daytime sections
  • 200-219: Cheyenne campus, full-semester, evening sections
  • 260-279 and 340-349: HyFlex offerings
  • 300-399: Laramie Campus sections
  • 500-519: Online Anytime (Asynchronous)
  • 520-539: Online on a Schedule (Synchronous)
  • 540-569: Hybrid (Part Online, Part In-Person)


If you show up to class on the first day and there’s a sign on the door about a room or date change, pay attention to the section number on the sign, and know your own section numbers (they show up on your schedule in Navigate) so you can keep track of your specific classes!
