"When Will I Get My Financial Aid?" | |
As the semester approaches, it's important for you to understand the process of when/how your financial aid will reach LCCC and you! | |
|
Accepting Aid: Once your FAFSA and any required documents are received, LCCC will process these and make you a financial aid award. You can view, accept, or reject your award on the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.
| |
|
Charging Books: If you have accepted your financial aid, and you are receiving more financial aid than the total cost of your tuition, fees, room, & board, you can charge your textbooks to your financial aid refund in the LCCC Bookstore. For this to work, your aid must be fully awarded/accepted, and you must have completed any requirements (such as student loan Master Promissory Note/Entrance Counseling).
| |
First Disbursement: After the semester has started and the drop deadline has passed, the first financial aid disbursement will occur. The first disbursement for Fall 2021 is scheduled for September 7. On this date, LCCC will apply your financial aid funds to your balance that you owe.
| |
|
First Refunds: After your balance has been paid with your accepted financial aid, you will be issued a refund for any financial aid funds remaining. The first refund date for Fall 2021 is September 10. Refund checks are mailed to the current/preferred mailing address that LCCC has on file for you. For faster receipt of your refund, you can opt to receive your refund via Direct Deposit instead by entering your banking information in the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.
| |
|
Disbursement/refunds are ongoing throughout the semester. If you have financial aid awards that come in later, are a first-time loan borrower with a 30-day delay on your loan, or have later starting classes, you may have later or additional disbursements and refunds of your financial aid funding.
| |
LCCC Fall 2021 COVID-19 Emergency Grant | |
|
The LCCC COVID-19 Fall 2021 Emergency Grant is provided by the U.S. Government to give economic relief to students that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that students can continue their education.
Degree-seeking students enrolled in Fall 2021 classes at LCCC will be able to apply for this grant funding starting on August 23, 2021. You will receive an email on that date with application details!
| |
Viewing Your Class Schedule & Enrollment Information | |
You can view your Fall 2021 schedule, including class locations, days, and times, and the dates of your classes in Navigate.
Look carefully! Not all classes start or end with the full semester dates - you might be enrolled in short courses that start later, or end earlier.
| |
Your classes will show up in Canvas sometime on the first day of the semester.
They might show up first thing in the morning, or later in the day, depending on your instructor. If you don't see your classes in Canvas right away on the first day, but they are on your schedule in Navigate, then don't panic - you are still registered, they just aren't published to your Canvas yet!
| | |
Feeling Lost?
If you're not sure where your classes are, you're not alone!
You can access a campus map to find the buildings your classes may be located in.
| |
|
Do you need proof of your enrollment and credits for insurance?
You may need to obtain an Enrollment Verification. You can access a ready-to-print Enrollment Verification from the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account after the semester has begun.
If you need an Enrollment Verification before that, you can request one by email from the Student Hub (StudentHub@lccc.wy.edu) using your student email address.
| |
|
|
Still scrambling for a place to live?
There is space available in the Residence Halls at the LCCC Cheyenne campus! You can apply for a space in the Residence Hall using the Student Housing app in your myLCCC account.
| |
|
LCCC Dining Services is excited to welcome students back for the Fall 2021 semester!
Check out the GET App on your mobile device or on the web for easy access to your meal plan, account balance, adding funds, and more!

LCCC President, Dr. Joe Schaffer, has announced a "Month of Masks": Aug. 16-Sept. 17.:
"Although the state, county, nor LCCC will be mandating face coverings on campus, I am asking all of the LCCC campus community to participate in a “Month of Masks” starting on Monday, August 16th through Friday, September 17th. If we all commit to wearing face coverings for a month, we can minimize the chance of spread associated with large summer events, travel and vacation activities or because of the Delta variant. At the end of the month we’ll assess things and move back to dropping our masks altogether!
Of course, face coverings will be encouraged and supported for anyone who wishes to use this additional layer of protection throughout the school year, especially when we cannot socially distance. For one month though, I would ask that you join me and put on a mask whenever you can, but especially when social distancing isn’t possible."
