Estimate Tuition Cost

Planning for the cost of higher education is extremely important. Use the Tuition Cost Estimator tool to estimate the cost of tuition for this semester.

Course fees support costs unique to specific courses, beyond the standard cost of instruction and basic materials. Fees include a variety of consumable costs, specialized equipment, and technology dedicated to the associated course. Further, small group instruction is sometimes required by state or federal regulations, national accreditation mandates, or quality and safety standards, which all impact faculty-to-student ratios and overall program costs. These costs do not change because of distance learning.

Register for Class(es)

Many LCC courses are offered in a shorter timeframe than the traditional full-semester teaching period and provide the same amount of credit. See the list above for the various start and end dates of the teaching periods.

Students must be admitted to the College and complete the required steps prior to registering.

Students should determine that all the required course prerequisites have been met and seats are available.

Late Registration and Scheduling Adjustments

Late registration at LCC is allowed within the first calendar week or three (3) days of registration, depending on the parts of term.

• Late registration for Fall and Spring, parts of term: 16 week, 15 week, and 14 week; will be allowed within the first week (7 calendar days) of registration.
• Late registration for Fall and Spring, parts of term: 12 week, 12B week, 8A week, and 8B week; will be allowed within the first three days (3 calendar days) of registration.
• Late registration for Summer, for all parts of term, will be allowed within the first three days (3 calendar days) of registration.

Late registration is defined as adding a course for the current semester after the semester has begun. A schedule adjustment is defined as adding a course by a student with registration activity for the current semester. Adding an additional course, switching sections, and being reinstated into a section in which the student was previously registered, are all examples of schedule adjustments. Once the late registration period has ended, special circumstance may be considered after consultation with the instructor and the Academic Dean.

What is Registration Activity?

Examples of registration activity include:

• A student is registered in a section for the current semester
• A student dropped a section during the current semester
• A student was on a waitlist for a section during the current semester

Transfer Programs

For students following the Michigan Transfer Agreement, the requirements can be completed online.

Maximum Enrollment per Semester

Individual students will enroll in no more than 28 credits per semester. Students who wish to enroll in more than 28 credits per semester may request permission from the Dean or designee overseeing the academic program the student is following. The Dean or designee will make a decision which is based on the student’s academic and personal circumstances and which supports reasonable expectations for successful learning and course completion. In the case of any appeal, the final decision rests with the Academic Affairs Office.

Placement Levels

Most courses require basic skills proficiency levels which must be met prior to enrolling in courses that require specific placement levels. Students are strongly encouraged to establish their placement levels, complete orientation, and meet with an advisor prior to registration. Placement levels may be established through high school transcripts documenting required GPA or through ACT, SAT, CLEP, ASVAB, or GED test scores, or through placement testing. Levels may also be established through previously completed college coursework.
