Important Emails Coming Your Way

Don't forget to check your student email regularly, Cougars! With the end of the spring semester fast approaching, there are great enrollment opportunities coming your way for the summer and fall.

Use Pell Grants for Summer Courses

As you're thinking about summer plans, make sure you keep LCCC summer classes at the top of your list. You can stay on track to achieving your goals or get a head start to your degree.


Also, did you know that if you qualify for a Pell grant, you could use those dollars for summer courses? Pell grants are free money that you do not need to pay back.


Full-time students must enroll in at least six credits to be eligible to use their Pell grant. Part-time students can also use Pell dollars.


Five- and ten-week summer sessions begin on Monday, May 20, with an additional five-week session starting on Monday, July 8. Register for classes through the LCCC portal or schedule an appointment with an advisor via the online scheduler.


The website has more information on summer sessions. Check your LCCC student email for important end-of-semester updates. If you have questions about Pell grants or financial aid, contact the Financial Aid Office at 610-799-1133 or finaid@mymail.lccc.edu.

Fall Course Registration is Open!

Registration for fall 2024 is now open for all students. Get the classes you need as soon as possible! The course schedule for the fall 2024 semester has been posted to the college website and can be viewed here. Should you need assistance in choosing classes, please reach out to your Academic Advisor, adviseme@lccc.edu or 610-799-1137.

Preferred/Chosen First Name and Pronouns

Students can change their preferred name in Self-Service BannerWeb. Detailed instructions are available on the IT Knowledgebase. Changes will be reflected across LCCC systems within 48 hours.
