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 10-week summer sessions began on May 20, but an additional five-week session starts 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.

Preferred/Chosen First Name and Pronouns
LCCC recognizes that students may use first names other than their legal first names to identify themselves. Please note that the use of a preferred first name does not change the legal name on LCCC records.
A preferred/chosen first name is the name a person prefers or chooses to be known by and have in LCCC’s systems and when conducting day-to-day business. The preferred/chosen first name does not affect the individual’s last name.
The preferred/chosen first name will be used in college-related systems (i.e. Banner, Canvas, and DegreeWorks) and documents as well as email communications, interactions and any processes in which names are used to address individuals, except when the use of legal names is required by law or LCCC’s rules, policies, and regulations.
To request the use of a preferred first name:
- Students can change their preferred first name in Self-Service BannerWeb on the MyLCCC Portal. Detailed instructions are available in the IT Knowledgebase.
- To the extent possible, changes will be reflected across LCCC systems within 48 hours following the submission.
A preferred/chosen first name is not a nickname and is not a legal name change. Students who are legally changing their name should follow the instructions here.
Questions/Concerns:
If a student would like to seek additional support or advocacy regarding this guideline, they may contact the J.E.D.I. (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Center at jedicenter@lccc.edu.
