I'm currently attending a different college but want to take a few courses at Lansing Community College. How does the guest student application work, and what should I know before applying?
To apply as a guest student at Lansing Community College (LCC), you will need to fill out a guest application. You can go to the LCC website and find the application form under the 'Admissions' section. Here are the key steps in the process:
1. First, complete the Guest Application. This includes basic information about you and the college you're currently attending.
2. After you apply, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your LCC student identification number. Keep this number as you'll need it for future reference.
3. Once you get this number, you'll want to activate your LCC account, which you'll use for things like registering for classes and checking your grades.
4. After your account is set up, you can select and register for the classes you want to take.
Keep in mind that as a guest student, you're not eligible for financial aid through LCC. Any financial aid would need to be worked out through your home institution.
Also, you will likely need to demonstrate that you meet the prerequisites for any class you want to take. This can usually be done by providing a transcript from your home institution.
Lastly, it's important to remember that it's your responsibility to ensure the credits you earn at LCC will transfer back to your home institution. Even if a course seems equivalent to what's offered at your school, it's always a good idea to double-check with your home college’s registrar or academic adviser.
