New Student Enrollment Process
If you are a student who has never applied to LCCC or completed a credit course, the steps below are everything you need to do to apply, enroll, and prepare for classes at LCCC.
1. Complete the Application Process
Career opportunities are abundant in Northeast Ohio, and our academic advisors are passionate about helping you align your talents, work experience, credits earned, and interests to design a pathway to your dream job.
Complete the LCCC Application if you have never applied or have never completed an LCCC credit course.
Have an official copy of your high school or GED transcript sent to the LCCC records office. Request your GED transcripts. If you previously attended any other college or university, transcripts must be requested from each institution.
The placement assessment will help your advisor place you in classes that are appropriate for you.
2. Complete the New Student Orientation
The new student orientation gives you all of the information you need to get started at LCCC. It is recommended that all new students take the orientation on-campus with a trained instructor.
Students are required to complete our Welcome Survey as part of the new student process. The Welcome Survey helps LCCC to identify resources, services and opportunities that align with your goals. The survey can be accessed through your MyCampus account.
3. Apply for financial aid
We strongly encourage ALL students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), even if you don’t think that you will be eligible. Many non-federal awards require the FAFSA.

4. Schedule classes with an advisor
All new students must meet with an advisor or counselor to schedule the first semester’s classes.
