We welcome students from all colleges and universities looking to save money and get ahead. Often referred to as “transient” students, you can take classes at LCCC, and they will transfer back to your home school. The steps you need to take are outlined below or give our enrollment specialist a call.

Apply to LCCC

Complete the LCCC Application if you have never applied or have never completed an LCCC credit course. 
 Apply to LCCC    

Meet with your advisor or counselor at your college or university

Your advisor at your home institution will help you determine the proper courses to take at LCCC and provide you with a transient permission letter to ensure transferability for your degree requirements. We will also accept an official or unofficial transcript in place of the transient permission letter. However, submitting transcripts in place of a permission letter does not guarantee your home institution will accept transfer credit for your LCCC courses. 

Complete the Transient Student Registration Form

Choose your classes, upload your documentation, and a member of our team will handle your registration within three business days. 
   Complete the Transient Student Registration Form. 

Send your LCCC transcript back to YOUR college or university

Complete the process to have your transcript sent to your college or university so they can evaluate and award you credit for the course. This process can be completed at any time after you register for your class.

To select transcripts in MyCampus, select “Grade Posting” as your processing option, then select the term your LCCC courses were taken to ensure your transcript is not sent before your final grade is posted.

 Learn more about sending transcripts to your college. 

Pay your bill

Be familiar with how to determine how much you owe and the options for paying your tuition. These options are available in MyCampus.

Transient students typically do not qualify for Federal Student Aid. However, you could be eligible for a Consortium Agreement.  A Consortium Agreement is an agreement between eligible institutions that enables you to receive financial aid while visiting another institution.  Please check with your home institution to see if you qualify.
