The Student Information section includes the rules, guidelines, and
processes that allow the student and College to operate while assuring concern
for the rights of others and their property.
The topics in this section are listed alphabetically.
At the beginning of each semester, the Admissions Office shall
determine the residency status for tuition purposes of each student who
enrolls. If the Admissions Officer
determines that the original residency classification of any student was
incorrect, written notice of reclassification may be given at any time to such
student, together with a statement of any additional tuition owed by or any
refund due such student for any semester, and the same shall be due and payable
forthwith. (For additional information
see “Residency for Financial Aid” in the Financial Information section.)
Sexual harassment is a form of sex
discrimination that violates Title IX, Education Amendments of 1972 or Title
VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In its
1980 guidelines, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines the
rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in the workplace.
The College is committed to maintaining an environment free of objectionable and disrespectful conduct and will not tolerate behavior of a sexual nature that interferes with an individual's performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive learning or working environment.
Alleged incidents of sexual
harassment will be fully and promptly investigated, and appropriate
disciplinary or other corrective action will be taken where the investigation
indicates such harassment did occur. Students who feel they are being harassed by anyone
connected to LCC, should contact
