Admissions and Enrollment

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. This process is best for those who have recently graduated from high school.

Apply for Admission

1. Complete the Application for Admission and submit to Enrollment Services or Records Office.
2. Submit the following document to the Enrollment Services or Records Office:
   • A copy of your I-797 Notice of Action from USCIS for your I-821D application for Deferred Action status.

Please allow five business days for processing after a complete application and supporting documentation are submitted for an admission decision. If your deferred action and employment authorization document (EAD) have already expired or the DACA application is still pending, you may apply for admission, but you will not be considered for Ohio residency classification and your tuition fees will be calculated at the out-of-state tuition rate.

Residency Status for Tuition Surcharge

Follow these steps to demonstrate your residency status and qualify for in-state tuition:

1. Complete all necessary steps for admission to the college (above).
2. Complete all necessary steps for enrollment (above).
3. Submit Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Residency Application and all required supporting documents listed below to the Records Office:
   • DACA Residency Application
   • Copy of I-797 Notice of Action document indicating Deferred Action granted
   • Copy of Driver’s License or State ID
4. Wait for the official result. No further action required if approved.

If residency is granted, the in-state tuition rate will be valid until the expiry date of your DACA status, at which time you can submit new documentation to be considered for an extension of the in-state tuition rate.

Financial Aid information

DACA students are not eligible for any Federal Government financial aid program (i.e. Pell Grants, student loans, Federal Work Study). However, you are encouraged to apply for LCCC and other scholarships.  You are also eligible to apply for student employment opportunities on campus at our Career Services Office located in the Bass Library Building.

 

Fields of study

Please be aware that DACA students may face barriers in completing certain programs of study. For example, programs that require a practicum or licensure may be restricted based on Ohio law to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Once you have been admitted to LCCC, contact your academic advisor to discuss your options.

LCCC is authorized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Citizenship Enforcement Services to issue the required Certificate of Eligibility for F-1 students (also known as the Form I-20) as well as the J-1 Exchange Visitor visa (also known as the Form DS-2019). New students will be considered for January (Spring), and August (Fall) semesters. Returning/Current students may also attend June (Summer) semester.
