| | What is Federal Work-Study? | | |
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a type of financial aid that enables students to work at eligible part-time jobs on campus and earn regular paychecks to help offset education expenses.
At LCCC, there are many part-time student positions around campus. Some of them require FWS, and some do not. If you find yourself with time and interest in a part-time position on-campus, then your potential supervisor may check to see if you are FWS-eligible. This is not something that is checked or awarded unless you are actively seeking an on-campus position.
You can learn more about Federal Work-Study from StudentAid.gov

Student Loans at LCCC
Are you receiving student loans as part of your financial aid award at LCCC? Make sure you know some of the important, often-overlooked details about your loans:
-
Subsidized student loans = the loan does not accrue interest while you are in school
-
Unsubsidized student loans = the loan accrues interest while you are in school (and after)

Check your Self-Service app for more information about your financial aid.

Be Aware: Phishing & Cybersecurity
Phishing is a cyber scam where attackers impersonate trusted sources-like your school, bank, or a professor, to trick you into revealing your personal information, clicking malicious links, or downloading harmful attachments. Even school accounts are not immune to this - there are phishing scams that can look like they are from LCCC!
Check the details
- Look at the sender’s actual email address, not just the name.
- Watch for external email warnings like “CAUTION” banners.
- Don’t trust emails from Gmail or Yahoo claiming to be from LCCC staff.
- Report or trash suspicious emails in your student email account: use the “Red Fish” PhishNotify button in Outlook to report suspicious messages.
Think before you click
- Remember to think before you click.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be skeptical of urgent requests, especially those asking for money or personal info.
- Never share your login info, even with someone claiming to be from the college.
- Don’t store passwords where others can see them.

Confirm Your Information!
Now is a great time to update and confirm your contact and emergency information in the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account!
Keeping your information up-to-date helps LCCC know how to get ahold of you, send you important mail (such as refund checks!), or who to contact for you in case of an emergency.
It's easy:
- Log into myLCCC
- Go to the Self-Service app
- Click on your name at the top of the page and go to Contact Information
- Review your information - address, email address, and phone number.
- Edit or add information as needed, and then confirm! (Note that address changes will not show up immediately; they must be manually verified and will show up within a week of updating.)
- Click on your name at the top of the page again to go to Emergency Information.
- Add or confirm the name and contact methods for your emergency contact person.

Do you need proof of your enrollment and credits for insurance?
You may need to obtain an Enrollment Verification.
The easiest way to do this is to access a ready-to-print Enrollment Verification from the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.
If that does not work for you, you can request one by email from the Student Hub (StudentHub@lccc.wy.edu) using your student email address.
| | |
The Payment Arrangement Due Date is September 19!
Check your student email account for more information. If you still have a balance, you can pay it in full or set up a monthly payment plan. Visit the Payments page to explore your options. Contact the Student Hub or Student Accounts with any questions!
| |
Registration Holds
Registration holds will be placed on students' accounts on September 24 for students who have a balance due and not set up a payment arrangement, or who have not yet completed their mandatory Title IX Training.
Past Due Balances
If you still owe some money for your Fall semester balance, now is the time to take care of it! You can sign up for a payment plan, or pay in full, using the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.
| |
Title IX Training
LCCC students are required to complete annual training regarding alcohol/other drugs and sexual violence prevention.
You must complete your training prior to registering for the Spring semester. You can access the training in your myLCCC account.
You can find more details in your student email account - look for an email titled Online Interpersonal Training for more information.
| | |
Need to make schedule changes?
Students can add/drop classes in the Navigate app.
Before making schedule changes, it's recommended that you talk to your Student Success Coach and the Student Hub, to discuss potential impacts to your academic progress and financial aid standing.
Some students may have holds on their account that will prevent them from adding/dropping classes in Navigate for various reasons. In most cases, you can talk to your Student Success Coach regarding holds and what you may need to do to resolve them. Email your Student Success Coach or schedule an appointment in Navigate if needed.

LCCC's Ludden Library is a crucial resource for students!
The library houses thousands of physical resources and many online and technology resources - including subscriptions to online publications, as well as equipment for check-out including laptops, calculators, and webcams.
In addition, library staff are a great resource to help you with anything from starting or refining your research to citing your sources! Not to mention that the physical library spaces at both the Cheyenne and Laramie Campuses are great for studying or meeting up with classmates to help get you in the right mindset to work on your schoolwork.

LCCC's Office of Student Accommodations provides confidential, comprehensive, free accommodations for students with documented disabilities, Title IX needs (including pregnancy and breastfeeding), and Veterans. They can help provide services or support to reduce mobility, sensory, and perceptual concerns to help YOU be successful!
If you had an IEP in high school, are diagnosed with a physical or mental health need, or are pregnant/breastfeeding and need support while you are in classes, connect with OSA to learn about options you may have for assistance.

Through LCCC's Student Engagement office, there are countless opportunities to get involved on-campus. This can look different for different students - it could be joining a club, attending an event, or even getting an on-campus job.
Campus involvement helps you meet other students, expand your perspective, and develop a support system to help you at LCCC and beyond. There are clubs based on academic programs, extra-curricular activities, shared belief systems, and more. Campus events offer fun, learning, growing, and networking opportunities.
Check out Canvas to keep up-to-date on upcoming events so that you don't miss an opportunity to catch a movie screening, meet an artist, attend a concert, or whatever else might catch your eye!
