If you are taking classes with us to supplement coursework at your home college or university and do not intend to earn a degree or receive financial aid from LCC, complete this visiting student process. Students visiting from another college can skip some of the typical new student steps and enroll directly into their course(s).

Follow these steps to get started!

How to Apply

Step 4: Check your email for a response within 5 business days, for most courses

Unless further information is needed, we will send you a registration email with a permission code so you can register online in ctcLink. 

  Important Note: Visiting students can only enroll in classes after open registration begins. Some high-demand courses will not be available until continuing students have had an opportunity to enroll. Check the Visiting Student Form for upcoming dates and high-demand course info. 


Paying for school: 

  • Visiting students must pay for classes out of pocket by the tuition due date to remain in class.
  • Visiting students are not eligible for financial aid and cannot use the promise to pay/hold request form. 
  • A payment plan is available to split charges into smaller monthly payments.
