Student Handbook

Published alongside the LCC Catalog, the Student Handbook is a comprehensive resource for students covering academic policies, conduct codes, campus resources, and legal rights.

The handbook details policies that promote academic success, fairness, personal conduct, campus safety, and inclusivity. It empowers students with the necessary procedural knowledge for registration, classroom expectations, financial responsibilities, and disciplinary matters, ensuring an equitable and well-regulated learning environment.

Key topics in the handbook include access to the 1099-T tax form, address-change procedures, commencement application deadlines, and campus-closure protocols.

The handbook contains Academic Protocols, including:

• Dishonesty & Grievance: Defines expectations around plagiarism, cheating, and academic honesty, with procedures for grievance and appeal.
• Academic Standing/Enrollment: Outlines the processes for adding and dropping classes, probation standards, and course withdrawal rules.

LCC's Student Conduct Code is included in the handbook. Based on Washington WAC 132M-126, the Student Conduct Code outlines expectations for integrity and respect, provides definitions, prohibits certain behaviors, describes Title IX procedures, and details the discipline process for violations of the code.

Legal and safety policies, such as those governing the responsible use of academic materials, are also included.
