Be a
winner this fall at the ‘College of Champions’
There’s more than 120 ways to be a winner this fall at the “College of Champions.”
That’s because Laredo Community College offers more than 120 associate’s degrees and certificate programs to become a champion in a career.
Students in a quest for a brighter future should take advantage of the registration activities for the fall 2006 semester at LCC main and south campuses.
Students who can self advise for classes and those who already have taken advantage of faculty advising can register online now through Wednesday, Aug. 16 for the fall term via the On Line Enrollment (OLÉ) system at http://ole.laredo.edu.
Students are classified as "self-advised" if they have earned at least nine college-level semester hours of credit, have met college level readiness in English, reading and mathematics, have a declared major on file with the admissions/registration office and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
Hundreds of day, evening and distance learning classes are scheduled to be offered at both college campuses.
Students may view the fall 2006 class schedule and register for the new term by logging on to the college's On Line Enrollment (OLÉ) system at http://ole.laredo.edu. The system is available from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Students who register between July 10 and Aug. 16 have until Thursday, Aug. 17 to pay their tuition and fees by 5 p.m. at the Bursar's Office at either campus.
Payment with a major credit card will be accepted until 11 p.m. on Aug. 17 via the OLÉ web system.
Fall registration via the OLÉ system will continue Friday, Aug. 18 through Monday, Aug. 21. Students may register online from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and have until Tuesday, Aug. 22 to pay their tuition and fees by 7 p.m. in person at the Bursar’s Office or by 11 p.m. with an online credit card payment.
For those who are required to seek advising from a faculty member or counselor, they can get advised and then register for classes on Aug. 22 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Felix Gamez, director of Admissions/Registration at LCC, said that faculty advising offers students an opportunity to create a degree plan that charts their future at the college and beyond.
“Faculty advising at LCC is like a roadmap that guides a student on the pathway to earning a certificate, associate's degree or the transfer degree requirements to pursue a bachelor's degree at an upper-level university,” Gamez said.
Students who have declared a major with the Admissions/Registration Office should visit the department office that corresponds to their major.
Advising for most programs of study is available at both campuses. However, students should note that advising activities for certain instructional programs will be conducted at specific campuses:
* At LCC main campus only- allied health and nursing, performing arts (formerly music/dance), electrical technology, heating/air conditioning, refrigeration technologies, major appliance installer/repairer, military science and welding;
* At LCC South only- automotive-collision repair technology, automotive technology/technician, computer electronics, diesel engine mechanics, protective services and child development.
Students who are undecided about their major should report to the counseling center at either campus.
Students who register Aug. 22 must pay their tuition and fees by 7 p.m. at the Bursar's Office at either campus. Payment with a major credit card will be accepted until 11 p.m. via the OLÉ web system.
