2004-2005 COLLEGE CATALOG - Luzerne County Community ...

REGISTRATION
All students are expected to register and enroll in classes within the time period
announced in the College Calendar.
A student completes registration by receiving official approval of his/her program
of studies, by having this program of studies recorded on registration forms
and by paying the appropriate tuition and fees (see pages 38-41 for a list of fees).
At the time of registration, the student will complete the College Health Record.
This record is required for all students attending the College and is maintained in
the College Health Office. The College Health Nurse will screen the health records
for serious medical problems. Where necessary, the school nurse will, with the written
permission of the student, contact and alert the student’s instructors regarding
such problems that might occur in the classroom.
RESIDENCY POLICY
Students will be charged tuition on the basis of their residency at registration at
the time they register. Once the student has gone through the registration process,
the residency will not be changed throughout the course of the student’s continuous
enrollment with LCCC. A student is considered to be continuously enrolled
when he or she enrolls for the major semesters (Fall and Spring) of each year subsequent
to their initial enrollment without interruption.
Proof of residency must be submitted to the Admissions Office and will remain
in effect for the term of continuous enrollment unless and until the College receives
notification that the student’s permanent residency has changed.
Proof of residency may be in the form of a driver’s license, vehicle registration,
voter’s registration or a statement notarized by a notary public reflecting name
and current address.
Pennsylvania State Code (Chapter 35 {35.29b}) requires an out-of-state student
to be a resident of the Commonwealth for twelve (12) months prior to registration
in order to meet residency requirements for tuition purposes.
International students are considered out-of-state residents throughout their
enrollment at the College. Permanent residents, refugees and asylum status are
considered residents of the U.S.A. domicile in which they are living.
SENIOR CITIZEN WAIVER POLICY
The senior citizen status at the Community College is for those Pennsylvania residents
who have reached the age of 62 years. Senior citizens will be given a tuition
waiver for credit courses on a space available basis at the close of registration. Senior
citizens may pay tuition for credit courses to secure enrollment. Enrollments secured
with payment will be given preference for class entry, but will not be eligible for waivers.
The senior citizen tuition waiver does not apply to fees and other costs incurred.
Only tuition for credit courses can be waived for senior citizens according to this
policy. Some courses and/or programs have a limited number of seats available, which
may disallow any waivers for that class. The College secures the right to exempt any
of its courses or programs from the senior citizen tuition waiver.
