Have you received your Big Blue Envelope? If you have, CONGRATULATIONS! You have been accepted to Lancer Nation – Lenoir Community College. If you applied to LCC, it will be arriving in your mailbox any day. The Big Blue Envelope is on its way, bringing important and fun information that you need as a student to be successful in college.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Blue Envelope contains the Lancer Survival Guide, information that will help students be successful while at LCC,\u201d said LCC Enrollment Management and Recruiting Director Dr. Dusk Stroud. \u201cThe guide provides a checklist, everything from how to activate your LancerMAIL, myLCC, and Moodle to how to register for classes and ways to pay for your education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Stroud said we know that students have questions. \u201cIt can be daunting to navigate starting college, but we have answers, and we are willing to help you on your educational journey. We also encourage our students to follow us on social media and to be a part of campus life. We have included that information in the Big Blue Envelope as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Also included in the Big Blue Envelope is information about Experience LCC, which will be held on July 13. \u201cOrientation is for new students to help get acclimated to campus before classes start in the fall. Students meet with their advisors and register for classes before enrollment is open to everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director of Financial Aid Shelia Wiggins said there are several federal, state, and local financial aid opportunities as well as scholarship opportunities through the College\u2019s Foundation Office. \u201cWe don\u2019t want finances to be a barrier to attending LCC,\u201d she said. \u201cBy completing your Free Student Aid (FAFSA) and a scholarship application, we can determine your financial award. If you qualify, you could attend LCC free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

LCC Foundation Executive Director Jeanne Kennedy said one application is all that is needed to be submitted for all LCC scholarships available. \u201cWe encourage students to apply and take advantage of the scholarship opportunities made available by our generous donors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
