1 They must comply with the college admission standards as noted in the college catalog above. 2 They must be Alabama residents. 3 They must be sixty (60) years of age or older. 4 They must enroll for credit courses; non-credit enrollment is not covered under these provisions. The student is responsible for payment of any fees or other charges applied to the general student population. Senior citizens granted a tuition waiver under the Senior Adult Scholarship Program may receive the tuition waiver only one time per course. Anytime a senior citizen repeats a course, he or she is responsible not only for fees but also for tuition. NOTE: Senior citizen course enrollment under the Senior Adult Scholarship Program is restricted to space availability. A course will be expanded beyond the optimal number to accommodate the enrollment of a senior citizen attending under the Senior Adult Scholarship Program.
STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF STUDENT INFORMATION
All applications, transcripts, and supporting documentation submitted to the College for consideration for admission becomes the property of the College. As such, the Office of Admissions and Enrollment Management uses such documentation to make appropriate admission decisions. The College uses a digital imaging system for the storage and retrieval of documents related to a student’s admission file. Beginning Fall 2005, office personnel on both campuses began the scanning of admission applications, transcripts, G.E.D. certificates/transcripts, and other supporting documentation. Admission documents are transferred into the custody of the Office of Student Records upon enrollment into credit programs. Documents within the permanent files of re-admitted students are retrieved from the Office of Student Records, scanned into the digital imaging system as former students apply for admission to the College.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING AND NON-TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC WORK
The College recognizes that learning occurs in a variety of ways. Individuals can master course competencies through employment, training, and other experiences. Such non-traditional learning experiences are termed prior learning. College credit can be awarded for prior learning from which the skills that comprise courses (terminal objectives) are mastered at an acceptable degree of proficiency provided the individual can document skill mastery. Policies governing prior learning assessment (PLA) are listed below; however, specific procedures for implementing this policy at LSCC may be obtained from the Office of the Vice President for Instructional Services. These guidelines are not applicable to secondary/postsecondary articulation agreements or dual enrollment. Students may not earn credits through non-traditional academic work for any courses in which grades have previously been received.
