3) Advising: An admissions counselor will assist you with arranging an appropriate schedule of classes for your first semester.

Services: Once you enroll at LRC, the Office of Admissions for Graduate and Continuing Education will continue to be your advisor until the next registration period when a faculty member will be assigned to you. The Office of Academic Affairs will send you a letter indicating your new advisor with his/her contact information.
