LTC welcomes back students Aug. 17-18



 

 

Lincoln Trail College is ready for the start of another school year.
The fall semester begins Aug. 18 and the college will help new students prepare for college at New Student Orientation Aug. 17.
“We’re giving students some flexibility with orientation this year,” said Director of Marketing Chris Forde. “Instead of having one session, we’re offering students a choice of three different times.”
There are orientation sessions at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. Aug. 17 and students can choose the time that works best for them. New Student Orientation helps students prepare for college life.
Students will learn about the services available to them and hear from some of the people they will work with. Additionally, students will take a campus tour.
LTC is also offering walk-in services on Aug. 17. Students that need to meet with an advisor or talk with a representative from Financial Aid can start doing that anytime from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
There will also be an open computer lab and help available from IT during that time. Students that need to take the ACCUPLACER test or drop off IEP or 504 plans will also be able to do that on the 17th.
Students do not need to register in advance for New Student Orientation or for any of the walk-in services. Fall classes begin on Aug. 18 and there is still time to register for classes.
“If you’re planning to take classes this Fall and you haven’t registered yet, we encourage you to do that as soon as you can,” said Forde.
“While you’re registering for classes, we also encourage you to apply for our Educational Paycheck which can help you pay for your college expenses. There’s a very brief application you can complete on our website.”
Also, LTC will welcome new and returning students with the annual Welcome Back Blast 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 17.
“We want students to kick off the year on a high note and see what college life is like at LTC,” Forde said. “We want to make sure our students have fun during the event and also learn how they can get involved on campus and throughout the community.”
Part of Welcome Back Blast is a college fair where students can learn about the clubs and organizations available to them on campus. Different programs will also be on-hand so students that are still undecided can learn about the different academic possibilities on campus.
The college fair also provides an opportunity for LTC community partners to set up booths to provide information about their businesses or organizations.
Many of the booths at the college fair will have giveaways for students and there are a variety of prizes available for students.
There will also be fun and games for students and several food trucks will be on campus to provide food, drinks and treats for students.
