All students are eligible to obtain student identification cards. Use of certain campus facilities and access to email accounts are limited to students who have this identification. Call the College Information Center at 434.544.8100 for further information.

Textbook Purchases and Refunds

Course materials for summer session may be purchased new or used online at MyLC; click on "buy textbooks" in the right menu bar.

If you would like to rent, be sure to compare to in-store prices first. Used books are sometimes less expensive than rentals and some titles may not be available to rent if we sell them at lower prices in the store. You can also return your rental to the Campus Store at the end of the term if you rent through our rental partner, http://lccampusstore.rentsbooks.com/.

Want to charge on campus? Open a charge or declining balance account online. The College Account may be used on campus at the following locations: Campus Store, campus post office, Westover Room, and, summer hours permitting, for the dining hall, Roly Poly, and Brewed Awakenings in Elliot & Rosel Schewel Hall. Your LC college ID is required to purchase on account. You do not need to open an account to purchase textbooks online; however, you are restricted to online use for textbooks only if an account is not open. 

All online textbook purchases will be charged to a College Account (if the account is not on hold for non-payment) which can be paid online with a credit card at www.lynchburg.edu/payments (pick college account).

Online orders can be picked up in the Campus Store weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning May 20. If you order after this date, please allow one business day before pick-up.  The Campus Store will be closed Memorial Day, May 27, July 1 & 2 for year-end inventory, and Independence Day, July 4.

Graduation

Students who expect to complete degree requirements during the summer session must advise the Registrar's Office (Application for BA/BS degree required) or the Office of the Dean of Continuing and Graduate Studies of their intention.

The official date for granting degrees in summer 2013 is August 16, even though courses may be completed prior to that date.

To qualify for August graduation, all courses must be completed, and in the case of transfer credit, transcripts must be received by August 9. Formal graduation exercises are not held in August. Candidates may participate and be recognized in graduation exercises on May 18, 2013. Students whose programs are completed after August 16, 2013, will be included as candidates for graduation in January 2014.

Grades and Transcripts

Grade reports for each term are available to students online at www.lynchburg.edu/studentsonline on the Wednesday following the end of the term.

Academic Record transcripts, reflecting the preceding term, are usually not available until the Friday following the end of the term. Courses with ending dates prior to the last day of a term are graded with the "normal" courses for that term.

Students who wish to have transcripts sent elsewhere should make such requests in the Registrar's Office at least two weeks before the transcript is needed. A $3 fee is charged for each transcript requested.

College Regulations

All general regulations of the College governing conduct on the campus and all academic rules and requirements concerning class attendance, grades and credits, examinations, and scholarships are in full effect for the summer program. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides for the confidentiality of students' educational records. For specific information, consult the undergraduate or graduate catalogs and The Hornet student handbook.

Honor System

All enrolled students are bound to honor high standards of conduct and to maintain the spirit of honor and integrity. The Honor Code (see The Hornetstudent handbook) is in effect during the summer session with the usual sanction for a violation as suspension from the College. Any student who observes a possible violation is expected to contact the professor or the Office of the Dean of Students.
