Student Grievance Procedure

Student grievances may involve academic or administrative matters, disciplinary action under the Student Conduct Code, or alleged discrimination. Grievances, other than those involving alleged discrimination charges will be handled through the regular chain of authority. A student who is not satisfied with a decision at one level may appeal the grievance in writing to the next level of authority. The President or President’s designee is the final authority in any grievance except discrimination grievances where the Board of Trustees is the final authority.

• In grievances involving academic matters, including grading, the student should first consult with the instructor concerned. Every attempt should be made to resolve the grievance at this point of origin; but if necessary, the student may process a grievance, in writing, through the levels of Coordinator, Dean, Academic Vice President, and College President.
• In grievances involving administrative matters and disciplinary action under the Student Conduct Code, the student should first consult with the responsible office administrator; if necessary the student should proceed, in writing, through the levels of appropriate Director, Dean, Vice President and College President.
• In grievances involving alleged discrimination because of sex, color, race, ancestry, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, veteran’s status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, including gender-related identity or other protected statuses as defined by law, the student should first consult with the Vice President of Academic Affairs who will handle the grievance. Appeals may be made to the L&C President and the Board of Trustees.
• Grievances should be submitted in writing at each level of review within ten (10) school days of the action being grieved or within ten (10) school days of the decision on appeal. Written response will normally be made to the student within ten (10) school days unless circumstances require additional time for consideration.

NOTE: L&C must share information about complaints with its accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission, a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, but individual identities will be shielded.

If a grievance results in a fact-finding hearing, the following procedure will be followed:

• You will be informed in writing of the date, time, location and subject of the hearing. A Vice President has the right to suspend you temporarily until the hearing process can be completed.
• The complaints will be described and examined at a meeting of the accusers, the accused, the appropriate Vice President (or representative), advisors and assistants that either party wishes to bring. The appropriate Vice President must be notified within two days of the hearing regarding anyone other than the principal parties who will be attending.
• The appropriate Vice President will have five school days following the hearing to consult again with all parties, as may be necessary, and render a decision.
• This decision may be appealed in writing to the L&C President (or representative) within ten school days of receipt of the decision. With respect to grievances involving alleged discrimination, the decision of the L&C President (or a representative) may be appealed to the Board of Trustees within ten school days of the receipt of the decision.
• If you are dismissed, application must be made in writing to the appropriate Vice President before readmission will be considered.
• Readmission to L&C will be dependent on the student’s ability to document that the behaviors that led to his/her dismissal have been fully remediated.
• If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the Vice President, he/she may appeal in writing to the college President.

Student Identification Cards

Students may obtain a free ID card in the Enrollment Center located in Reid Hall, Room 1200. The ID card allows students to use the Learning Resource Center, computer labs, and other campus services. A $10 fee is charged for a replacement ID.

Student Records (Transcripts)

L&C can provide official copies of your transcript to any institution or individual you designate. Transcripts can be requested online (recommended) at www.lc.edu/current-students/request-transcript.html. Online requests are the only way to send an official transcript electronically. To request a transcript in person, you may fill out a transcript request form in the Enrollment Center or at any Community Education Center location.

L&C reserves the right to deny a student an official transcript (not required to be made available by FERPA) if the student has an unpaid financial obligation to the college. However, the college will provide an official transcript to a student’s current or potential employer even when there is an outstanding financial obligation. These requests must be submitted to and reviewed by the Registrar’s Office. Students may request an unofficial transcript at any time, regardless of financial obligations. Requests for more than five official transcripts require review and approval by the Registrar.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit: By state law, L&C is required to review your previous academic record(s) prior to admission to an Associate of Arts, Associate of Sciences, Associate of Fine Arts, or Associate of Engineering Sciences degree. Students must provide the Enrollment Center with all high school and college transcripts from each academic institution previously attended.

L&C only accepts official transcripts sent directly to the Enrollment Center from the issuing institution or hand-delivered by the student in a sealed, official envelope.

The Records Evaluator will complete a course-by-course evaluation and mail the results, along with an updated transcript, to the student.

All documents presented for admission (applications, transcripts, etc.) become the property of L&C and cannot be returned to the student or released to any outside agency.

L&C is authorized by the Illinois Community College Board and the Higher Learning Commission to waive the 15-credit-hour residency requirement for the purpose of evaluating transcripts issued by State Community College (HLC accreditation July 1, 1978-June 13, 1996) or Metropolitan Community College (HLC accreditation June 14, 1996-December 30, 1998).

Transfer Credit Policy for Laboratory Courses: For certain academic programs, transfer credit for courses that include a laboratory component will only be granted if the laboratory portion was completed through in-person, hands-on instruction at the originating institution. Online, simulated, or virtual laboratory experiences are not accepted for transfer credit toward degree requirements in these programs. Students are encouraged to work with L&C academic advisors or program coordinators regarding transferability of specific general education and science courses and how this policy applies to their program of study.
