*An exception to the physical education requirement is available for students who have a physician complete an official LCCC medical waiver form. Waivers are granted solely on the basis that a physical limitation makes even very moderate activity non-beneficial to the participant. Waiver forms must be completed at least one full semester prior to the student’s graduation. A request for a waiver should be directed to the Dean of Professional Accreditation and Curriculum, if necessary, before issuing the required waiver form.

Only courses numbered 101 or above may be used to fulfill program requirements.

The LCCC document “Course Comparison Summaries” is available in Student Services to assist students enrolling at LCCC with courses equivalent to those offered at numerous colleges and universities in central and eastern Pennsylvania.
