A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
The College of Lake County offers several layers of support for students, including scholarships, financial assistance, food pantry, textbook grants, and a wide range of educational supports. See the brief descriptions below.
Tuition and fees at CLC are much lower than those at private schools or public four-year colleges because a portion of the college budget is supported by funds from local taxpayers and the State of Illinois.
A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Tutoring
Our Tutoring services at each campus provide you with support to succeed in your classes. Free tutoring is offered for math and writing in addition to a variety of other subjects.
Testing
Our Testing Centers at each campus provide testing services to meet student and community needs, including testing for placement (proficiencies and prerequisites), make-up exams for courses, testing for online courses, etc.
Disability Services
The Office for Students with Disabilities has experience working with students with a wide range of needs. Regardless of the type of disability, our office will work with you to develop reasonable accommodations to level the academic playing field.
Student Success Sessions
You can also get help in sessions offered through a program called Succeed at CLC. This program offers two types of academic help: Study Zones and mini-workshops on academic success topics. It also offers Game Nights to help you relax and unwind.
Coaching for Academic Success
Coaching for Academic Success is a holistic approach to supporting students in defining, assessing and achieving their academic goals. CAS staff build confidence, intervene early and often, connect students to resources and collaborate across the college.
The LBGTQ+ Resource Center works to build and maintain an inclusive campus community. We foster pride, respect, and unity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender fluid, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual and allied populations. We advocate for freedom and knowledge of individual identity, human expression and equal opportunity.
The mission of the Multicultural Student Center is to provide programs and services to encourage educational, personal, social and cultural growth among the College of Lake County’s diverse student population.
