Go! Freshman Orientation
GO (Get Oriented) is all about starting from scratch. It is designed to build relationships and to introduce you to campus life at LCU before your classes begin. We want you to feel at home, so we've created an orientation program just for first year students presented by upperclassmen, faculty and staff. During this time, you'll get the chance to meet new people, the same faces you'll sit beside at graduation and remember for the rest of your lives. Plus, you will get a taste of what LCU campus life is all about! GO is definitely something you don't want to miss.
Once you have registered for courses at LCU, be sure to register for GO! Register by visiting your personal web page or contact your Admissions Advisor.

With the exception of the MSN-Family Nurse Practitioner track, all of LCU’s graduate programs have rolling admissions* and will accept applications at any time. Applicants should note that some programs accept applications year-round, but have fixed start dates.
*To ensure adequate time for consideration, applications should be completed 30 days prior to the beginning of the desired enrollment period. Applications received or completed after this time will be processed as space and time allow.
We know this is a big decision and we are here to walk you through every step of the process.
