Student Services



The Student Services Division provides services and programs to enhance the general education and development of students, enrich the quality of student life and support the teaching and service mission of the College.

The division consists of student activities, admission and records, advising and counseling, testing, financial aid, orientation, registration, recruitment, campus bookstore and student organizations.

Student Handbook

Policies and procedures related to student life and to the rights and responsibilities that accompany student citizenship are found in the Student Conduct Code. This code and other important information pertaining to student life may be found in the Student Handbook. It is the student’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of established college policies and procedures that are contained in the Student Handbook and to comply with them. Copies of the Student Handbook are available upon request in the office of the Dean of Student Services and may also be viewed at www.lsco.edu.

Health Services and Student Insurance

Because Lamar State College Orange is a commuter school, the College does not employ a full-time health professional. The existence of a local ambulance service and the posting of emergency telephone numbers in each office provide adequate medical service for the staff and student body. Students are encouraged to contact their personal physicians or the County Health Clinic in case of illness. Any campus accident or serious illness must be reported to the Dean of Student Services.

All registered students enrolled in six or more credit hours (three or more during the summer) are eligible to purchase health insurance for an entire year or for one semester. Health and accident insurance is required of all international students and all participants in the intramural sports and Spring Day Program. Insurance information is available from the Dean of Student Services.
