Legal Information

Lone Star College policy is consistent with Texas law as to requirements and admission of any resident or non-resident student. For admission and tuition purposes, residency is defined within Texas Education Code §54.052. Students will be notified of any additional documentation required of the clinical partner. All students must submit all required documentation prior to the start of a clinical rotation (or externship). Students who are unable to complete the LSC health program clinical skills requirement will not be able to complete the program due to a lack of clinical placement. Additionally, LSC will notify students that a Social Security number may be required for a background check, and may also be required for taking the licensing examination upon completion of program requirements. Students with student visas may have to provide additional or alternate information.
