New Student On-Campus Orientation

We know how exciting and intimidating it can be to join a new community. The on-campus New Student Orientation is designed to assure you a strong start from day one. New Student Orientation takes place from January 5-6 and is required for all on-site students. Orientation is designed to help you make the transition to university as easy as possible. During orientation you can expect to meet staff and faculty, learn more about academics at LCC, participate in group activities, meet your peers, get to know Klaipėda, and prepare for your 4 years at LCC International University. 

During orientation you will be assigned to a First Year Seminar (FYS) group that is led by an FYS instructor and an FYS student leader. Your FYS group  will help you navigate campus, prepare you for the first day of class, make connections with other students, meet staff and faculty, and help answer any questions you might have. 

Orientation Schedule: Friday, January 5 – Saturday, January 6

You will receive an official orientation schedule when you arrive on campus. All activities are required, unless otherwise indicated. 

First Year Seminar (FYS)

First Year Seminar (FYS)* is a class that continues the orientation program by providing students a solid foundation to succeed at LCC. FYS provides an avenue for students to not only become familiar with Christian higher education and with LCC, but also to develop vital academic, social,  and self-development skills needed to succeed in a multicultural university setting. 

FYS has three goals:

  • To introduce students to academic life at LCC and to equip students take ownership of their university learning
  • To help students grow personally and to develop vital self-awareness and self-development skills
  • To connect students to on campus-resources and learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom

Upon arrival at LCC, you will be placed in a First Year Seminar group of 15-18 new students. This group will be led by a First Year Seminar Instructor (LCC Faculty or Staff member) and First Year Seminar student leaders. Each student leader is trained to help you adjust to life at LCC and make your first year experience as smooth as possible. As LCC students, the FYS leaders can answer any questions you may have. 

   *This class costs 61.50 EUR. All students are responsible to pay for this course and this amount will be an additional amount over 30 credits load in the Fall semester. No financial aid is given for this non-credit course.
