community, it is our commitment to the success
of every student. We are here to help students

omplete their goals to:
• Earn an Associate Degree
• Earn a Career & Technical Education (CTE)
Credential
• Transfer to a four-year university with core
curriculum completed
• Complete coursework to improve career
opportunities
The
LSC Success
plan started with the launch of
LSC
Best Start
in 2011. Designed as the Quality
Enhancement Plan (QEP) of our ten-year SACS
reaccreditation process,
Best Start
focused
students, faculty and staff on four key actions
necessary to achieve student success:
• Set a Goal
• Make a Plan
• Get Connected
• Stay Involved
Since then,
LSC Success
has dedicated
re-sources to studying and revising the policies,
procedures, processes and practices that will
accelerate and support these actions.
LSC
Success
is equally focused on removing any
barriers that prevent students from making
prog-ress towards goal completion. As a result,
LSC
Success
is a well-researched and intentionally
designed roadmap to significantly improve
student success and credential completion.
Many aspects of our completion plan have
been in place to varying degrees in the past,
but all are now consistently implemented and
fully integrated into the day to day operations
of every LSC campus location.
Since Best Start was launched, successive
components are being phased in over several
years. The current
LSC Success
phase includes:
• Common mandatory new student orientation
• Required student success course
• Required academic plan
• Declared program of study in first year
• Required first term and continuous
reme-diation
• Required test preparation prior to
place-ment testing
Lone Star College is dedicated to increasing
the number of students who complete a
de-gree, earn a career certification or successfully
transfer core curriculum credits to a four-year
undergraduate program.

College System, the Associate of Arts degree
and the Associate of Science degree are
gen-eralized degrees. Each degree will not list a
specific major but will be called associate of
arts or associate of science.
While certain courses are recommended, the
requirements are essentially the basic first year
and second year offerings appropriate for the
first two years of many baccalaureate degree
programs. Students who successfully complete
the degree requirements of the programs of
study will be eligible to receive the Associate
of Arts degree or the Associate of Science
degree from Lone Star College System.

Field of study curricula were mandated in
Senate Bill 148 of the 75
thTexas Legislature
(1997). The field of study curricula will satisfy
the lower division requirements for a bachelor’s
degree in a specific academic area at a general
academic teaching institution. The student will
receive full academic credit toward the degree
program for the block of courses transferred,
which will meet that institution’s lower division
requirements for the degree program in the
field of study into which the student transfers.
Check with the transfer institution for general
education and degree program requirements.
A student who transfers from one institution of
higher education to another without completing
the field of study curriculum of the sending
institution shall receive academic credit in
the field of study curriculum of the receiving
institution for each of the courses that the
student has successfully completed in the
field of study. The field of study curricula that
have been approved are: Business, Computer
