Academic + Student Records

CHANGING YOUR MAJOR, MINOR, OR CONCENTRATION

If a student wishes to change their curriculum, it is recommended they seek academic advising prior to making the decision.

All curriculum changes submitted to the One Stop Center before the end of the Add/Drop period will be processed for that semester. Curriculum changes submitted after the Add/Drop period will be effective the following semester.

To change a major:

  • Undergraduate students have the opportunity to change their major by completing the Change of Curriculum form available online or at the One Stop Center
  • Graduate students who wish to change their major must apply through the Office of Admissions;
  • For international students who change their major, a new I-20 must be generated for their curriculum. Please allow additional processing time for this requirement;

Note: A certificate program is considered to be a major. If Certificate program is your ONLY program then you are NOT eligible for Financial Aid.

Depending on the undergraduate student’s old and new major, they may be eligible for a one-time grade point average (GPA) reset. These conditions are available on the Change of Curriculum form and at the One Stop Center.

It is important to note that once a student elects the one-time grade point average (GPA) reset they may not transfer back to their previous program. Only courses with the grade of C or better will apply in the new major and particular courses taken in their previous major may not apply to the new major. Courses that do not apply will appear as transfer credit only on the student’s transcript. Finally, this option is available only once to a student, which means if a student waives their right to the GPA reset, it is not available in the future. Likewise, if a student elects the GPA reset, it is not reversible at any point in the future.

To declare a minor or concentration:

If a student wishes to declare a minor or concentration, they may do so by completing the Change of Curriculum form, obtaining the appropriate signatures from the department of the new minor/concentration, and submitting it to the One Stop Center.

Students are then responsible for completing all requirements for the minor and/or concentration. Once the student has petitioned to graduate, and it has been determined by the Department Chairperson that the student has completed the requirements for the Minor and/or Concentration, it will be posted to the student’s academic transcript.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR NAME

Change of Address:

It is  extremely important  that the University have a correct permanent home mailing address for each student to mail important information, including but not limited to: policy changes, graduations, etc.

Students may change their address online via BannerWeb. Students may also submit address changes, in writing via fax, email, mail, or in person by completing the Address and Name Change Form    

Change of Name:

Name changes may be updated upon presentation of the completed Name changes may be updated upon presentation of the completed Address and Name Change Form  and of one of the following: court order, marriage license, or divorce decree. An exception to this policy is the woman’s right to retain her maiden name. In cases where our records indicate a maiden name, the change may be made without documentation. However, when no record of a maiden name exists, a copy of a divorce decree or marriage license upon which the maiden name is noted must accompany the request.

Please note: University policy and archiving processes prohibit name changes to Detroit Institute of Technology (DIT) and Lawrence Institute of Technology (LIT) student records after graduation. Lawrence Technological University (LTU) students may change after graduation provided they present valid documentation.

TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS

Unofficial Transcripts:

Unofficial transcripts are available to students and alumni online, via BannerWeb. In cases where the unofficial transcript is not available on BannerWeb it is likely that there is a hold on the account.

Official Transcripts:

Current and former LTU students can submit their transcript request through BannerWeb as long as they know their student ID number. There is no fee for this service. We cannot disclose student ID numbers over the phone, so if you do not remember your ID number please submit your written request as described below.

Official transcripts are also available upon written request (as required by federal guidelines) from the student or alumni member by filling out the Transcript Request Form. When filling out the hard copy transcript request form please fill in as many fields as possible. If you do not remember your student ID number you can leave it blank. If we have any questions we will make sure we contact you at the phone number you list on the form.

There is no fee to order an official transcript. The written request may be submitted via fax, email attachment, mail, or in person at the One Stop Center. Transcripts are available within 2 business days from the date received. If the student requests and it is possible to produce an immediate copy of their transcript, a $10 per copy processing fee applies.

Please be aware that any transcripts issued to students will be marked “Issued to Student.” For most colleges and universities to consider a transcript official, they require that the transcript be sent directly from the issuing institution to the receiving institution. If you submit a transcript marked “Issued to Student,” there is a chance that the receiving institution may not accept the transcript as official.

A note on account holds: Transcripts cannot be released to students who have a conversion hold on their account. For students who completed their course work prior to 2002 it is common for their accounts to have conversion holds . This type of hold was put on all accounts when LTU switched student management systems in 2002. To have this hold removed the student should submit a paper Transcript Request Form which will prompt a thorough review of their record and the removal of the hold. 

Official transcripts will not be released for international students in F-1 or J-1 visa status who have any pending financial obligations to the university.

DETROIT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY RECORDS

Lawrence Technological University was issued custody of the academic records of the Detroit Institute of Technology by the Michigan Department of Education. As a result, requests for official transcripts for students of Detroit Institute of Technology should be made to Lawrence Technological University.

Official transcripts are available, upon written request from the student, and payment of a $5.00 transcript-processing fee per copy. The written request may be submitted via fax, mail, email attachment, or in person. Transcripts are available within 5 business days from the date received. To obtain the form to request your DIT transcript, click here .

Any transcripts issued to students will be marked “Issued to Student.” For most colleges and universities to consider a transcript official, they require that the transcript be sent directly from the issuing institution. If you submit a transcript marked “Issued to Student,” there is a chance that the receiving institution may not accept the transcript as official.

DEGREE AND ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION

The Office of the Registrar can verify enrollment dates or degrees awarded for students. This can be accomplished in several ways:

  • Official Transcript
  • Verification Letter Request
  • National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Third Party Access
  • National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Student Access

Official Transcript

Students may request a copy of their official transcript , which will list the courses in progress. Once the student has graduated, the degree awarded along with the graduation date, will also be documented on the official transcript. 

There is no fee to order an official transcript. The written request may be submitted via fax, email attachment, mail, or in person at the One Stop Center . Transcripts are available within two business days from the date received. If the student requests, and it is possible to produce an immediate copy of their transcripts, a $10 per copy processing fee applies.

In some cases, students may use the unofficial transcript produced from BannerWeb .

National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Third Party Access

The purpose of the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) is to proactively enhance the overall student loan program and to simplify the enrollment and degree verification process. All third party enrollment and degree verification requests to Lawrence Technological University should be submitted via the NSC.

Lawrence Tech has signed a contract, appointing the NSC as the institution’s agent for purposes of confirming enrollment status and degrees awarded to student financial aid recipients. Routinely, the Office of the Registrar will report the enrollment status of its students to the NSC. The NSC is then responsible for providing status and deferment information, on behalf of Lawrence Technological University, to guaranty agencies, lenders, servicers and the Department of Education’s National Student Data System.

ACADEMIC ROOM SCHEDULING

All classroom scheduling for Lawrence Technological University is handled by the Scheduling Team within Enrollment Services. We work closely with all academic departments as well as Disability Services to ensure that each course is placed in a suitable classroom.

Schedules are rolled by the Scheduling Team from one term to the next (i.e. Fall 2019 to Fall 2020, Spring 2020 to Spring 2021). The Scheduling Team will frequently send out email reminders regarding deadlines for schedule changes/edits. Although we cannot guarantee that all room preferences will be met, we continually strive to accommodate as many as possible. Once open room scheduling begins for a term it becomes extremely more difficult if not impossible to fulfill these requests.

Time blocks

Below you will find the semester time block schedules. Departments are required to use the specified time blocks when offering their courses. The scheduling team cannot enter any classes that deviate from these times unless an exception or agreement has been made between the Registrar, Provost, and the Dean of the College offering the course. All approvals must be submitted to the scheduling team via email before any deviations can be entered. The only standing exceptions to the time block policy are lab and studio courses.

Fall and Spring Semester Time Blocks
Summer Semester Time Blocks

Policy on room changes

At any time if an instructor would like to request a room change they first need to contact their department. The department scheduling contact will then  email  a request to the Scheduling Team at schedule@ltu.edu. Please try to include all important and relevant information in the request (ex. CRN, day, time, etc.). Again, while we cannot guarantee all requests will be possible due to space availability we will strive to accommodate as best we can.

SPECIAL EVENT ROOM SCHEDULING

25Live Event Management is a campus-wide, web-based, class and event scheduling software that unites all users on a single database. This system provides a live list of events at Lawrence Tech 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Only Lawrence Tech faculty and staff can utilize 25Live to submit room requests. Students who would like to reserve a room  must have their faculty/ staff representative or the Office of Student Life submit the request on their behalf .

Below are some frequently asked questions regarding 25Live. For a full listing of the 25Live rules and responsibilities visit www.ltu.edu/25live/.


How early can I turn in my room request?
We encourage all 25Live requests to be submitted as far in advance as possible, even if it is for a future term. Scheduling events for future terms will start approximately one month before that term. Until then requests will be kept as pending until the academic class schedule has been set for that term. We will email you once we are able to proceed with your request  

Do we move classes for events?
NO! We are unable to move classes to accommodate events. The only standing exception to this rule is Admission events. If your class needs to be relocated we would contact both the department and faculty member at least 2 weeks in advance.

Do we reserve rooms for groups outside of LTU?
Outside organizations can rent facilities at LTU for   events that serve an  educational  or  public service purpose.

Information regarding facility rentals at LTU can be found:
