Greetings and Welcome to Lone Star College System!

Lone Star College System is a comprehensive community college system of six campuses: LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris LSC-Tomball and LSC-University Park.

Each campus has an F-1 International Student Advisor.  This person is your primary resource on questions about admissions, academics, maintaining status, medical insurance and other advising needs.
