How to Find the Main Student Tools and Apply to LBCC on lbcc.edu

Updated

Go to lbcc.edu and use the homepage links to reach the four main tools: APPLY NOW to start an application, Viking Portal to sign in to your student account, Class Schedule to view course offerings, and Canvas LMS for course materials. These links appear directly on the homepage, so you do not need to search for them. The steps below assume you have a browser and internet access; an account is only needed for the tools that require login.

The four main entry points on the homepage

The homepage presents these labeled links, each leading to a different function:

Link What it is for When you need it
APPLY NOW Starting the admission application process Before you are a student
Viking Portal Logging in to your student account After you have an account
Class Schedule Viewing the schedule of classes When planning which courses to take
Canvas LMS Accessing course learning materials Once enrolled in classes

How to apply to LBCC

  1. Open lbcc.edu.
  2. Select APPLY NOW on the homepage.
  3. Follow the application flow from there.

The homepage also lists Explore our Programs, which is useful if you want to review program options before or during the application process. The expected result of the application step is that you begin the admission process; the site does not state application deadlines, fees, or required documents on this page, so confirm those details within the application itself.

How to reach the student tools

  • Viking Portal — the login entry for your student account. Use it after you have an account.
  • Class Schedule — the schedule of classes, for checking what is offered.
  • Canvas LMS — the learning platform for course content.

The homepage also includes TTC and View Our Campus Maps as additional links, which can help with locating services and campuses.

Common sticking points

  • Applying vs. logging in: APPLY NOW is for starting an application; Viking Portal is for signing in afterward. If you have not applied yet, start with APPLY NOW.
  • No pricing or login terms shown: The homepage evidence does not list tuition, fees, or login requirements, so do not assume the tools are free or open without an account — check each tool's own page.
  • Course planning: Use Class Schedule to see offerings, then Canvas LMS once you are in a class.

What else the site points to

The homepage highlights View Our Upcoming Events, Give Back to LBCC, and recent press releases, including the selection of Superintendent-President Dr. Mike Muñoz for the 2026 NASPA Region VI President's Award and the groundbreaking on a new $250 million Stadium and Athletic Sports Complex funded with support from local voters through Measure LB. These are informational items, not student tools, but they show the kind of updates posted on the site.
