Get to Know Your Lakeland ID # (LID)
To help protect your privacy, Lakeland Community College has assigned a Lakeland ID number (LID) to you. This number is a different number than your social security number. The number is eight digits and starts with two zeroes. For example: 00xxxxxx
This personal number will be yours forever.

How do I find out what my LID is?
It will be printed on all of your schedules, financial aid notices, and tuition bills where your social security number was previously printed as well as on the bottom portion of your schedule, which is used to pay tuition.

What if I forget my LID?
We do not release your LID# without photo verification of identity. Here are the standard options for students in this situation:

Present a photo ID at the Admissions Office and you will be given your LID number.

Lakeland has added managed print services, in order to offer a color printing option, curb rising costs, provide quality printing resources, and reduce waste, all while delivering these services at a very affordable price. We are providing students with an allocation of $10 in free printing per semester.

Look for your pre-loaded balance using the "Print Fund Manager", available in myLakeland, under the "STUDENT" tab, in the "myRECORDS" menu.

• Funds in the Print Fund Manager can be used to pay for printing/ copying in select areas on campus.
• Pre-loaded funds will be added to your account up to 10 days before the start of the semester (fall/spring) or immediately after final exams for overlap semesters (such as summer). Additional funds can be added to your account through the Print Fund Manager.
• Your pre-loaded funds will be charged first, followed by any additional funds that you add to your account.
• Your pre-loaded funds will expire after final exams, and will reset to $10 if you are a continuing student. Additional paid funds will remain available for use on your account up to 2 years.
