Activate and set up your Clayton State Student Account

When you apply to Clayton State, you're given a student account with a Loch ID (alphanumeric username, such as jsmith1) and Laker ID  (9-digit number).

Your account is more than your student email address. It is your key to accessing campus resources, including the Digital University Campus Kiosk (DUCK), where you'll check your admissions application status, register for classes,  manage your financial aid file, and pay for tuition.

Activate Your Account

  • Head over to Account Manager.
  • Select Activate Your LochID.
  • Enter your Loch ID, Laker ID, and birthday.

Understand important dates, schedule adjustments, and DE policies

The Academic Calendar contains registration and drop/add dates, semester start and end dates, holidays, and other important information for each semester.

View the Academic Calendar

  1. Drop/add is typically available for 2 - 3 days after the first day of classes. Drop/add periods vary by semester; be sure to check the Academic Calendar.
  2. Your DE Advisor cannot process drop/add requests over the phone. The request must be submitted from your Clayton State student email. Schedule changes must be approved by your high school counselor. 
  3. Students who withdraw from a class after drop/add cannot attempt/repeat the same course and receive DE funding. The attempted hours will count against the 30 hours funding cap.   
  4. Students may withdraw from only two courses during the lifetime of their Dual Enrollment participation.  Students who have reached two course withdrawals cannot return for additional funded courses. 
  5. Students must maintain a minimum of 2.0 GPA. See Financial Aid's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy page for details.
  6. Review Dual Enrollment Regulations.

Register for New Student Orientation

Frequently Asked Questions about DE Continuation

Yes, see our Orientation Dates & Fees page to view upcoming Freshman sessions for New Student Orientation.

In an effort to ensure your success in transitioning from Dual Enrollment and previous high school level requirements, we want to outline processes and procedures that are different for non-Dual Enrollment students.

For instance, you need to know your student fees, why they are charged and how to pay them. You may also need information regarding financial aid and student housing. These topics as well as others will be covered during your orientation.

As a new freshman student, you will complete hybrid Orientation. Advisors will build a class schedule for you after you complete Part 1: Online Orientation. 

We strongly encourage you to register for Orientation and complete Part 1 as soon as possible to get your class schedule.

You will not need to obtain a new ID card. You will continue to use the one received as a Dual Enrollment student.
