Did you know there’s an app to help guide students throughout their Lane Community College experience? 

The Education Advisory Board’s Navigate360 is a free platform that offers a number of practical features. In this article, we’ll cover the basics, look at advance registration and review the list of features.

Students can access all of Navigate360’s features using their L# and myLane (student) password. Navigate360 is available for both mobile and desktop devices. 

Android users can get it on Google Play, while iPhone users can download it from the App Store. Once downloaded, open the app and follow the prompts to access your student account. 

To access the desktop version, visit LaneCC.Navigate.eab.com. Click the button that says Login with your school account and you’ll be redirected to a login page. Once you’re successfully logged in, you’ll see Navigate360’s home screen with a list of Applications in the left column.

Get Ready to Register

As of May 12, students have been able to register for classes up to a year in advance. This is great for students who need to plan ahead, juggle their schedule around other responsibilities, and for those who like to book their schedules well ahead of time. Here are brief instructions to help you get started.

Desktop version: Login, then click on the words Schedule Courses in the top navigation bar. This section allows you to view/edit your schedule and register for courses. It’s important to make sure it shows the correct term. You can switch terms by clicking the three horizontal dots next to this heading, then click the drop down arrow next to Switch Terms, then choose the appropriate term. 

Start by clicking Search for Courses next to the magnifying glass. You can search by keyword, course code, subject, department, level and day of the week. Once you set your search preferences, click the Filter button to see your results or click Clear to clear all of the fields. When the list of available courses is displayed, select as many classes as you want and then click the Add Courses to Term button that appears at the top of the list.

Mobile version: Login, then tap the rocket ship icon at the bottom. You’ll see a fly-out menu with Appointments, Checklist, Planner and Scheduler. Click Scheduler, then check to see what term shows under the Schedule Classes heading. If you need to change the term (ie. Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer), then click the 3 dots to the right of Schedule Classes, tap the drop down arrow to the right of Switch Terms, then click on the appropriate term. 

Next, you can click on the magnifying glass to the right of My Planned Courses to search for courses. You can search by keyword, course code, subject, department, level and day of the week. Once you set your search preferences, click the Filter button to see your results or click Clear to clear all of the fields. When the list of available courses is displayed, select as many classes as you want and then click the Add Courses to Term button that appears at the top of the list.
