Effective July 1, 2025, all students must electronically sign this agreement through their Self-Service account before registering for new classes. Continuing students will be required to sign a new agreement at least once per year, and completing this agreement will also be required as part of the initial College application process for new students.

For help accessing your Self-Service account, please contact the Help Desk: https://www.luzerne.edu/currentstudents/helpdesk.jsp.

Please contact the Business Office at 800-377-5222 option 3 with any questions specific to the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement.

The James T. Atherton Gymnasium will close on Monday, June 23, and is expected to reopen by Friday, August 22, 2025.

When Isla Larsen Sanchez turns eighteen, her grandmother, a great storyteller, dies. It is then that Isla discovers she has a gift (or curse?) passed down through her family's cuentistas. Isla is enchanted by this connection to the Sanchez cuentistas...that is until she has a vision of an old murder mystery.
