Advanced Standing

Testing and counseling assist students in determining their entry level in such disciplines as music and foreign language. Contact the appropriate dean for details.

Music students with previous training or experience are encouraged by faculty to enroll at their level of competency. Foreign language students with previous training or experience are given placement tests at the first class meeting.

Credit for Military School Training

Upon request, LLCC will review military training in accordance with the American Council on Education guidelines and award college credit accordingly.

Training courses completed in the Armed Forces that are applicable to the student’s curriculum will be accepted for credit when official documentation is submitted to the Records Office.

Information about ordering official military transcripts is available from the Veterans Office in Financial Aid (217-786-2758) or from the Records office (217-786-2298). Ordering information varies, based on the branch of service.
