Admission

Admission to Lincoln Land Community College shall be open to all who apply and can benefit from any of the programs offered. The college and the student accept responsibility for placement of the student in courses and programs for which the student demonstrates academic preparedness. A student may demonstrate preparedness for college-level work through a variety of means, including high school GPA as listed on the transcript, ACCUPLACER Next Generation and ALEKS exams, performance on the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and coursework completed at the college level. Participation in credit-bearing course work at the collegiate level is open to all who are 16 years of age or older and demonstrate their level of preparedness. For a student who meets all admissions criteria, but who initially does not demonstrate preparedness for college-level work, the college reserves the right to restrict access to certain courses and programs and affirms its commitment to helping the student achieve preparedness.

In special circumstances, the Vice President of Student Services (or the Vice President’s designee) in conjunction with the Vice President of Academic Services (or the Vice President’s designee) may, with mutual agreement of affected faculty, authorize admission to the college and registration into college-level coursework by students who do not meet all admission criteria (Board Policy 5.11).

A high school transcript is required to verify satisfactory completion of the math prerequisite of one year of high school geometry, pre-calculus or the science prerequisite of biology.
