Special Admissions

Under 16 Years Old

Students under the age of 16 who have not yet graduated high school or achieved a GED who wish to enroll in college credit courses are encouraged to take advantage of this early start option through a special admissions process. The Under 16 Admissions process requires students to follow the established admission, placement and registration procedures as required of all students new to LLCC. This includes submitting an admission form (with parent/guardian signature), providing current high school/home school transcripts, meeting ACT/SAT or placement score requirements and course prerequisites. An additional letter stating why the student wants to take classes and how the student is prepared for college is required. Admission to LLCC is not guaranteed.

Selective Programs

Certain programs require an additional application beyond the LLCC Admission Application. These programs have limited seats available for students and are therefore selective. Examples include Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nursing, Radiography, Truck Driving, and more. The Illinois Public Community College Act requires that whenever enrollment in a program must be restricted because of space limitations, a college must give preference to district residents. Consequently, admissions to selective programs for students who live outside of LLCC District 526 vary per program based on space availability and qualified applicant pool.
