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 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.

Admission forms are available online at www.llcc.edu. A paper copy of the admission form is available from various offices including the Registration office and the Recruitment and Admissions Office. Admission forms are also available at LLCC Outreach Centers. Completed forms should be submitted to the Recruitment and Admissions Office. There is no fee.

Prospective students must submit an admission form either prior to or at the time of their first registration. This school is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students.

Persons who have been suspended or expelled from any other post-secondary institution for disciplinary or behavioral issues may be denied admission to Lincoln Land Community College by the Vice President, Student Services, or the Vice President’s designee if their presence is deemed a threat to the college or its personnel.
