Admissions Policy

Lake Land College maintains an open-door admission policy that provides access to higher education for those individuals who can benefit from our comprehensive programs.

Admission to the College does not ensure entrance into a particular course or program of study since applicants may have to meet specific requirements for entrance into certain programs. Admission requirements for those “Special Admission Programs” are described under Majors, Degrees, & Certificates.

Preference must be given to qualified in-district students and those students from qualified regional programs.

Lake Land College admits as regular degree seeking students only those who:

• Have a high school diploma; and/or
• Have the recognized equivalent of a high school diploma; and/or
• Are beyond the age of compulsory school attendance in the State in which the institution is physically located.

All degree seeking students are provisionally admitted until their high school transcript is evaluated and/ or they have undergone course placement level determination.

It is the policy of Lake Land College not to engage in discrimination or harassment against any person because of race, traits of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, association with a person with a disability, marital status, military status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender-related identity and expression, sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, parental status, order of protection status, unfavorable discharge from military service, work authorization status, citizenship status, family responsibilities, actual or perceived decisions regarding reproductive health, or on any other basis protected by applicable federal and state law.

The College takes appropriate steps to ensure that the lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in educational programs.
