Why do I need to take a placement test?
You must complete placement testing, submit ACT or SAT scores, or submit a high school transcript demonstrating placement if you are seeking a certificate or degree. If you took the SAT or ACT or can demonstrate placement by your high school transcript, please submit your scores and/or transcript to admissions@lakelandcollege.edu as soon as possible. If you are unable to submit this information, you will need to take a placement test. Note: students applying to special admission programs should review their program’s specific requirements for test scores.
