Applying to Labette Community College: What should I know?

Hey! I'm interested in applying to Labette Community College. Can someone guide me on what the application process is like and if there are any specific requirements I should be aware of?

Hello! It's great you're considering Labette Community College.

The process should be quite manageable. The application to Labette can be submitted online via their official website. The college has ongoing admissions, meaning you can apply and be accepted at any time, but it's always best to have your application in around three months prior to the term you intend to start, to make time for financial aid, class scheduling, and any necessary placement exams.

The college accepts any student with a high school diploma or GED equivalent with no minimum GPA requirement. However, for specific programs like the Nursing program, there may be other requirements or prerequisites. Always check the specific program page on the LCC website to be sure.

To apply, you typically need to fill out the online application form, submit your high school (and any college) transcripts, and take ACCUPLACER placement tests in English and Mathematics, unless you've completed college-level coursework in those areas already. The ACCUPLACER helps LCC identify your current skill levels and place you in classes that suit your abilities.

After being admitted to LCC, you will then need to complete student orientation, and schedule your classes with an advisor - this ensures that you are set up with what fits you best.

In terms of tuition fees and possible financial aid, you'll want to communicate with the financial aid office and complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if applicable. This would be done after you receive your acceptance letter.

Don't shy away from reaching out to the college's admissions office if you have any questions during the process. They're usually very helpful in responding to queries. Best of luck with your application!
