I'm considering applying to Lake-Sumter Community College and would like to know what the application involves. Any information on requirements or deadlines would be super helpful as I'm trying to plan my next steps.
It's excellent that you have begun considering your application for Lake-Sumter State College (formerly known as Lake-Sumter Community College). Here is a general overview of the admission process:
1. Application Form: The first step is to fill out an online application form available on the Lake-Sumter State College's official website. The application includes basic information about your educational background, personal details, and your intended program of study.
2. Residency Declaration: As part of the application, you will need to declare your residency status. This is to determine your tuition rate (in-state and out-of-state have different tuition rates).
3. Transcripts: After submitting the application, you will need to submit high school transcripts or GED scores. If you are a transfer student, you would also need to send college or university transcripts from any schools you have previously attended.
4. Placement Testing: After your application is accepted, you may need to take a placement test unless you have proper college level scores on the SAT, ACT, or P.E.R.T. This assessment will help determine the level of reading, writing, and math courses for which you are suited.
5. Orientation and Advising: You'll be required to complete a student orientation session which will familiarize you with the campus, resources, and services available to you. Post orientation, you will meet with an advisor to review your placement scores, discuss your program of study, and choose your courses.
