I'm Already Admitted

Applicants who have submitted all required application materials, including a final transcript, are fully admitted. 

For more information on Full/Regular Admission, please see our Admissions Standards. 

Applicants who have not submitted a final transcript are tentatively admitted to LC State.

To be fully admitted, you must submit your official transcript at the end of your final school year.

In order to find out more about what to submit, you can check your application status. For more information on Tentative Admission, please see our Admissions Standards.

If an applicant does not qualify for regular admission, they may be considered for provisional admission by satisfying one of the following criteria:

1. Proof of high school graduation with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA, or

2. Graduated from a secondary school accredited by a body recognized by the Board but has not completed the Admissions Standards Core Courses, or

3. Did not graduate from a secondary school accredited by a body recognized by the Board, including home schooled students, and has acceptable performance on either the General Education Development (GED) test (standard score of 600, 500 on 2002-2013 test, or 50 prior to 2002 test), or another standardized diagnostic test accepted by the institution, or

4. Deserves consideration by the institution because of special status (e.g,, disadvantaged or minority students, delayed entry students, returning veterans, or gifted and talented students wishing to enter college early).

A student seeking provisional admission must take at least one (1) assessment indicator that will allow the institution to assess competency and placement.

If provisionally admitted, a student will enroll with provisional standing and is subject to the institutional grade retention. A provisionally admitted student may change to regular admission status upon satisfactory completion of 14 baccalaureate-level credits, 12 credits of which must be general education courses while maintaining a 2.0 GPA. Regular admission status must be attained within three registration periods (summer sessions are excluded), or the student will be moved to non-degree seeking status, limited to 11 credits per semester and not be eligible for financial aid; subject to Petition Committee appeal procedures.

To learn more about Provisional Admission, please see our Admissions Standards.

For transfer students or returning students, applicants who do not qualify for regular admission per our admission standards or based on academic standing from previous schooling are probationally admitted.

To remain a full-time student, you will need to attain a 2.0 GPA in all college courses at LC State.

Failure to do so will result in academic suspension.

*You may also be tentatively admitted, so check your application status to see what's left to submit.

To learn more about Probational Admission, please see our Admissions Standards.

Students who have been accepted to LC State can defer their admission for one year.

• Students who are denied admission or have incomplete admission files do not qualify for deferred admission. A new application must be submitted.
• If you have been fully admitted, we will change your status to tentatively admitted. This will allow us to check if you enrolled at a different college/university during the deferral period.
