Admissions Policy

Lake Michigan College offers an "open door" admissions policy for individuals who are interested in and capable of benefiting from the post-secondary experiences. Admission to the College is open to:

  • Any high school graduate or GED recipient, or
  • Any person who is 18 years of age or older, or
  • Any person who demonstrates Ability to Benefit on an approved College assessment instrument. For individuals who utilize the Ability to Benefit option for admissions who are under the age of 18, Provisional Admission will be offered until that individual's high school class has graduated.

Individuals who are still in high school may enroll in classes at the College during regular high school hours with permissions of their high school guidance officer.

Guest Student status will be granted to individuals who attend other colleges and universities upon completion of the Guest Student Application. Guest students may enroll in course work for which all stated pre-requisites have been met.

If you are a high school junior or senior and want to take an LMC course for college credit (dual enrollment courses), you must submit the appropriate documents. See your high school counselor or contact the LMC Admissions Office for details.

Freshman Seminar
If you are a student coming to college for the first time and taking more than six (6) credit hours at Lake Michigan College, you will need to attend a Freshman Seminar course (CLS 100) to help you learn important information about program, activities, and services at Lake Michigan College.

This one-credit class will provide you with the opportunity to:

  • ask questions
  • meet members of the College staff
  • update study skills
  • acquaint you with college services

Students who score at or above approved levels on the college placement tests may request a waiver from Freshman Seminar classes through a counselor/advisor. For more information, please contact Student Services.

Interested in applying? Read over our enrollment process, then talk with a Student Services Generalist to see how Lake Michigan can help you change your mind and your life.

CLEP Testing
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP), sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board, affords students and prospective students the opportunity to demonstrate academic proficiency at the freshman/sophomore college level in specific subject areas. (While the CLEP does offer general examinations, Lake Michigan College does not accept these examinations for college credit.) The specific subject area examinations measure factual knowledge and understanding, as well as the ability to see relationships and apply principles to new problems. They are essentially end-of-course tests developed for widely-taught undergraduate courses. The Assessment Center is located in Room A203. For further information, call (269) 927-8100 ext. 5243.
