Step 1. Complete and submit an application
If you have not submitted a college application for admission, please do so as soon as possible. Watch "How To" Video
Step
2. Assess in English
and Math (if necessary)
Assessment means finding out what your strengths and weaknesses
are in certain basic college skills. All new students planning to earn an associate degree or transfer to a 4-year college or university must take the assessment tests. Your assessment scores will
assist you and the counselor you meet with at your New Student Workshop
to determine which courses are appropriate for you. Find out whether you need to take the assessment tests.
NOTE: If you are a graduating high school student from
a local area high school, please contact your schools Career
Center or a school counselor early in the spring semester to schedule
appointments to attend an LMC Outreach information session. Assessment testing instructions for high school seniors will be given at that time. A schedule of high school visits will be posted on the high school Calendar of Important Dates page in February.
Step 3. Attend
a New Student Orientation (first-time college students only)
The New Student Workshop will provide you with important information
about college programs, services, policies, procedures, and requirements, and is essential for new students.
There are four options to choose from:
New Student Workshop A counselor will be present to help you select first-semester classes and provide a brief orientation. Sign up for a New Student Workshop.
