Admission Procedures

Lake City Community College adheres to the "Open Door" admissions policy as provided by Florida Law. This means that if an individual is a resident of the state of Florida, the individual may enter the College if he or she meets the minimum age requirement of 16 years. Although admission to associate degree programs requires that an applicant must have graduated from high school or have a general education diploma (GED) issued by a state department of education, a number of certificate programs are available regardless of high school graduation.

Students who enter selected certificate programs without a high school diploma or GED, must demonstrate the ability to benefit from such job training. Ability to benefit is determined through college wide testing, and achievement of minimum entry scores on such tests.
