Admissions

Admission Policy

In keeping with its mission and goals, the college offers admission to anyone who wishes to further his or her education and can benefit from such an experience. The college views enrollment as a process to assist students in continuing their education to achieve personal and career goals. Admission is not viewed as a process that uses traditional examinations and entrance requirements to reject those who wish to learn. The college considers learning to be a lifelong process and recognizes each individual’s previous experiences as valuable and important in future educational planning.

Lehigh Carbon Community College is committed to providing an atmosphere that encourages learning, the exchange of ideas and interacting with one another in a safe environment. The College reserves the right to deny or to place conditions on a student’s general admission or re-enrollment of an applicant or former students if the college determines such person represents a safety risk to persons or property at the college. Such person shall have the right to appeal decisions under this policy in writing addressed to the Executive Director of Enrollment within ten calendar days of the date the denial or conditions on admission notice was issued.

Application Process

Applicants must complete and submit the LCCC Application for Admissions, located on the college’s website. Paper applications can be obtained from the Office of Registration and Student Records.

All applicants are encouraged to submit a high school transcript or verification of an equivalency diploma—Test of General Education Development (GED). These documents are required of applicants requesting financial aid as well as applicants to the following programs of study: program, program, program, program, and program. (See “Special Admission Program Requirements.”)

High School Students

High school students may have the opportunity to enroll in LCCC credit courses. LCCC offers both Dual Enrollment courses and an Early College program. In the Dual Enrollment program, students earn transferable college credits and may be able to use these credits towards high school graduation. In the Early College program, students also earn transferable college credits, meet high school graduation requirements and graduate with an associate degree.

High school students that are in 9th grade, 14 years or older can apply to LCCC as early admissions or dual enrollment. Students younger than 14 will need to contact Admissions at 610-799-1575 to set up an interview and provide supporting documentation. For Early College, please contact your high school counselor for admissions requirements.
