Our goal is to give each applicant a thorough and personal introduction to LCC so that families feel well-positioned to make an informed decision.
In applying to LCC you will be able to visit the campus and have a personal meeting with a member of the Admission Office team. We look forward to answering all of your questions and telling you all about our school. Our office will keep you apprised of important dates and new developments (e.g., open houses, admission test dates, financial award opportunities, and admission decisions). We will also gladly answer follow-up questions at any time.
A completed application to the school will initiate the opening of a candidate’s file. Admission decisions will be made once the applicant’s file is complete.
