What do I need to do to enroll at Lake-Sumter Community College?
If the student has not attended LSCC, he/she must:

of $25.00.
- The minimum residency requirement states that a person must reside in
Florida for at least one year (12 consecutive months) immediately preceding
the beginning of classes. Complete residency requirements are in the "Application
for Admission." Refer specific questions on residency to the admissions
office on the main campus.
- Make sure the student lists at least (2) forms of I.D. i.e. voter registration drivers license, or vehicle registration on the residency portion of the "Application for Admissions."
- Review "Application for Admission" to make sure it is complete. All blanks must be filled in and it must be signed.

the college will need a high school and/or college transcript(s) sent to
Lake-Sumter Community College Admissions Office.

Do I have to fill out an application if Ive attended non-credit classes at LSCC?
If the student previously attended a non-credit seminar/class, then
he/she must submit an "Application for Admissions" and pay the $25.00 non-refundable
fee.
Do I need to complete an "Application for Admission" if I dont want credit for a class?
Yes, anyone planning to take a credit class must complete an application, even if they dont wish to receive credit for the class. They may audit the class if they do not wish to earn a grade.
If a student wishes to take a credit class but doesnt want credit for the
class, he/she can audit the class by going to the admissions office to fill
out an audit form. This can be done through the add/drop period.
What do I do if I
haven't attended classes for awhile?
If the student previously attended LSCC and took any credit classes but has been out one (1) year or more, then they must complete an "Application for Admissions." They are not required to pay the application fee again.
(Please write at the top of the application "Reactivate", and the approx.
dates of attendance).
What do I do after Ive paid the application fee?
After the admission process is complete, then give the application the following information:

Can I take college credit classes if I dont have a high school diploma?

can only take up to 12 credit hours, then they must supply LSCC with a GED or
High School Diploma.
Will my credit transfer from another college?

Exceptions would be Articulation Programs (i.e. Criminal Justice, EMT, LPN). In these cases, Vo-Tech transcripts are required.
Can I register for classes if I have not had my transcripts sent to
LSCC and I am degree seeking?

the catalog, you will have a hold placed on your account and will not be
able to register for future terms.
