Restricted Programs

In addition, the following restricted programs require both high school AND college official transcripts. Please refer to the program’s respective pages for further requirements:

Take the Placement Test

Placement Test or Exemption
Most transfer students are exempt from part, or all, of the testing. Depending on what college courses you have taken, with a grade of C or better, you may be exempt from the English, Reading and/or Math tests.

If you graduated high school in the past two years you may also use your high school transcript or SAT/ACT scores for testing waivers. Review the exemption list for more information. You are also exempt if you took LCCC’s placement testing in the past two years.

Healthcare Science Majors
The biology placement test is required for Healthcare Science majors and the Veterinary Technician program unless you were previously enrolled in a college level BIO course and passed with a C grade or higher.

Science and Engineering Majors
Students in these majors must take the chemistry and math placement tests unless you were previously enrolled in a college level CHEM and MAT course(s) and passed with a C grade or higher.

For more information about placement tests or to schedule a test date please visit the LCCC Testing page or call any of the LCCC campuses where placement testing is offered.
