| From application to acceptance--they need to send their marks | |
|
We'll let you know that the application has been received. This is very important: if marks are sent with the application, your student could receive their conditional or full acceptance within a week. This doesn't apply to programs that require a personal interview or other extra admission requirements. Without a transcript or a list of courses with marks from their school, the application process is stalled. To help your student and us, encourage them to get their marks in to the admissions office. After applying, your student will be receiving a variety of communication from Lakeland College. We don't want to overwhelm you, so you'll get it all in stages. So watch for additional information about applying for residence, entrance scholarships and other information about Lakeland College. |

| Academic Life | |
The Rules and Regulations  Students have both rights and responsibilities while at college. Their academic life is governed by a comprehensive set of academic regulations set by the Academic Council. Rules and regulations for such things as the grading system, appeals, probation, and deadlines for course selection change can be found in the Academic Calendar. Students are also provided with program handbooks and course outlines that describe program goals and course evaluation procedures. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure their course selections meet graduation requirements and that the information on their transcripts accurately reflects their achievements at Lakeland College. You want to be able to understand things your student talks about--or even if they don't, some things you might like to know can be found in the Lakeland College Student Policies and Procedures handbook. |
