| Recommended skills and qualities for success |
| Along with specific academic admission requirements, our instructors have learned that certain aptitudes and gifts help you learn ASL. Just as some people more easily learn spoken languages, some people are better suited to successfully learning American Sign Language (ASL). For the best chances of success, you should have these qualities and skills:
|
| Course enrolment |
| Enrolment is the final step after you've been accepted, paid your tuition deposit, and the timetable has been set.
|
| Recognition of prior learning |
| If you completed relevant courses at another post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for transfer credit. Apply for transfer credit at least 2 months before classes start by completing the transfer credit form. Review all of the other ways Lakeland does prior learning assessments. |
