The To Do list helps you keep track of documents you are required to send us that support your application.

This information is stored in 2 places

  • in the Tasks tile
  • in the Admissions tile

Items on your To Do list depend on the program you've applied to take.

Most programs just need an official transcript showing you have successfully completed all the required courses or credential for your program.

Other programs require more such as a medical release form or work experience record.

Your program specific requirements will be on your To Do list.

Once you've submitted a docuement and the admissions team has determined that it meets all the requirements for that item, they will mark is complete and it'll disappear from your To Do list.

When there are no more items showing on your To Do list, this means that all admission requirements have been completed and you have full admission. 

If you want more information about the document that you need to provide, you can click on that row.

A new window will open with more information.

Due dates can be difficult to interpret. When viewing dates on a computer, they should default to MM/DD/YYYY. On a mobile device the dates may display as either MM/DD or DD/MM depending on device settings. If you're uncertain if the due date is Aug 5 or May 8, check how your birthday is displayed under the Profile tile and use that to know if the month or the day is listed first.

If this doesn't help, please reach out to the My Lakeland help desk.

Required are items our admissions team haven't received.

Received are items the admission team has received and are being reviewed for a decision

Doesn't Meet Requirements are items our admissions team reviewed but don't meet the document and/or program requirements. Typically, you will receive an email explaining the admissions team's assessment.

This applies to both being accepted and being offered a seat on a waitlist.

You'll need to accept or decline the offer.

You'll also be asked to confirm your decision.

The graphics show the options to accept or decline the conditional acceptance, and then the yes or no to confirm your choice.

Whatever your decision, your application status will be updated immediately. 

If you choose to decline your offer and confirm that selection, your application will automatically be withdrawn. 

Once you have accepted your offer, if your program has a tuition deposit, you will see the Pay Admissions Deposit button.

If you don't see the button, then you may not need to pay a deposit. Some programs don't require a deposit - your offer letter will specify.

One option for paying your tuition deposit is using my Lakeland. These are the steps.

While using My Lakeland to pay online is a common method for paying fees, there are several other ways to make a payment.

Another common method is using your bank's online bill payment feature.

For programs without a tuition deposit, it depends on when the admissions team makes changes to your application.
