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.
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If you choose to decline your offer and confirm that selection, your application will automatically be withdrawn.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.
1. Click on the Pay Admissions Deposit button and you will be taken to the Make a Payment page.
This page doesn't adjust to the size of your device so we strongly recommend that you only make a payment using a desktop or laptop.[see the graphic in the next dropdown]
2. To pay the deposit click on Pay Charges and the amount will fill in automatically.
3. Click Next.
4. On the Confirm Payment page, click Continue to Make a Payment.
5. This will transfer you to Moneris, our secure payment service. On the Moneris site you'll need to add your credit card information.
6.Click on Checkout.
7. When your payment is accepted, you will then be taken back to My Lakeland to view the confirmation.
When you use My Lakeland to make your tuition deposit payment, a receipt will be emailed to the preferred email account you provided on your application.
Reminder: Tuition deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
This is the page that you'll see. It doesn't adjust to the size of your browser, so if you're on your phone or tablet, you likely won't see all of the page on your screen.
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 other options or more information, please refer to our How to Pay Tuition and Fees page.
If you haven't paid your tuition deposit, you can withdraw your application in My Lakeland.

1. To start, open the Admissions tile and click on Requests. Top screen shot is desktop/laptop and the bottom is mobile.
2. Click on Make a Request and select Withdraw Application. This is the only choice you have. The screens look slightly different on mobile and desk/laptop.
3. You'll be asked to submit a request.
4. And confirm your selection.
Once successfully submitted, you will be withdrawn automatically.
