Lebanon College: small classes make an enjoyable adult learning experience

Lebanon College has an open admissions policy with the exception of certain allied health programs. When the College receives all appropriate application materials and fees, the applicant will be admitted into the chosen program based on demonstration of ability to do college level work. For more information on a specific program, contact the Admissions Office. It may be strongly recommended that an accepted student take or test out of remedial or prerequisite courses in science, math or writing, if strengthening in those areas is indicated before registering for major core courses. The credits earned by taking these courses do not count towards graduation requirements.

The College retains the right to deny admissions to any applicant who does not complete the application process in a timely manner, is unable to actively participate in his/her program of study or appears to pose a threat to or be likely to endanger the College community. That assessment is made by the office of the Academic Dean.

Non-matriculated students who wish to take courses, but not enter into a program may register for any class without benefit of a high school diploma or GED. All students, regardless of matriculated or non-matriculated status must meet the requirements for any class that has a prerequisite.

Students under the age of 16 need special permission to enroll at Lebanon College. Contact the Admissions office for more information.
