| Applicants
must complete and return all required forms and credentials to the
college prior to registration. Students are encouraged to apply or
update their applications well in advance of registration. Late applications
may be considered only if time permits. Delays in acceptance will
occur if application materials are received in several segments and/or
if the applicant must be reminded to submit certain documents.
Students applying for admission to Lanier Technical College must be 16 years of age or older. Applicants must be 17 years of age or older for admission into the Cosmetology and all Health programs. The President of Lanier Technical College may waive the "16 years of age" requirement for secondary students who are participating in an articulated program of study such as dual or joint enrollment. Lanier Technical College does not accept or recognize transcripts indicating a certificate of performance, certificate of attendance, or special education diplomas. A regular high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) Diploma is required as a prerequisite for entrance into some diploma and certificate programs and for all degree programs. See specific entrance requirements for individual programs. The President of Lanier Technical College may grant a waiver to the admissions requirement as it relates to possessing a GED or high school diploma for those secondary students who are otherwise eligible to enroll in a program of study that is agreed upon by the secondary school and Lanier Technical College. This may apply to students seeking dual or joint enrollment with Lanier Technical College. A high school diploma or a GED is not required as a prerequisite for entrance in all diploma programs; however, prior to graduation from a diploma program at Lanier Technical College, all students must receive either a high school diploma or a GED. An applicant who does not have a high school diploma or GED, and who wishes to apply for financial aid, may demonstrate eligibility for entry to those programs not requiring a high school diploma/GED if the applicant achieves acceptable scores on the Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) ASSET Examination as well as acceptable program entry scores. Passing the ATB exam does not take the place of having a high school diploma or GED for those programs that require a diploma or GED as a prerequisite for admission purposes. The U.S. Department of Education guidelines specify that the minimum passing scores for HEA Title IV grant, loan, or work assistance eligibility for ATB students is a scale score on the ASSET admissions exam. If these scores are not met and the student does not have a diploma or GED, he/she is not eligible for the Federal Pell Grant or Federal Work Study. Applicants must be physically able to attend school. In some programs, a student who has a physical condition that would limit participation in a class/lab should provide a written statement from a doctor indicating the student's ability to perform all class/lab requirements.
