General Policy
 
 
     
The admissions policy and procedures of the Georgia Board of Technical and Adult Education and Lanier Technical College assure the citizens of Georgia equal access to the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to secure personally satisfying and socially productive employment. By design and implementation, the policy and procedures governing admission to Lanier Technical College are nondiscriminatory to any eligible applicant regardless of age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender, creed, political affiliation or belief, disabled veteran, veteran of the Vietnam era, citizenship status (except in those special circumstances permitted or mandated by law), or disability.

Individuals with permanent resident status may be admitted under the same circumstances as any other eligible student. They must complete the following requirements in addition to the admission procedures for new students:

  1. Furnish an official English translation of all secondary and postsecondary records and an evaluation of those records performed by an independent evaluation service. Documentation of U.S. high school equivalency is required for certain programs.

Students with foreign transcripts must have their transcripts translated and evaluated. (Your records must be translated & evaluated indicating that they are equivalent to a United States High School diploma or higher.) You may use one of the following credential evaluation companies:

http://www.jsilny.com
http://www.wes.org
http://www.educei.com

-or any other evaluation firm that is NACES accredited
 
  2. Provide ASSET, SAT, ACT, COMPASS, or CPE scores. If these scores are not available, report when scheduled for the admissions placement test. Note: Lanier Technical College does not issue I-20 VISAs.


Lanier Technical College is committed to an "open door" admissions policy. This policy means that any qualified applicant able to benefit from our curriculum will be served by the institution on a first-applied, first-qualified basis. Some programs may use a competitive admission process. Entrance requirements are flexible enough to allow a student opportunity for admission into a specific program. This can be accomplished when the student demonstrates aptitude and ability for a program as determined by satisfactory academic performance, placement tests, and other appropriate evaluations, when deemed necessary, to determine general fitness for admission.
