Entrance Requirements

Applicants must complete and return all required forms and credentials to the college prior to registration. Students are encouraged to apply and complete their admissions file 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 or be dually/jointly enrolled high school students in the 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grades. Applicants should refer to the Program of Study webpages for complete information about age requirements for the program.

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 High School Equivalency transcript such as the GED, HiSet, or TASC is required as a prerequisite for entrance into diploma and degree programs, and for most certificate 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 in high school initiatives such as Dual Enrollment with Lanier Technical College.
