undergraduate bulletin - LaGrange College

Desirable electives include additional academic courses in languages, mathematics, and the
sciences. A basic understanding of using computer applications such as Microsoft Word is also
encouraged.
LaGrange College invites home-schooled students to apply for admission. In addition to the
items requested for first-year admission, home-schooled students are asked to provide two (2)
letters of recommendation. Please note that family members may not submit letters of
recommendation.
Students holding a General Education Development (GED) (High School Level) may be
considered for admission, although they will generally not be accepted to the College prior to the
year in which their class would have normally been eligible for admission to the College.
Applicants must submit GED scores in addition to the certificate. Students possessing a GED
must also submit either SAT or ACT scores as a part of the application process. The SAT or
ACT requirement may be waived for students who are at least 24 years of age. Submission of a
GED certificate and scores do not automatically guarantee admission to the College.
ADMISSION STATUS
A number of factors are considered in making an admission decision, including a student's grade
point average, difficulty of coursework, standardized test scores, extracurricular and cocurricular
activities, recommendations, and admission essay. Students may be accepted to
LaGrange College in one of several categories.
Regular Admission: Most students offered admission to LaGrange College are accepted with no
stipulations, other than successful completion of their current academic coursework and proof of
high school graduation.
Provisional Admission: In some cases a candidate who appears to meet the standard
requirements for admission may experience delays in obtaining required documents. At the
discretion of the Admission Committee, a student may be granted Provisional Admission
pending receipt of required documents. Upon submission of the documents, the student will be
granted regular status. All documents must be submitted within 30 days of matriculation.
Conditional Admission: In some cases candidates for admission may meet most of the criteria
for admission but still not qualify for regular admission. At the discretion of the Admission
Committee, such students may be admitted on probation. Students admitted on probation must
meet the minimum stated grade point average requirement based on their class level in order to
be removed from probationary status.
Joint Enrollment: LaGrange College encourages qualified twelfth-grade students to consider
simultaneous enrollment in LaGrange College and their high school. Georgia high school seniors
may also wish to consider participating in the Georgia Accel Program. Students wishing to apply
for the joint enrollment program or Georgia Accel Program must submit the following materials:
