• An official transcript of your high school or secondary school record, translated into English, if necessary.

• Two recommendations (one must be academic).

• SAT I or ACT scores are recommended.

• Personal essay on a topic of your choice (250 word minimum).

• International applicants currently studying in the US, must submit a copy of their current I-20 Form and complete the Lasel College Transfer Report. 

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis upon submission of all of the above information.  Candidates who are admitted to the College will be asked to submit a non-refundable deposit of $200 by May 1 to secure a place in class.  An additional $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure on-campus housing.  Upon receipt of this deposit, the I-20 will be issued.  Candidates seeking spring admission are advised to complete this process prior to January 1.
