"John Lennon wrote, 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.' LCC has, and continues to make life happen for their students. As a student, I'm often just concerned with getting through the day-to-day plans, but everyone from the instructors to the staff at LCC is dedicated to helping keep me on track to achieve my goals. There's an atmosphere of caring and a dedication to success here that sets the school apart, and the students benefit from that. I'm getting a lot more than just an academic education here, I'm getting a future."

The Lexington Community College (LCC) is located on the Lexington campus of the University of Kentucky in the John W. Oswald, Richard P. Moloney, Sr., and Academic Technical buildings, and occupies space in other facilities assigned in terms of its needs and program offerings.
As an independently accredited community college, the University of Kentucky Lexington Community College offers:
Grades, credits, quality points and academic status from courses taken at the Lexington campus of the University of Kentucky or other community colleges in the University of Kentucky Community College System are transferred when the student enrolls at Lexington Community College. Degree credit work completed at fully accredited institutions outside the University of Kentucky System is recognized credit hour for credit hour. Quarter hours are recognized as two-thirds of a semester hour. Grades, quality points and academic status from courses taken outside the University of Kentucky System are not transferred when the student enrolls at Lexington Community College.
NOTE: The score from the TOEFL must be at least 500, and the results must not be more than eighteen months old at the point of initial enrollment. The TOEFL code for Lexington Community College is 1474. For information concerning the TOEFL, contact Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6154, Princeton, NJ 08541-6154, USA.

Important notes: (1) Students in nondegree seeking status are permitted to take only six credit hours per semester.

(3) Nondegree students who later decide to become degree-seeking must submit all required documents (ACT scores, official high school transcript or GED scores, any college transcripts, and any necessary international student documents) before admission. (4) Any student who wishes to take course work in either English or math will be required to take a placement test or show evidence of successful completion of prerequisite college courses.
All beginning freshmen are strongly encouraged to apply as degree-seeking students. Beginning freshmen who apply as nondegree are required to submit a high school transcript or passing GED results in order to demonstrate that they are prepared to take the desired course(s). Students taking up to six credit hours of technical course work may request to have this requirement waived by filing a petition with the Dean for Student Affairs prior to the deadline to apply for a regular semester or summer term.

Admission Guidelines for Health Programs
Students in health programs may be required to have certain laboratory examinations prior to experience in certain clinical facilities. Each student accepted for admission to a health-related program requiring patient contact must show evidence of professional liability insurance before enrolling in the program. The amount will be determined by Lexington Community College. Certain programs may require that a high school transcript or GED certificate be submitted.
Each applicant must submit the following credentials and complete the special requirements by February 15, 2002, in order to be considered for admission for the summer or fall 2002 health programs:
There must be sufficient breadth and depth in the curriculum to meet the needs, interests, and abilities of all students. A general education core curriculum will ensure that the Lexington Community College will graduate well-educated men and women who are intellectually flexible, articulate, creative, and prepared for continuous growth. For all students, this implies some understanding of the world of work and career fields and an understanding of their own abilities, interests, and needs. The general education core curriculum will also help students to develop their own values, to pursue goals, and to contribute to the political, moral, social, and cultural enrichment of society.
