A graduate of an accepted high school or a person holding a high school equivalency diploma (GED) may be admitted to Lackawanna College.

• Students without current SAT scores (must be less than three year’s old) or students with SAT’s scores of 410 and lower in each of the three sections (Critical Reading, Writing, and Math) will be required to take the Lackawanna College Assessment Test. The Office of Admissions will determine need for assessment during the applicant’s admissions interview.

Re-Admission

• A student who has previously studied at Lackawanna College and desires to return for part-time or full-time study after an absence of two semesters or more must apply for re-admission, pay all fees and attend orientation prior to his/her return.

Transfer Student

• Before a student can be considered for transfer evaluation, he or she must apply to the College as a matriculating student and submit the application fee. The student must then request that official transcripts be forwarded to the Admissions Office at Lackawanna College.  Previous coursework will be evaluated in direct relation to the student’s declared major.  Only credits earned within the last 20 years with a grade of C or above are considered eligible for transfer evaluation by the Registrar.
