Visit www.linnbenton.edu/go/majors for a list of Programs of Study and which degrees and certificates are available.
Complete an application and submit it, along with the $25 application fee, to the Admissions Office in Takena Hall. Note: If you are under 18 years of age, you must provide proof of high school graduation or GED completion. If you wish to attend part-time (less than 12 credits per term), you can skip the next two steps.
Call the Student Assessment Center (917-4781) to schedule a College Placement Test (CPT). After you complete the CPT, we will mail you an acceptance letter with the date and time of your orientation/advising appointment.
Attend your orientation/advising session at the assigned time or complete online orientation.
Register for classes by using the SIS (the Student Information System) on the Web or register at the Registration Counter in Takena Hall.

The application is available only online. The $50 application fee must be paid for with your credit card.
I want to transfer credits from another college to LBCC
LBCC accepts college-level credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities. The guide we use for determining acceptability is Transfer Credit Practices of Designated Educational Institutions, published by AACRAO, and Practices and Accrediting Institutions of Post-secondary Education, published by ACE.
To transfer credits, have your previous school(s) send Admissions an official transcript and complete a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form. Evaluations are completed only for admitted students. Evaluations are completed on a first-come, first-served basis. Evaluation results are mailed to you after they are completed.
If you wish to transfer credits from a foreign college or university, you must have the credits evaluated by an external evaluation service. Contact the Admissions Office for a list of approved credential evaluation services.
International credentials are to be evaluated by any NACES (www.naces.org) member.

I’m under 18 – can I take classes at LBCC?
If you’re not yet 18, haven’t completed high school, and don’t have a GED certificate, you must file an Underage Enrollment form before you can take a credit class. (Forms are available at the Admissions Office/First Stop Center and from high school counselors.) Call 917-4753 for details.
To take a noncredit class, you do not need to submit an Underage Enrollment form, but you do need the instructor’s permission. If you are denied by the instructor, you may submit the form to be reconsidered for that specific course.
If you’re under 18 and want to start taking GED classes, you must provide evidence of release from compulsory attendance or home schooling, or you must be referred by your high school through use of the Underage Enrollment form
