Are you interested in attending the College of Lake County?  Do you have questions about the admission and enrollment process?  This list might have your answer!  If not, please see Mrs. Noonan in the College and Career Center, or contact Ariana Galvez, our CLC recruitment representative.

Question:  Where can I send my SAT scores and my transcript?

To the Admissions office!

Email: admissions@clcillinois.edu

CLC does not require a student’s SAT score to be official from SAT. Do NOT pay the $12 to send your score.  See your counselor for help in sending a copy of your score.

Question:  What SAT score(s) do I need to place into college-level courses?

SAT scores

• If a student has a 470 minimum on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section, the student does not need to take the placement test.
• If a student has a 530 minimum in Math, he/she does not need to take the placement test even if they didn’t take Geometry.
• These are general guidelines. Scores could vary by program.

Question: What do the course codes mean?  How do I know if a course will transfer to a 4-year school or not?

Course codes

• Even digit in the middle (121, 242, etc.) = transferable course to a 4-year school, the course description will also say 1.1 if transferable.
• Odd digit in the middle (131, 211, etc.) = career course not meant to be transferable, the course description will also say 1.2 if non-transferable.
• Zero in the middle (101, 102, etc.) = developmental/non-credit
