During the meeting with an academic counselor, you will discuss your academic goals, learning style, and past work and/or college experiences and how these relate to Lakeland’s Adult Accelerated Degree Program.

Students can be admitted to the program at any point before or during the semester; however, the admission process must be completed a minimum of ten days prior to the session start date.

Once all admission materials have been received, you will receive notification of your admission status.

If you have questions about the application process, the Adult Accelerated Degree Program Office can help. You can contact them via email or by phone at 440-525-7510.

Orientation

Adult Accelerated Degree Program students are required to attend an Orientation prior to the start of classes.

During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet other Adult Accelerated Degree Program students and discuss strategies that will assist you throughout your studies in Adult Accelerated Degree Program. You’ll learn ways to help maintain the balance between home, work and school. What additional resources are available to you as a Lakeland student? Orientation will familiarize you with addition resources such as the library and tutoring and how they can help you succeed in school. Most importantly, during Orientation, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with students just like you and start to form the bonds that will remain long after graduation.

Orientations are held during the week prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters.

Registration

Once you have been notified of acceptance into the Adult Accelerated Degree Program program, you are eligible to register for Adult Accelerated Degree Program courses.

Students have the option to complete their registration for the entire semester at one time or submit course registrations throughout the semester.
