We’re glad you’re interested in attending LBCC. The steps to apply are different depending on which path you choose to take.


Option 1: Take Courses to Earn a College Degree or Transfer to a University

If you’re working toward a degree or certificate, intend to register for six or more credits, or have applied for financial aid, you must complete the admission process. As a fully admitted student, you will be eligible for priority registration as either a full-time or part-time student and be considered for federal financial aid, if you applied. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. For all programs, the college reserves the right to give higher priority to district residents.

Here are the steps to apply:

Step 1: Submit your application.
If you are an international student or want to only take one class, create a WebRunner account instead.

Step 2: When prompted, select the Application Type that best meets your academic goals.

Step 3: After completing your application, someone from the LBCC Admissions Office will email you.

Step 4: Complete the new student orientation.

Step 5: Register for classes.
