Admissions Requirements

The University has a selective admissions process — the objective of which is to identify men and women who have the highest potential for advancement in their chosen field of study. While the Freshman student applicant’s academic record is a reliable measure for the prediction of academic success, the admissions decision is more complex than admitting students on the basis of a numerical formula. With this intent, Lawrence Tech considers, in addition to the applicant’s previous academic record, factors which demonstrate an aptitude for successful study.

Freshman Undergraduate Requirements

1. A completed application for admission with the non-refundable fee
2. Official high school transcripts.  If the student is currently attending high school when accepted to Lawrence Tech, the student must make arrangements to have a final official copy of the transcript sent to the Lawrence Tech Admissions Office upon graduation;
3. A high school diploma or GED equivalent;
4. Generally, a minimum of a 2.50 GPA in academic subjects with a 2.00 GPA or better in academic subjects that pertain to the desired program of study.  Academic subjects include language, literature and social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences. Admission into associate degree programs requires a GPA of 2.00 or better in individual academic subjects and an overall GPA of at least 2.00.  Honors and advanced placement scores are taken into consideration with your GPA.  If you take AP tests please submit your scores and refer to our AP Guide sheet;
