Certificate
To earn a certificate at Lincoln Land Community College, each student must:
- satisfy all admission requirements;
- successfully complete all courses required for the specific certificate program with the required semester hours of credit;
- achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better for all course work taken at Lincoln Land Community College and/or accepted in transfer;
- earn one-third of the required semester hours for the certificate by successfully completing Lincoln Land Community College credit courses;
- discharge all financial obligations to the college; and
- apply for the certificate by completing a Program Completion Contract (graduation application).
Academic requirements may change with each edition of the college catalog. Students who are continually enrolled may elect to graduate under any catalog at or after initial entry. Students whose enrollment has been interrupted for two or more academic years must follow the graduation requirements of the catalog at the time of re-entry or any catalog published after re-entry. However, in fields of rapid change (e.g., certain technical areas), academic administrators may require completion of courses in more recent catalogs so as to ensure currency. Every effort will be made to notify students and count earlier coursework in a way most beneficial to the students to fulfill current requirements.
