Application | Registration | Orientation

Application

When can I apply to the JumpStart Program?

Now! You don’t need ACT/PSAT/SAT scores in order to apply. Just remember to submit them before the Application Deadline date of Thursday, December 24, 2009.

When are the SAT/PSAT/ACT tests being offered?

ACT – Check out www.act.org for information
SAT – Check out www.collegeboard.com for information
PSAT – Check with your high school

What are LBC's school codes for the ACT and SAT?

When you take the ACT or SAT, use these numbers in the school code section:
ACT: 3707
SAT: 2338

I’ve taken the ACT/PSAT/SAT Test. When will LBC receive it?

The ACT and SAT take approximately three weeks to be delivered. The PSAT score is included on your high school transcript.

I know the course is free, but are there any additional fees?

There are a few fees to be aware of :

• A $25 application fee, payable when you submit your application
• A Student Service fee of $25 per credit, payable when you Register for classes. Since most classes are three credits, the fee is $75.
• A few classes have a Class Fee. Those classes are marked in the Registration Booklet. Ask us – we’ll let you know what the fee is!

What if I want to audit a class? Is the application or fees different?

No. You still apply as if you were taking the class for credit. The only difference is that you won't get a grade for the class.

For Current students, Registration for Classes beings on Friday, June 4, 2010 at 8 am

What classes do I have to choose from?

Each year, we post a Registration Booklet for the fall semester online at the end of May, along with a Closed Course List showing the courses that are full. The Registration Booklet for the spring semester will be online at the end of November.

I’ve been accepted and I am registered for an English composition or math class. Is additional testing needed?

Possibly. We look at your ACT/PSAT/SAT scores. If the content specific score is lower than LBC's requirements, you will need to take an Online AccuPlacer test (the test takes about one hour). LBC's minimum scores are as follows:
SAT: 500
PSAT: 50
ACT: 19

Can I take a summer or winterim class?

JumpStart students are eligible to take only fall and spring classes.

Can I take an online class?

JumpStart students can participate in classes that have online components. Part of the JumpStart experience is being in class on campus, so all available JumpStart courses include classroom instruction.

Orientation

Is orientation mandatory?

Yes. Orientation is mandatory for all new JumpStart students.

When is orientation?

You can choose which date and time you prefer on the Registration Form in the Registration Booklet.
