Complete Your Academic Placement
All incoming on-campus undergraduate students must complete ONE placement option to ensure they are enrolled in courses that match their current skill level and prepare them for academic success.
If you submitted a placement option during the application process, you do not need to submit it again. Questions? Contact your admissions counselor.

- Standardized Test Scores
Submit qualifying SAT, ACT or CLT scores. Scores may be emailed to admissionsoffice@lbc.edu or submitted through your admissions counselor. - Transfer College-Level Credit

The test must be completed within four weeks of receiving the code and at least one week before your SOAR or move-in date, whichever comes first.
What Happens If You Don’t Complete a Placement Option?
Students who do not complete a placement option will be enrolled in the following non-credit remedial courses:

Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989
In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989, the policy on illegal drugs and alcohol is as follows:
1. Standard of Conduct and College Sanctions. LBC prohibits the unlawful possession, use or distribution of drugs and alcohol
by faculty, staff and students on College property or as any part of College
activities.
2. Legal Sanctions. Municipal, state and federal laws strictly outline penalties – including fines and jail terms – for the illegal use, possession or distribution of alcohol and drugs.
3. Health Risks. The use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol present health risks such as addiction, acute and chronic illness and death. Other risks associated with alcohol and drug use include impaired learning, violence, injuries, accidents, drunk driving, acquaintance rape, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
4. Treatment Programs. Alcohol and drug information, referral, counseling, treatment and rehabilitation programs are available to faculty, staff and students through a variety of on and off campus resources. Some of these services and programs are without charge; others are covered by insurance or based on ability to pay.
Faculty, staff and students with questions, concerns or problems related to the use of illicit drugs or the abuse of alcohol are urged to take immediate advantage of the help that is available.
All members of the College community, however, must clearly understand that they jeopardize their education, their jobs, their health and their future if they unlawfully possess, use or distribute drugs or alcohol at LBC. Sanctions for such misconduct will be consistently enforced.
