Individuals with permanent resident status may be admitted under the same circumstances as any other eligible student. They must complete the following requirements in addition to the admission procedures for new students:

Furnish an official English translation of all secondary and postsecondary records and an evaluation of those records performed by an independent evaluation service. Documentation of U.S. high school equivalency is required for most programs.

Students with foreign transcripts must have their transcripts translated and evaluated. (Your records must be translated & evaluated indicating that they are equivalent to a United States High School diploma or higher).

The credential evaluation company must be a member of NACES.

Note: Lanier Technical College does not issue I-20 VISAs.

Provide appropriate program readiness scores. If the student has not previously tested on one of Lanier Technical College's readiness assessments, contact the Office of Admissions to schedule a time for the ACCUPLACER placement exam.

Students who are not US citizens or permanent resident aliens who can provide documentation of lawful presence in the United States shall pay foreign tuition which is four times the in-state tuition.
