Admission Policy

As stated in its Catalog, Lee College is an open admissions, two-year, lower-division undergraduate institution. Persons who have diplomas from accredited high schools, General Education Developmental (GED) certificates, and/or have earned college-level credits at other accredited colleges may enroll on a regular basis. International students who meet state requirements may also enroll on this basis.

Persons who have not graduated from accredited high schools, including those who dropped out prior to graduation, those who are currently enrolled in high school, and those who were (or are being) home schooled may apply for admission on an Individual Approval (IA) basis.

While the college maintains an open admissions policy, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requires First-Time-In-College (FTIC) students at publicly funded colleges and universities to demonstrate their skill levels in reading, composition, and mathematics. In practice, this means that students may be asked to take placement tests, particularly in mathematics, after they have been admitted to the college. The Lee College Counseling Center can provide information regarding the TSI testing requirements and offers placement tests on a walk-in basis.

Last, while the college is an open admissions institution, some programs within the college (e.g. nursing and the honors program) have entry requirements. The entrance requirements for these programs are described in the Catalog.
