undergraduate bulletin - LaGrange College

LaGrange College prefers SAT scores but will accept ACT scores. Test results should be sent
directly to LaGrange College, preferably by March of the student's senior year of high school.
The Admission Committee may request additional materials from an applicant or require an
interview to gain a better understanding of the student‘s potential for success in a challenging
academic environment. The Office of Admission notifies applicants of their application status
shortly after review by the Admission Committee. Admission to the College requires satisfactory
completion of academic work in progress.
LaGrange College values personal integrity in our community. Our students sign an Honor Code
statement pledging not to lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate these unethical behaviors in others.
Recognizing the importance of adherence to the Honor Code, the Office of Admission extends
this principle to our application process. Any student who omits or falsifies material details in the
application for admission will not be admitted or the offer of admission may be revoked.
After an offer of admission is extended, candidates wishing to accept the offer of admission are
asked to submit a tuition deposit. The tuition deposit reserves space for the student in the
incoming class. The amount of the tuition deposit is $100 for commuting students and $200 for
residential students. The $100 deposit will be placed on the student‘s account for the first
semester. The additional $100 for residential students serves as a room reservation deposit and
will reserve a space in the residence halls for the student. The tuition deposit is fully refundable,
provided that the student submits a written request to the Office of Admission by the following
dates:
May 1 for Fall semester
December 1 for the Interim (January) term and Spring semester
LaGrange College encourages interested students to visit the campus. Individual appointments
may be scheduled by contacting the Office of Admission at 1-800-593-2885 or by e-mail at
admission@lagrange.edu. Please contact the Office of Admission at least one (1) week prior to
the day the student intends to visit.
