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