Unless TSI Exempt, all students take the TSI assessment to enroll. To learn more about the pre-assessment (required prior to testing), test options and fees, exemption criteria and remote/online testing, see the Placement Test Preparation website for more details.

The bacterial meningitis vaccination requirement must be satisfied at least 10 days prior to attending classes that include a face-to-face component taught at an LSC campus. Students who are enrolled in classes that are taught fully online are exempt from this requirement.
