The College of Lake County (CLC) has an open admissions policy, meaning it accepts all applicants who meet basic requirements. As a community college, CLC does not publish a traditional acceptance rate because nearly all high school graduates or GED holders are admitted.
Prospective students must submit an application, high school transcripts or equivalent, and may need placement tests. While enrollment is accessible, some programs have competitive admission due to limited seats. CLC’s inclusive approach supports its mission to provide affordable education and workforce training to diverse learners in Lake County, Illinois.
