Open Admissions Policy:
Leech Lake Tribal College has an Open Admissions Policy; this means you can enroll if you have a high school diploma or GED. Our Open Admissions Policy also means you do not have to be American Indian or descendant to attend, we welcome all to enjoy in our learning! Open Admissions also means that your High School grades and class rank are not considered when accepting students. Upon acceptance to LLTC you will take a placement test, which will determine if you need to take remedial/developmental courses before taking college-level courses.
Please understand that it is your responsibility to request official and unofficial transcripts from colleges that you have attended, as LLTC is not responsible for transcript fees or services. If you have further questions or would like to request information, please contact the Admissions Staff by phone: 218-335-4286, or by email: admissions@lltc.edu, or stop into Student Services Monday through Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm!
We look forward to seeing you on our beautiful campus!
Go Lakers!
