	1.	All students must complete the Application for Admission. All requested information on the application must be provided.

B. Readmission
Former students of LBWCC who have had a break in attendance (with the exception of summer terms) will be required to update an admission application form. If these students have attended college elsewhere during this period, official transcripts are to be mailed to the Office of Admissions, Box 1418, LBW Community College, Andalusia, AL 36420.
Note: All student records not related to a students permanent academic record will be destroyed five years from the last date of attendance.

It is recommended that high school seniors planning to enter the fall semester submit their applications between February 1 and May 30; applications may be accepted, however, before and after these dates.
