Acceptance and Enrollment at LIM College
Official notification of an offer of admission can only be made by an Admissions Office administrator. An email will be sent to the student from the Admissions department that includes official notification of acceptance.
A letter or email from a faculty member, student, or staff member outside the Admissions Office does not constitute an official offer of admission. Official notification will not be communicated via social media or telephone.

Admissions Policies
Transcript and Official Documents Process
Applicants must submit an official transcript from the institution from which they hold an undergraduate degree. Transcripts may be requested from all other colleges or universities attended at the undergraduate or graduate level to make an admissions decision. Official transcripts and other proof of graduation documents may be delivered by mail, email or through a third-party service, such as Naviance or Parchment. To be considered official it must come directly from the issuing institution or third-party service. Official documents should bear an official stamp or official wet or electronic signature. LIM College reserves the right to approve other third-party servicers.
If documents are from another country, they may need to be submitted to an education credential evaluation service to determine U.S. degree and GPA equivalency. All documents not written in English must be submitted along with a certified English translation to an evaluation agency approved by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
Proof of College Graduation Policy
Students must provide the Office of Admissions with proof of graduation. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the student’s status being changed to non-matriculated until the requirement is met. For international students, failure to comply may also result in loss of F-1 visa status.
