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.
Upon acceptance to our main campus degree program, to be considered an enrolled student at LIM College each student is required to submit a $500 enrollment deposit and a Tuition Agreement Form. For students entering in the fall, the $500 deposit is fully refundable until April 30. From May 1 through July 31, 50% of the deposit will be refunded; after July 31 the deposit is non-refundable. For students entering in the spring, the deposit is fully refundable until December 15; after that date it is non-refundable. Students who defer their enrollment will have their enrollment deposit reapplied to their entry semester and it becomes non-refundable.

Admissions Policies
Submission of Official Documents
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 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, documents 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 services 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 Graduation Policy
Graduate students must provide proof of college graduation (an earned bachelor’s degree or its equivalent). Failure to comply with this policy will result in the student’s status being changed to non-matriculated until the requirement is met. For international students, failure to comply may result in loss of f-1 visa status.
Proof of graduation is identified as one of the following:
- A final official College transcript received sealed with a graduation date and may contain a signature or seal (may be raised or not raised)
- An official diploma which LIM College personnel photocopy
- Digital proof of graduation received via email from a school official, or through an approved third-party vendor
Students who do not submit proof of graduation 30 days before the start of the term will submit a liability form. For students studying on a F-1 visa, submission of the form acknowledges that if adequate proof of graduation is not received by the end of the add/drop period, the student will be in violation of their F-1 status and will be subject to F-1 visa termination. For all other students, submission of the form acknowledges that if adequate proof of graduation is not received by the end of the add/drop period, their status will be switched to non-matriculated and will be ineligible for financial aid until the requirement is met.
Admission Decision Rescindment
LIM College reserves the right to rescind the admission of any student for the following reasons:
- The student does not provide final official proof of undergraduate degree
- The student self-reports a GPA that differs from their official undergraduate transcript(s)
- Different information is provided on the admissions application and the FAFSA and cannot be reconciled.
- There is evidence of an omission or dishonest statement on the college application
