Applicants are considered first-time freshmen if the students’ first enrollment at a college/university will occur at Lincoln upon graduating from high school or if they earn college credit before high school graduation.

To address the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic directly impacting students ability to take or retake standardized tests, we have developed a tentative test-waiver option for first-year students. The Lions Ignited For Triumph (LIFT) program provides students with the opportunity to waive the SAT or ACT test score requirement for admission.

Applicants are considered transfer if the student is a  high school graduate or GED recipient who has registered or enrolled at a college, university, or earned college credit upon graduating from high school.
