Nursing Admissions
Applicants for the two-year Nursing program, which begins each fall term, must submit an application, and other college transcripts by a specified date; complete LBCC’ s reading portion of the Computerized Placement Test( CPT); and complete MTH 095 Intermediate Algebra, WR 121 English Composition, BI 231 Human Anatomy and Physiology, and have a valid Oregon CNA license.

How to Get Started— Registration
Registration Office Takena Hall 115, 541- 917-4811
To Register for Classes If you are a continuing, admitted student, you will be assigned a priority registration time each term based on the number of credits you have earned at LBCC plus your currently registered LBCC credits. See the quarterly Schedule of Classes for registration times and information about the registration process.
Pre-registration advisor contact is strongly recommended for the following students:
• all new students
• students sponsored by agencies
• students on probation or having academic difficulties
• students who are changing their major or who have questions regarding the courses they should take to meet program requirements
• transfer students in transfer programs
• students considering application to special admissions programs
Students who have not completed the admission process, can register for 0 – 8 credits during Open Registration times. You will be asked to use your Social Security number as your initial student identification number to complete the Student Data form. A student ID will be generated for you. You may view this number on your WebRunner student account.
Wait List Procedures If a class is full, you may sign up for available Wait List openings. You are charged tuition for a Wait List registration. You will not be billed if you are not registered in the class by the add / drop deadline. Prior to the first day of class, students are automatically moved from Wait List to registered status as space becomes available. To find out whether you have achieved“ registered” status, view your status in your WebRunner student account. During the Add period, an instructor can add you from the Wait List to the class by signing a Schedule Change form( also called an Add / Drop form), which you then submit to Registration before the Add deadline( Monday of Week Two). Late registrations are subject to a $ 25 fee. Instructors may drop you from the Wait List if you do not attend the first day of the class. If you are still on the Wait List on the last day of the Add period, you will be dropped from the Wait List and your tuition for that class will be refunded. Refunds are made after the Add / Drop period is over.
How to Understand Course Numbers All lower-division transfer and career and technical courses are taught at a college level. Courses with letter prefixes and numbers of 100 or higher( for example, WR 121, BI 103, MTH 111) usually transfer to a four-year institution. Courses numbered 100 – 199 are considered freshman-level courses, and those numbered 200 – 299 are sophomore level.
Letter-prefix courses that have numbers below 100 or numbers that include a decimal point( for example, MTH 065 or BA 2.530) generally will not transfer to a four-year institution. However, there are some exceptions; see your advisor concerning transferability.
You are not limited to taking all transfer or all career and technical classes; you may mix and match them depending on your program. Consult your advisor.
If a course number is changed from a career and technical number to a transfer level number, the transfer level number will appear on your permanent record only if you took the class after the change was approved.
Prerequisites
Many courses require pre-requisites( other completed courses) prior to enrolling. Check the“ Course Description” section of this catalog for prerequisites before you register. If you are uncertain about whether you have met a specific prerequisite, check your unofficial transcripts in your Webrunner student account, ask your advisor or the instructor of that class. If you have not met the prerequisite, you may be prevented from registering or withdrawn from the course.
If you have completed an LBCC class with a grade of“ C” or better, then take a class that is clearly identified as a prerequisite to it, the credits will not count for graduation. If you register for credit in such a course, you may be disenrolled. Any exceptions must be authorized in writing to the registrar by the appropriate faculty member and dean or designee.
To Change Your Schedule
To change your schedule in any way, you may use your WebRunner student account or submit a Schedule Change at the Registration Office. For classes that require an instructor’ s signature, you must submit a Schedule Change at the Registration Office.
