Lakeland College

Admission requirements vary by program and every applicant must meet English-language proficiency. Some programs add prerequisites or post-acceptance conditions, so a general admission page cannot establish eligibility by itself.

Lakeland's requirements page says Lloydminster high-school students follow Saskatchewan curriculum. They must request an official transcript. Its FAQ says current or recent Alberta and Saskatchewan Grade 12 students are received automatically. So the instructions conflict.

Use the My Lakeland task list or Admissions to find out which transcript route controls your file. Accept an offer in My Lakeland. The offer letter sets any tuition deposit. If final documents are missing by the portal due date, admission can be revoked.

Many credit programs ask for a tuition deposit to confirm you're attending, and it goes toward your tuition and fees. The amount varies by program but is typically $250 or $500 for domestic students and $1,500 for international students. For 2026–27, base international tuition is $16,100, and some programs charge more. Tuition is adjusted each year under Alberta's Tuition Fee Policy, and your total depends on your program and the courses and credits you take. Paying the deposit or accepting your offer also triggers the email with your link to apply for residence, so do it early if you need a room.

The Agricultural Sciences page lists options from a one-year General Agriculture certificate to several two-year diplomas and a Bachelor of Agriculture Technology. It describes the Student-Managed Farm and animal-health facilities; check the selected program page for its campus and delivery.

The Business Administration certificate is offered face-to-face at Lloydminster or online. You may study full-time or part-time. The certificate has ten first-year courses. These courses can lead to the certificate or form the common first year for diploma study. This is subject to academic advising.

The General Business diploma states a minimum 2.0 GPA (grade point average) for completion. It offers an optional 14-to-16-week paid summer co-op application. Being eligible to apply does not guarantee selection. It does not guarantee placement, completion or later employment. Review course sequencing with the academic adviser. Do this before choosing part-time study.

Lakeland has two campuses, Vermilion and Lloydminster, and campus decides which facilities your fees reach. Vermilion's fees include the Equine Centre events arena and pool access, while Lloydminster's recreation fee includes membership at the City of Lloydminster Servus Centre. Online students pay a smaller set of mandatory fees. Check the program page for its campus before you compare costs. Some programs also add specific program fees for course costs that aren't directly tied to instruction, and these vary with your course selection.

Accessibility services include note takers, exam readers, adaptive technologies and inclusive education. Discuss the required arrangement early; the general page identifies available supports but does not promise a particular accommodation without an individual review.

Learner success strategists help with learning and study methods. The peer-tutor route lets students ask for help or become a tutor. Each campus also has a library. Online databases and interlibrary loans are available through Library Services.

The Student Life directory separately routes health, safety, Indigenous, international and online technical support. Open the relevant service page for current eligibility, delivery and contact details rather than assuming every resource works the same way.

Mandatory non-instructional fees pay for health services and counselling. That is $112, covering a nurse, counsellors and a wellness adviser. The fees also pay $77 for the Learning Commons and peer tutoring. They pay for recreation and ACAC athletics, with free admission to games. The listed totals are $389 at Vermilion, $357 at Lloydminster and $218 for online students.

The Lakeland College Students' Association charges a 2026–27 membership fee of $273 at Vermilion and $293 at Lloydminster or online. It runs events, awards bursaries and provides a $292 health and benefit plan for most full-time on-campus students, which you can opt out of with other coverage. Indigenous Support Services offers tutoring, cultural teachings, workshops and ceremonies.

Student professional support includes coaching. It also includes career-readiness workshops and interview preparation. Use those steps before you send workplace applications. But preparation does not mean you are selected. It does not mean a placement or a later job.

The WIL team also runs placement logistics. It runs employer partnerships too. It gives ongoing employer support during a placement. Ask who is responsible for what. Ask what the student, college and employer each do. Do this before you treat an opportunity as part of the academic plan.

WIL can be part of a program. But the page does not say it belongs to every program or student. Verify the format, eligibility, assessment, dates and compensation on the current program record. Do this before you commit time or costs.
