Transfer to LCCC

Students transferring to LCCC from another college or university.

Any qualified student who has attended another college or university is welcome to attend LCCC as a student.  An official evaluation of transfer credit will not be completed until the student has been admitted to LCCC, has submitted official transcripts from all attended post-secondary institutions and has completed an LCCC Transcript Evaluation Request form.  A student wishing to enroll prior to the receipt of official post-secondary transcript(s) is subject to the same requirements as any entering student as described in the LCCC Catalog.

Only credits and hours are transferable; previous grade point averages or grades do not transfer.  Transfer credit is granted for college-level and some technical courses earned at regionally accredited institutions of higher education for which students receive a grade of "C" or higher.  Credit received on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory or credit/no credit basis will be evaluated using the same process as graded courses.  LCCC translates satisfactory or credit as the equivalent of the student having passed the class.

A transfer student who is under academic probation at another college or university may be admitted as a Probationary Student.  A student's record is subject to review by the Committee on Admissions and Scholastic Standing.

Steps to admission include:

  1. Complete all LCCC admission procedures prior to requesting evaluation of college level and/or military transcripts.
  2. Complete and return the Transcript Evaluation Request form to the LCCC Records Office.  Each Transcript Evaluation Request is valid for three months from the date of receipt. If transcripts are not received within the three month time limit, your future ability to register for LCCC classes may be limited or denied.
  3. You are required to request an official transcript from the appropriate official of each separate institution of higher education attended.  Complete a Request for Official Transcript form (included in the Transcript Evaluation Request form) for each institution you attended.   This includes;
        In-state college transcripts
        Out-of-state college transcripts
        International transcripts
        Military transcripts (DD-214, AARTS, NOBE, ACE)
        AP/CLEP transcripts 
  4. The transferability of credit is awarded by the LCCC Transfer Center office.
  5. You will receive a Notification of Credit Accepted letter from the LCCC Transfer Center when your evaluation is completed.  Your evaluation becomes part of your permanent student achievement file.
