Find information here for transferring to LCCC and for LCCC students transferring to other institutions.

The Transfer Center makes transferring an easy and effective way to complete your educational goals.  It provides information for students both transferring into LCCC and those students desiring to transfer on to other colleges and universities.  This includes:

Students Transferring to LCCC

• Students from other colleges and universities transferring to LCCC.
• Students enrolled at another college or university who plan to take courses at LCCC that transfer back to their home institution (Incoming Transient Student).
• Students from other colleges and universities transferring to the LCCC University Partnership.

LCCC Students

• LCCC students transferring to the University Partnership.
• LCCC students transferring to another college or university.
• LCCC students who plan to take courses at another college or university for credit at LCCC (Outgoing Transient Student).
• Full-time LCCC students who wish to take additional courses that are not available at LCCC at selected participating institutions (Outgoing Cross Registration).

The state of Ohio has established law and policies which guarantee transfer students the following:

• All college-level courses satisfactorily completed at one Ohio public higher education institution will be accepted at all others;
• All equivalent courses transferred will apply to a student's degree objective in the same manner as the equivalent course at the receiving institution;
• That a sub-set of a public higher education institution's general education requirements, called a Transfer Module, will transfer as a block (36-40 semester hours) in lieu of the receiving institution's Transfer Module (Click here for the LCCC Transfer Module);
• That transfer students will be treated equitably with students who started at any of the public higher education institutions;
• That appeal procedures will be provided at the institutional level and the state level to adjudicate any problems relating to the implementation of the law and policies (see Appeal Procedure).

Transfer Assurance Guides
Transfer Assurance Guides (TAGs) comprise Transfer Module courses and additional courses required for an academic major. A TAG is an advising tool to assist Ohio university and community and technical college students planning specific majors to make course selections that will ensure comparable, compatible, and equivalent learning experiences across the state's higher-education system. A number of area-specific TAG pathways in the arts, humanities, business, communication, education, health, mathematics, science, engineering, engineering technologies, and the social sciences have been developed by faculty teams.

TAGS empower students to make informed course selection decisions and plans for their future transfer. Advisors at the institution to which a student wishes to transfer should also be consulted during the transfer process. Students may elect to complete the full TAG or any subset of courses from the TAG. Because of specific manor requirements, early identification of a student's intended major is encouraged.

Course Applicability System.
The Course Applicability System (CAS) is a web-based program that allows students to keep track of and check on how their LCCC courses will transfer to other Ohio colleges and universities.  With CAS, students are able to:

• Establish a CAS account (free of charge)
• Store information on completed courses 
• Obtain information on how Lorain County Community College courses transfer to other Ohio colleges and universities 
• Request transfer guides that will provide information on
     1. how courses transfer
     2. how courses apply to intended major after transferring
     3. what courses are still needed to complete a degree after transferring 
• Obtain information on how courses from other Ohio colleges and universities transfer to Lorain County Community College

To access CAS, go to www.transfer.org or click on "Transfer Information" from the LCCC Student section on the home page.

LCCC Articulation Agreements
In addition to the State Transfer Module which ensures transfer and applicability of courses between public Ohio colleges and universities,  LCCC has secured Articulation Agreements with selected four-year colleges and universities. Articulation Agreement summaries are intended as a general guideline.  Please consult an adviser or counselor for detailed information regarding updated course articulations, curriculum changes, requirements at the transfer institution, and general assistance in making your transfer experience as seamless as possible.
