Our Partners and Programs
How to Get Started
Admission, registration, financial aid and payment for courses/programs offered at Lorain County Community College through the University Partnership differ with each institution. Students interested in a specific program should schedule an appointment to meet with the advisor for the program.
Check the UPcoming Events list for the schedule of events hosted by the UP or our UP partners with transfer opportunities and academic program information. Get involved!
2+2 and 3+1 Programs
Many University Partnership programs let you take up to three years of course work at LCCC and then finish upper-level courses through the partner institution. These programs are called 3+1 programs. Other programs require you to follow more traditional route, completing the first two years at LCCC and then moving on to the partner courses. These are called 2+2 programs.
Our LCCC academic advisors and transfer coordinator are here to help you choose the program type that best fits your academic goals. The UP advisors and transfer coordinator can assist you in making academic decisions with flexibility in mind, so you can balance work, family, or personal obligations while pursuing your goals.
