Credit

Students enrolled at LLCC are eligible to have credits from other colleges/universities, as well as military credits, evaluated for acceptance by LLCC and posted on the LLCC transcript. It is the students’ responsibility to request evaluation of these credits. The LLCC Admissions and Records Office evaluates credit according to the following conditions:

• The student must be admitted to LLCC.
• The student must request from each college/university attended (and the military) an official transcript and those transcripts must be received by the Admissions and Records Office.
• Upper-division courses that are the equivalent of freshman- and sophomore-level courses can be evaluated to satisfy the requirements of an AAS degree program with the approval of the appropriate program director and/or department dean/associate dean.
• Official transcripts from all schools previously attended may be submitted for evaluation at LLCC by any student who intends to earn any LLCC degree.
• Only coursework from regionally accredited colleges/universities is evaluated.
• Developmental coursework is not evaluated for credit.
• Courses that are “waived” at other colleges/universities are not evaluated for credit.
• Religious courses of a sectarian nature are not evaluated for credit.
• Using as a reference The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, published by the American Council on Education, some credit earned in service schools may be accepted as transfer credit at LLCC, if the credit is applicable to the student’s curriculum.
• These types of transcripted courses with credit issued are evaluated for acceptance:
  1. courses with letter grades A, B, C, D, P for passing, or S for satisfactory; and
  2. correspondence and telecourses
• Credit by examination, in the form of CLEP (College Level Examination Program), AP (Advanced Placement) or Proficiency, are evaluated for acceptance if properly submitted by the student.
• All courses accepted for transfer to LLCC, and courses with failing grades, are used to calculate the student’s cumulative grade point average for graduation purposes.
