UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER CREDIT

A student applying for advanced standing after having attended another accredited institution shall send an official transcript to the Admission Office. If requested, the student must provide copies of course descriptions and/or syllabi. The Registrar’s Office will determine whether credits are transferable to Lebanon Valley College. Credits are accepted for transfer provided the grades are C– (1.670) or better and the coursework, including expected learning outcomes, is equivalent to or consistent with Lebanon Valley College curricula and standards. Transferred courses count for credit hours only and are not factored in the grade point average. Transfer institutions within the United States must be regionally accredited or hold accreditation from other, non-regional accreditors recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Coursework from non-regionally accredited institutions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis subject to the above requirements and, if applicable, may be accepted as elective credit. Coursework may satisfy Constellation LVC or major requirements with approval of the director of curriculum and the appropriate department chair, respectively. Institutions outside of the United States must be recognized as a degree-granting institution in its home country. A course-by-course evaluation of all foreign university transcripts by an independent service based in the United States is required for international transfer students. A candidate for admission holding an associate degree from a regionally accredited college can be admitted with full acceptance of coursework at the previously attended institution. However, coursework in the major field for which the applicant has received a D shall not count toward fulfilling the major requirement. Because Lebanon Valley College is a liberal arts institution, consideration of full acceptance of the associate degree will be granted with the understanding that the candidate has followed a basic course of study compatible with the curriculum and academic programs of the College and has been enrolled in a transfer program. A total of 60 credits will be accepted for an associate degree. A maximum of 90 credit hours will be accepted toward a baccalaureate degree. Lebanon Valley College has established transfer articulation agreements with Harrisburg Area Community College, Lehigh Carbon Community College, and Reading Area Community College.
