Transfer Application Steps

Transfer students are traditional age students (24 years or younger) who have completed or are in the process of completing 12 or more college credits after graduating from high school.

To transfer to LC, you must be in good academic and social standing at the school you are transferring from, and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for all college courses.

Competitive applicants typically have successfully completed college level coursework in mathematics (at or above the Algebra II level), English composition, history for western/world civilizations, and any additional general education subject areas. The admissions committee may consider both your high school and college record when reviewing your application.

Step 1: Apply

Apply online or download the paper application.

Application Deadlines

Fall semester: May 31
Spring semester: December 15

Applications submitted after these deadlines will be considered depending upon space availability.

Step 2: Submit Your Application Materials

Send the application materials with your application, or separately via mail.

The following are required in order to complete your application:

• Official college transcripts
  Transcripts must be mailed directly from the registrar's office of each college/university you have attended. Concealing previous attendance at a post-secondary institution is considered an honor code violation and will result in the cancellation of your application and admission.
• Official high school transcripts or GED results
  Required only if you have taken less than 25 credit hours of graded coursework at the college level.
• Official SAT or ACT scores - or both
  Required only if you have taken less than 25 credit hours of graded coursework at the college level. Scores may be waived if you graduated 2 or more years ago.
  LC school codes: SAT 5372, ACT 4368
• $30 application fee (for paper applications only)
