Admissions and Enrollment Management. Certification must be either an academic transcript from an accredited college or a letter on official letterhead from the police academy completed.

Transfer of Credit
Whether a U.S. citizen or an international student, the following principles relating to the transfer of credit earned at one institution to another institution apply.
Coursework transferred or accepted for credit toward an undergraduate program must represent collegiate coursework relevant to the formal award, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in LSCC’s undergraduate formal award programs. In assessing and documenting equivalent learning and qualified faculty, LSCC uses recognized guides, which aid in the evaluation for credit. Such guides include those published by the American Council on Education, The American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Office of Admissions Officers, and the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs. 1. A course completed at other regionally or Council on Occupational Education accredited post-secondary institutions with a passing grade will be accepted for transfer as potentially creditable toward graduation requirements. 2. A transfer student from a collegiate institution not accredited by the appropriate regional association or Council on Occupational Education may request an evaluation of transfer credits after completing 15 semester hours with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above. 3. A transfer grade of “D” will only be accepted when the transfer student’s cumulative GPA is 2.0 or above. If the student has a cumulative 2.0 or above the “D” grade will be accepted the same as for native students. 4. A transfer student from a post-secondary institution which is not regionally accredited may petition the Office of Admissions and Enrollment Management to have coursework evaluated for transfer credit after earning 15 semester hours at LSCC with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above. The Office of Admissions and Enrollment Management along with the appropriate faculty will examine course descriptions from the respective college catalogs to ensure that the equivalent of course content, level of instruction, and student competencies to be achieved are comparable to courses offered at LSCC. 5. Credit may be extended based on a comprehensive evaluation of demonstrated and documented competencies and previous formal training. (See Section on Prior Learning Assessment).
