Transfer Credit Information
Credits earned in colleges and universities accredited by regional accrediting associations are accepted by the university. Credits earned in some non-accredited institutions are accepted on a limited basis. The dean of the college offering the degree determines the extent to which accepted credits are applied toward a degree. Evaluations of courses will not be made in advance of receipt of the completed application and official transcripts from each college and university attended. Not more than one-half the credits required for a degree may be accepted from a two-year college (except one within the LSU System) unless specifically authorized by the student's dean. Courses taken at the freshman and sophomore levels at two-year colleges (courses at the 100 and 200 level) may not be counted for transfer credit in upper-level courses (any course numbered 300 or above).
Information regarding articulation agreements between LSUS and area community colleges is available on the Board of Regents website: http://www.regents.la.gov/Reports/datapub.htm.
If you have specific questions regarding transfer credit equivalencies, please contact the LSUS Transcript Evaluator at (318) 797-5058 or the academic department offering the courses you wish you transfer.
