Transfer Credit Requirements
The Lancaster County Career & Technology Center will only accept credits for courses completed at an institution that is accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or whose acceptance is required by a state or federal approving agency. The student must have received a final grade of “C” or higher for the course to be transferred. Transferred courses are recorded on the student record/transcript with a “T” (transfer credit) in place of merit grade. These classes do not factor in the student’s GPA. Courses must have been completed within five years of the start of the program. BIO 150, DEN 130, and Body Structure and Function must have been completed within 12 months of the start of the program in order to transfer.
Students must have an official transcript from the institution(s) where courses were taken. Students may be required to provide course description or course syllabus. The registrar will evaluate all transcripts and will notify students during the admissions process as to which classes meet our credit transfer requirements.
Due to the nature of the hands-on programs at the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center, students cannot easily transfer from one program to another. If a student decides they would like to transfer to another program, they will have to apply to that program and follow the admissions process for that program. In addition, a student who wishes to transfer to another program may have to withdraw from their current program, due to the overlapping of class times and requirements.
It is the student’s responsibility to investigate the transferability of credits with the institution to which they seek to transfer credits. Each institution has their own credit evaluation criteria, and students should know their credit transfer policy before signing an enrollment agreement. The Lancaster County Career & Technology Center does not guarantee credit transfer to any other institution.
