Can I get credits transferred from another college to LBCC?
LBCC accepts college-level credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities. The guides we use for determining acceptability are Transfer Credit Practices of Designated Educational Institutions, published by AACRAO, and Practices and Accrediting Institutions of Post-secondary Education, published by ACE. To transfer credits from a college in the United States, complete a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form available on the Forms page (http://www.linnbenton.edu/go/forms), and have your previous school(s) send Admissions an official transcript. Evaluations are made only for admitted students. They are completed on a first-come, first-served basis, and results are mailed to you after the evaluation is completed. If you want to transfer credits from a foreign college or university, you must have the credits evaluated by an external evaluation service. Contact the Admissions Office for a list of approved credential evaluation services. International credentials must be evaluated by any NACES (www.naces.org) member.
