Your previous experience may help you get your degree or certificate faster at LRCC!
Once you are enrolled as a matriculated student in one of LRCC’s academic programs, you can meet with one of our team members to learn more about how to apply for transfer credit and/or credit for prior learning.
Transfer Credit
Credits for college courses taken at another accredited institution or CCSNH campus with a grade of “C” or higher. View a list of previously evaluated courses from other accredited institutions.
Credit for Prior Learning
Credit for prior learning may be assessed in several ways. Select the option that is most relevant to your experience:
Credit may be granted to students with military training, experience, or coursework that is recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE) based on the program the student is entering.
LRCC recognizes the College Board Advanced Placement Examination Program as a means of evaluating student eligibility for advanced placement. Matriculated students who have participated in the AP Program and who have been admitted to LRCC should have official AP grade reports forwarded directly to the LRCC Admissions office. Upon receipt of students’ AP reports, the Registrar’s Office will access the grade and evaluate for transfer credit. The minimum score to receive credit varies from 3 to 5. No credit is awarded on any AP exam score of less than 3.
