Transferring Prior College Credit to Lane

Getting Started

Ready to get started? First step is to meet with your academic advisor to do an unofficial evaluation of your transcripts. You can also use the Transfer Tool to see how your prior college classes may transfer to Lane.

• You must be currently enrolled in six credits or more.
• You must be pursuing an associate degree and/or certificate at Lane.

Transferring credits from U.S. colleges

• The college or university must have been accredited by one of the one of the seven accrediting organizations.
• You must've earned a D or better in courses you want to transfer. (Pass/NoPass grades are only transferable when the issuing institution defines the grade as C- or better.)
• Upper-division coursework (usually 300-400 level) will be evaluated on an individual basis and may require the instructional department's review.

Please note that if you are planning to transfer to a four-year school, you may want to save your 300-400 level course transfers for the four-year school. Talk to your advisor to learn more. 

International Transfer Credits

Coursework listed on non–US transcripts may only be considered when accompanied by an evaluation from an approved service. Students may select an agency of their choice from the NACES site. A course-by-course evaluation from the evaluation service is required.

Credit for Prior Experiential learning

Credit by Assessment (CBA) and Credit by Exam (CBE) provide options for students to earn credits when a prior institution is not accredited by one of the seven accrediting organizations. A maximum of 25 percent of the program requirements can be satisfied by CBA/CBE credits. Find out more about Credit by Assessment.

Lane will evaluate any of the following learning experiences for credit depending on test and score:

• Advanced Placement (AP)
