Lewis and Clark Community College credit transfer process

Does anyone know how the credit transfer process works from Lewis and Clark Community College to other institutions? I'd like to take some courses there but want to ensure they'll count towards my degree elsewhere.

The credit transfer process can vary depending on the institution you're planning to transfer to from Lewis and Clark Community College. However, it generally involves a few common steps.

First, you'll need to check with the institution you plan to transfer to, regarding their credit transfer policies. Some universities have particular agreements with community colleges, known as articulation agreements, which allow for a smoother transfer of credits.

Next, look into the specific courses you plan on taking at Lewis and Clark Community College and see if these courses have equivalents at your target institution. It would be helpful to reach out to an advisor or a representative from the registrar's office at both institutions to discuss this.

Once you've confirmed that your courses are likely to transfer, maintain good academic standing in those courses, as it's generally necessary for credits to transfer. After you complete the courses, you typically need to request an official transcript from the Lewis and Clark Community College registrar to be sent to your target institution.

Lastly, after the transfer institution has received and evaluated your transcript, they'll decide how many of your credits they'll accept and which of their requirements those credits fulfill. If you find that some of your credits were not accepted, you can usually appeal this decision by providing course syllabi or other course material that proves the courses are equivalent.

Keep in mind that it's always a good idea to start this process well before you plan to transfer, as it can take time to receive and process transcripts. And remember, while many institutions accept transfer credits, it's usually at their discretion, so it's important to confirm ahead of time.
