What are the transfer requirements for La Valley College?

I'm considering transferring to La Valley College and I'm curious about their specific transfer requirements. Does anyone have experience with this process or know where I can find detailed information?

As a community college, Los Angeles Valley College often has open-door admissions policies, meaning they accept any student who applies. However, for specific programs such as nursing or other health professions, the admissions requirements can be more competitive, with GPA, prerequisite courses, or even in-field experience playing a role.

For the general transfer process, often, having completed a certain number of credit hours (often around 12 but could be more) at your previous institution, often with a minimum GPA (often around 2.0), are key elements for consideration.

To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to directly contact the admissions office or visit the college's website, which usually has a section for prospective transfer students. They can provide you with resources and guidance based on your specific circumstances. Also, take a look at assist.org, a student-transfer information system, if you're transferring from a California community college.

As part of your transfer planning, remember to consider meeting with academic advisors from both your current school and Los Angeles Valley College, if possible. They can provide additional guidance on course selection and make the transfer process smooth.

Example: If you're aiming to graduate from Los Angeles Valley College with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), your requirements might include finishing your prerequisites with a certain GPA, passing the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS), and applying specifically to the program. But if you're transferring to LAVC to transfer to a four-year institution, your strategy could be completing a certain number of General Education (GE) units with transferability to the University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU). Therefore, discussing your plans with academic advisors can be a significant step. Good luck!
