Transferring Your Credits

Applying is easy. You can make it even easier by preparing for the process.

If you are interested in getting your transcripts evaluated or have further transfer questions, please schedule a virtual appointment with the Transfer Coordinator: apply.ltu.edu/virtualtransferappointment. Please come to the appointment with a copy of your college transcripts ready to be reviewed. 

Michigan transfer resources

LTU has many ways to make your transfer process as successful as possible! Below are helpful resources to help plan your transfer to LTU or search specific transferable courses from community colleges in Michigan.

Lawrence Technological University is a signatory partner in the Michigan Transfer Agreement. In order to fulfill and satisfy the Michigan Transfer Agreement, transfer students must complete all coursework with a 2.0 GPA (or grade of a “C” or higher). Students who wish to pursue the MTA must complete the following categories of coursework:

  • 1 course in English Composition (students are strongly recommended to take the college equivalent to College Composition).
  • 1 course in Communication (a technical or business writing/communication course is strongly recommended to satisfy this section).
  • 1 course in Mathematics
  • 2 courses in Social Science (from different disciplines).
  • 2 courses in Humanities and Fine Arts (from different disciplines, and excluding studio and performance courses).
  • 2 courses in Natural Science (from different disciplines, with one course must having a lab).

 

Please Note: Lawrence Technological University has many programs that require higher-level general education courses in math & science. For students completing the MTA, students are required to complete the higher-level requirements if they plan on entering programs that require these types of courses.

Lawrence Tech is excited to participate in MiTransfer Pathways.  MiTransfer Pathways identify courses that a student should take as a part of an associate degree that will transfer to the university of their choice toward a bachelor’s degree. Faculty from across the state have identified courses students may complete at a community college during their first and second year which will transfer smoothly to the corresponding bachelor degree program at all participating universities.  Completion of the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) along with the identified pathway courses is recommended.

If Lawrence Tech is in your future transfer plans, please refer to the documents below that will outline the courses for each pathway. We encourage you to use the transfer guides in our Transfer Evaluation System (TES) as an supplemental tool.

The Michigan Transfer Network allows students and advisors to view transfer course equivalencies between many Michigan colleges and universities.  You can search for courses by sending institution (the institution where you completed the course) or by the receiving institution (the institution where you plan to transfer the course).  This information is provided as a resource to identify potential transfer credit and is not an official credit evaluation or a guarantee of transfer credit.

Articulation agreements

Articulation Agreements are used by transfer students who have earned a degree at another college or university and wish to transfer credits earned to a Lawrence Tech degree program. Listed below are the Articulation Agreements Lawrence Tech has set with other colleges or universities. Students must earn a “C” or better in a course for transfer credit to be considered for that course. All Articulation Agreements are in PDF Format.

Transfer Evaluation System (TES)

The information provided in the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) database is meant to serve as a guide. For transfer students, an official evaluation of transcripts will be completed at the time of admission. Current students seeking guest credit should complete a credit review request and submit it to the Credit Review Committee. If this process is not followed, credit may be denied regardless if the course is listed as transferable.

The TES database is an ongoing project, subject to frequent revisions. Courses not found in TES may still be eligible for transfer credit.

Our Fall 2024 catalog is currently under review, so the course equivalencies below may not be accurate. Please reach out to admissions@ltu.edu in the meantime to have your transfer credit reviewed or to get advice on which classes to take at your home institution that will transfer over in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once accepted, transfer credit is evaluated and emailed to you in about 2 weeks. If you want to preview your transfer credit now, you can use the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) below to see what classes have previously been approved to transfer into LTU.

Students can transfer up to 60 credits from regionally accredited two-year institutions and 90 credits from accredited four-year institutions. In the case of the combination of a community college and a four-year institution, no more than 60 credits can come from the community college. Students coming from an institution that has an articulation agreement with Lawrence Tech may transfer more credits.

Lawrence Tech’s Office of Admissions will  review each course in your college and/or university transcripts for which you have earned a grade equivalent to a C or better, evaluating the coursework to see how it applies to your chosen major. Courses that are listed on the transcript as in progress will be reviewed once an updated transcript is available. You will get your transfer credit evaluation sent to you via email after you have been admitted. If you don’t see a course on the evaluation that you believe should be on there, please let your Admissions Counselor know and provide a course syllabus so they can check with the appropriate academic department as necessary.

Flowcharts are divided by each academic semester, although it is not always required to follow that exact plan. Once your transfer credit is evaluated, you will work with your academic advisor to register for your first semester courses. Find the flowchart for your program

General elective credit hours vary depending upon your major. Majors with general elective credit include: Business Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science (except Game Software Development), Information Technology, Mathematical Sciences, Media Communication, Physics, and Psychology. Details can be found by checking your flow chart for your major. Apprenticeship, trade, remedial, physical education and basic study courses are not transferable.

Students wishing to use their military experience for transfer credit must submit an official Joint Services Transcript (JST) or an official transcript from Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) for review. Only work in the Military Course Competitions category will be reviewed. Courses in the Military Experience category tend to be specialized and do not have college credit recommendations by the American Council on Education (ACE).

Lawrence Tech does not have a general education block as described in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), but supports the principles of the agreement and will evaluate the individual courses in the block for their role in meeting the requirement for a transfer student’s chosen degree.

Can’t find your course?

If a course does not appear in TES, it just means we have not evaluated it yet and there is still a chance of eligibility for transfer credit. Once you fill out the admissions application and send in official copies of your transcripts, an evaluation will be done. Students will receive an evaluation of coursework within a few weeks of admission.
