Will My Credits Transfer?

Transferring doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ll accept up to 90 credits toward your LVC bachelor’s degree. If you earned an associate’s degree prior to enrolling at LVC, we guarantee that we will accept at least 60 credits.

Wondering which of your credits will transfer?

Estimate your credits using the Transfer Evaluation System (TES)*

Or, we are happy to provide you with a preliminary transfer credit evaluation.

In Their Words

Welcome And Wanted
When I visited LVC, right away my experience felt very different from any other college tour I had been on. I was expecting a tour similar to the tours I had been on before where you get lumped into a large crowd of students to briefly view the campus and its professors. Instead, my tour of LVC was incredibly personal, and for the first time, it made me feel like a college was genuinely interested in what I could offer as a student.
