Transfer Credits

If you have earned college credit from an institution accredited by one of the six U.S. regional accrediting associations, you may transfer that credit to LeTourneau University.  The unit of credit at LeTourneau University is the semester hour.  Quarter hours will transfer at the ratio of two semester credit hours for every three quarter hours earned.

You may transfer a maximum of 66 semester hours from a two year college if you intend to pursue a baccalaureate degree at LeTourneau University.  Only freshman and sophomore level courses may be transferred from such schools and must be completed before you reach junior standing in total hours earned.  After you are classified as a junior (61 semester hours), special permission by the Director of Academic Records Services may allow a maximum of 6 semester hours in transfer from a two year college.  Transfer students should consult the residency requirements in the Academics section of this catalog to determine the number of credit hours which must be completed at LeTourneau University.

LeTourneau University only accepts transfer credits which carry a grade of at least a C or its equivalent.  If transferred courses are applicable to your LeTourneau University degree program, they will be accepted as credits that help meet graduation requirements.

LeTourneau University participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System.  The purpose of the system is to assist students who are transferring between participating institutions.  The system utilizes unique course alphabetic prefixes and numbers to identify freshman and sophomore level courses that are common between two or more member colleges or universities.  The common course identifiers appear in an index in the back of this catalog.  Courses earned with a "C" or better and which match the list are applicable to the degree plan are acceptable for transfer credit.
