Lakeland Community College will grant students transfer credit for courses completed at other colleges and universities according to criteria specified by administrative academic procedures. To be recognized, transfer credit for courses must be earned at an institution which is accredited by an accrediting agency that is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or by the U.S. Department of Education. For a foreign institution, the institution is recognized by CHEA or a government or nongovernmental agency which is responsible for quality review of higher education institutions in that country.
