Enrollment at Other Institutions

Students enrolled at Lawrence Tech may not take courses at other colleges and universities after admission to LTU and expect those credits to transfer without the prior written permission of the Credit Review Committee.

Students should complete the Request For Guest Credit Approval form and submit to the Registrar’s Office at least one month in advance. The Credit Review Committee meets every two (2) weeks (less frequently in the summer months) and reviews each request individually. The Registrar will then send a letter to the student informing him or her of the Committee’s decision.

Courses taken in violation of this policy will be denied transfer credit. For those courses approved, the student must receive at least a 2.0 in the course to have it transfer back to LTU. It is the student’s responsibility to have the official transcript sent to the Registrar’s Office at LTU. Until the official transcript arrives, the credit will not be placed on the student’s transcript and may prohibit the student from registering in other courses for which the guest credit course is a prerequisite.

In addition, only the course will transfer to LTU, not the grade. Lastly, approved guest credit courses may not be transferred back to LTU to be used in grade point average recomputation.

Students are expected to complete all courses for a Lawrence Tech degree at the University once they have been admitted. Transfer credit is generally not given for courses taken at other institutions after enrollment at LTU, unless those courses cannot be completed at the University.
