Transfer to LSCO
Transfer applicants are considered for admission based on their previous college records. Transfer applicants must be in good standing with all institutions previously attended. Students on scholastic suspension or probation must meet with an Academic Advisor. Students on disciplinary suspension from another institution must petition to the AVP for individual approval. Students transferring from a Texas public college or university are subject to the same testing requirements that apply to current students.
