Transcript Evaluation & Credit Transfer
Course evaluation & credit transfer requirements

Post

College-level coursework completed at another regionally-accredited college or university may be applied to 海角社区certificate, degree, or general education certification requirements.

Official transcripts received by 海角社区Admissions and Records from other institutions (e.g. other community colleges or universities) will be automatically evaluated if 1) the student has met with an 海角社区counselor to create a Student Educational Plan and 2) the student is enrolled in at least one course at LBCC.  NOTE:  US Veterans and 海角社区Student Athletes will automatically have outside transcripts routed for evaluation.  Students may schedule a counseling appointment to create an educational plan at:  /counseling.  Students may have their official transcripts emailed to admissions@lbcc.edu.  Students will receive an email (LBCC uses the email provided by the student on their 海角社区application) when their transcript has been routed for evaluation and when their transcript evaluation is complete.  Students who have questions about their transcript evaluation or this process can email the 海角社区Transfer Center at transferacademy@lbcc.edu.  Additional supporting documentation may be requested by 海角社区faculty in order to evaluate coursework.  Students should be sure to monitor their email for requests from 海角社区to ensure timely completion of transcript evaluations.

Transfer Evaluation System

The 海角社区  is available to help determine if courses taken at other schools are comparable to 海角社区 courses, based on faculty review. Students pursuing a course of study for transfer to a CSU or UC should also refer to , the official repository of Articulation for California public institutions (community colleges, CSU, UC).

The information contained in these pages may be subject to change and do not serve as a guarantee of transfer credit. Every effort is made to ensure listings on the following pages are accurate. For clarification of any information please contact the Articulation Office. The pages do not take the place of a counselor. Students must complete the Transfer Evaluation request and meet with a counselor to officially apply transfer credits to their program of study at Long Beach City College.

Please note the following guidelines when viewing the Transfer Evaluation System (TES).

  • The curriculum at 海角社区and other schools can change over the course of time, meaning courses from other institutions may not be comparable to an 海角社区course year to year. Because of this, it is extremely important to look up courses based upon the year in which they were actually taken.
  • Courses not yet reviewed by 海角社区will not be displayed on this site.
  • Meet with a counselor to discuss your external credits, preferably after the Transcript Evaluation process is complete.

How to look up comparable course listings

  1. Find the school you wish to compare a course within the listings.
  2. Select the course you wish to compare. If a course equivalency is listed, be sure to check the Begin and End Dates for the years the course was reviewed. If the course was completed outside the stated date range, it will be reviewed by staff or faculty when your request is submitted and based on the year the course was completed.

If a course is marked as  鈥淣o Comparable Course,鈥 this means that 海角社区has reviewed the course and either does not offer a similar course or the material differs from that taught at LBCC. Such courses could possibly still be used as electives or towards general education requirements. To verify if a non-comparable course meets the requirements, please meet with a counselor.

General Education Reciprocity

Coursework completed at another college or university may also meet an 海角社区general education (GE) area even if the course is not directly comparable to an 海角社区course. When possible, GE coursework will be granted area credit based on the requirements it fulfilled at the sending school at the time it was taken. However, the GE requirements of the previous school must be comparable to those of LBCC. Please note that this standard does not extend to graduation proficiencies (e.g. Writing, Mathematics).
