Transfer Guidance Element What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion Completion of a transferrable Associate's degree will award students credit for general education requirements except for the senior capstone course.

No distinction will be made by the University of Lynchburg regarding college courses applicable to the transfer-oriented associate degree that are taken through dual enrollment arrangements with high schools.
Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School No distinction will be made by the University of Lynchburg regarding college courses applicable to the transfer-oriented associate degree that are taken through dual enrollment arrangements with high schools.
Credit for Prior Learning Credits awarded for transferrable courses with a grade of "C" or higher.
Did You Know That...
  • Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree?
  • Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: University of Lynchburg
