Transfer Admission: Students attending another institution may apply for transfer to LaGrange
College, provided that they are eligible to return to their current institution at the time of entry to
LaGrange College. A student may be accepted conditionally under the standard criteria for
conditional admission. Prior to the student‘s admission to LaGrange College, the Office of
Admission must receive all necessary documents, including official transcripts of all college
coursework. Any applicant who intentionally withholds information about college coursework
previously attempted, either by failing to report that coursework or by failing to provide an
appropriate transcript, will be subject to a revocation of any admission or scholarship offer(s)
extended by LaGrange College. Accepted applicants may enroll at the beginning of any
semester.
LaGrange College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, telephone: 404-679-
4501) to award degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor
of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Education, Master of Arts
in Teaching, and the Specialist in Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Accordingly,
the college accepts coursework from similarly regionally accredited colleges and
universities.
Academic credit is normally given to students for grades of "C-" or above. Acceptable credit
from a two-year institution is limited to 60 semester hours. Students enrolling from other fouryear
institutions may be able to receive up to 81 semester credits but LaGrange College
residency requirements, the core curriculum, and appropriate major coursework must be
satisfied. Transfer students who have attempted any developmental-level coursework must
provide evidence that they have completed all requirements and successfully exited the program
prior to evaluation by the Admission Committee.
For those transfer students who have earned a previous bachelor‘s degree, LaGrange College
accepts a maximum of 81 semester hours, which leaves a minimum of 39 semester hours to take
at LaGrange College to satisfy the minimum residence requirement and reach the necessary 120
semester hours to receive a degree from LaGrange College. CORE requirements as well as
Interim Term requirements are considered satisfied; however, a requirement of ten (10) Cultural
