undergraduate bulletin - LaGrange College

successfully exited the program prior to evaluation by the Admission Committee. Members of
Phi Theta Kappa may qualify for academic scholarships reserved for members of this society.
When transfer applications are accepted, the Registrar will review and evaluate all coursework
taken at institutions outside of LaGrange College. Assignment of transfer credit is based on
course descriptions from the submitting institutions, recommendations from the academic
departments, and previously established equivalencies already in place. The report, indicating
courses and credit hours for which transfer credit will be accepted by LaGrange College, will be
mailed to the student prior to registration for the upcoming term. If the student does not agree
with the awarded credit for a particular course, he/she may petition the academic department
offering the course.
Currently, the college does not give transfer credit for experiential learning and professional
certifications, nor does it award credit for course work taken on a noncredit basis under any
circumstances.
Transient Admission: Students currently enrolled in good standing at another college may
enroll at LaGrange College as transient students. Approval of coursework must be authorized by
the primary institution on the Transient Application for Admission, which is available in the
Office of Admission. A permission letter from the student's home institution certifying status and
granting permission for specific transient coursework may also be sent.
Non-degree Undergraduate Admission: Students not working toward a degree may register as
non-degree undergraduate students in any course for which they have the necessary
prerequisites. An application for non-degree undergraduate student status may be obtained
through the Office of Admission. Students classified as non-degree undergraduate students may
become regular, degree-seeking students by meeting requirements for regular admission. No
more than six (6) credit hours earned under this classification may be applied toward a degree.
Readmission to LaGrange College: Following an absence from LaGrange College of three (3)
or more semesters, or following any period of time during which a student was not in good
standing during the last term in attendance at LaGrange College, or in the case of any student
wishing to return to attempt additional coursework, submission of an Application for
Readmission is required. This form is available in the Office of Admission. Any student absent
from LaGrange College for 2 semesters or less, who was in good standing when he/she last
attended LaGrange College, may re-activate his/her file in the Registrar‘s Office. These students
do not need to apply for readmission.
In the event that a student seeking readmission has attended another institution as a transfer
student (not transient) since he or she left LaGrange College, then the student, if readmitted, is
treated as a new transfer student. Students fitting this description are subject to the Bulletin in
force at the time of transfer back to LaGrange College. Students who have not attended another
institution are generally governed by the Bulletin in force at the time of their initial admission.
However, students who have been out of school for four (4) calendar years or more re-enter
LaGrange College under the Bulletin in force at the time of readmission and resumption of study.
