Transferring to Lakeland (Graduate)

• Students who wish to transfer to Lakeland from another graduate program must be in good academic standing and must complete general graduate admission and any program specific admission requirements.
• Each Director of the respective graduate program may review and grant the transfer of nine (9) semester hours of relevant graduate coursework from accredited institutions of higher education.
  • Transfer courses earned should meet the minimum grade standard of each program.
  • Enrollment should be (10) years prior to application to the graduate program unless an exception time waiver is available for the program.
  • Grades earned at other colleges and universities are not included in the Lakeland University GPA.
  • Credit previously earned as quarter hours undergoes a conversion to semester hours at Lakeland University.
  • Transfer courses are added to the Lakeland transcript upon matriculation to the program.
  • Evidence of English proficiency. This may be demonstrated by completion of a high school degree or equivalency in English or earned a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours of transferable post-secondary coursework taught in English. If the applicant does not have evidence of English proficiency, refer to the information outlined in the international student admission section.
• Any prospective student who has already earned a comparable graduate degree is not eligible for admission to Lakeland University’s equivalent graduate program.
