3. How do I get a transfer credit evaluation?
We make it easy to understand how your previous coursework fits into your LVC degree. Before you even apply, you can request a free preliminary transfer credit evaluation—no commitment required.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Transfer up to 90 credits from an accredited institution.
- If you’ve earned an associate degree (AA/AS), at least 60 credits are guaranteed to transfer.
- Use our Transfer Evaluation System (TES)* to see how your classes may count.
*TES reflects historical transfer data. Transfer credit evaluation is subject to change through the official credit evaluation process. Don’t see your institution? Request a preliminary transfer credit evaluation.

In Their Words
Transferring to LVC has been such a meaningful step for me. From the beginning, I was looking for a place where I could feel supported both academically and personally—and LVC has truly delivered on that. The sense of community here has helped me grow in ways I never expected.

When I visited LVC, right away my experience felt very different from any other college tour I had been on. I was expecting a tour similar to the tours I had been on before where you get lumped into a large crowd of students to briefly view the campus and its professors. Instead, my tour of LVC was incredibly personal, and for the first time, it made me feel like a college was genuinely interested in what I could offer as a student.

I transferred to LVC from Lehigh Carbon Community College after earning my associate’s in communications. Only an hour away from home and hosting a student body smaller than my high school, I easily said “yes” to the quaint charm of LVC’s campus. In just two years of attending LVC, I felt so connected to my professors, advisors, peers, and the rest of campus staff.
