LCCC Dual Admission Partnership

Students studying in libraryKing’s College and Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) have a Dual Admission Transfer Agreement that grants LCCC students guaranteed admission into a bachelor’s degree program with third year (junior) status at King’s College provided they meet the following conditions:

  • graduate from LCCC with an associate in arts (A.A.) degree or associate in science (A.S.) degree, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0
  • complete the LCCC Dual Admissions Intent Form
  • satisfy all other King’s College transfer requirements

A student admitted to King’s College under the agreement will be able to complete a bachelor’s degree in a parallel program at King’s College within four regular semesters provided that the student completed the appropriate associate degree program at LCCC and their remaining course work at King’s College full-time.

In addition to having their application fees waived, all participating LCCC students will have access to the same scholarships, financial aid, campus events, and health and wellness facilities available to other King’s College students.

Detailed eligibility requirements and student obligations are noted below:

  • All credits earned in the A.A. and A.S. degree programs will be transferred to King’s College, provided that the student achieved (a) a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 for all courses presented for the degree and (b) a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 for courses required in and offered by the major at King’s College. If the student has not satisfied both (a) and (b), the student's courses will be evaluated individually, and only courses in which a C or higher has been earned will be eligible for transfer into King’s College.
  • A minimum of 45 credits are required to earn a King’s College degree, at least 45 of which must be completed at King’s College.  Additionally, at least 50% of the credits in the major must be completed at King’s College.
  • Only credit is transferred. The grades for transfer courses are not calculated in the student's GPA at King’s College. Once credits have been transferred, they become part of the student’s permanent record and cannot be removed.
  • Students are required to sign a Dual Admissions Intent form before completion of 30 credits at LCCC. The student will be required to complete a King’s College application form prior to the intended start term, for which the application fee will be waived. King’s College has a preferred deadline to apply for the fall semester of July 1st and for the spring semester, December 1st. 
  • Students should follow the established program-to-program course sequences developed between King’s College and LCCC for the program they intend to enroll in at King’s College. Students should confer each semester with a King’s College transfer counselor to review degree progress and ensure appropriate courses are completed.
  • LCCC graduates entering King’s College under the terms of this agreement must utilize the King’s College normal transfer admissions process and therefore must meet all King’s College requirements and deadlines pertaining to application for admission, orientation and registration, and payment of tuition and fees. 
  • The following items are required for a complete transfer application (high school transcript requirements are waived for dual admission students):
    • Application (no charge)
    • Official college transcript(s) from all institutions attended
