Transferology is a nation-wide network designed to help students explore college transfer options. It offers course and credit equivalencies and the ability to create plans to know how courses transfer to participating colleges and universities. Not all institutions may use Transferology, so it is important to work with an advisor at both LSC and the four-year institution you are interested in.
Feel free to us these Transferology Instructions to help you navigate their website.
The MN Transfer website has a number of planning resources to help students plan out their program paths with many resources provided by the Minnesota State system. LSC’s Articulation Agreements can be found here. Students are encouraged to declare they are following an articulation agreement upon transfer to a university.
