Transfer Equivalency and Agreements

The reverse transfer agreement between Luzerne County Community College and MU seeks to identify and provide the mechanism for students to transfer from MU to LCCC credits such students previously earned from MU and apply such credits towards applicable LCCC degree requirements. LCCC will evaluate these credits and when LCCC determines that all requirements are met, LCCC shall award such students an associate degree.

Misericordia students who have earned a minimum of 30 credits at LCCC are eligible to have corresponding Misericordia credits transfer back to LCC with the intention of fulfilling the remaining requirements for an associate degree. Misericordia will provide transcripts to participants in this agreement at no charge to the student. Interested students should contact Graceann Platukus at gplatukus@luzerne.edu.

Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) and Misericordia University (MU) have entered into a Dual Admission Agreement to facilitate the transfer of LCCC students to MU.
