Transfer Credit Policy

At the London School of Management and Technology (LSMT), we recognise the importance of flexibility in higher education, allowing students to transfer credits from previous institutions. Our transfer credit policy is designed to assess each request on a case-by-case basis, ensuring a tailored approach to credit evaluation. Below are the key components of our transfer credit process, including guidelines for students interested in transferring their academic credits.

Consultation Before Enrollment:

  • Pre-Enrollment Guidance: Students considering the transfer of credits are strongly encouraged to consult with our admissions advisors before enrolling. This consultation will help clarify which credits may be transferable and ensure a smooth transition into our academic programmes.
  • Accredited Institutions: We accept transfer credits from accredited institutions, both within the United States and internationally. This broad acceptance reflects our commitment to recognizing quality education from diverse educational backgrounds.

Credit Evaluation Process:

  1. Official Transcript Requirement: To initiate the transfer credit evaluation, students must provide an official transcript from the institution where the credits were originally earned. This document is essential for our admissions team to assess the legitimacy and relevance of the modules.
  2. Module Alignment and Level:
    • Credits will be evaluated based on the level of the modules taken, whether they are undergraduate or graduate, and their alignment with our curriculum.
    • For undergraduate programmes, only modules classified as undergraduate-level will be considered for transfer. Similarly, graduate-level modules will be evaluated for transfer into graduate programmes.
  3. Syllabi and Module Content Evaluation: Our experienced admissions professionals will meticulously review the module syllabi, content, and other relevant materials submitted by the student. This evaluation process is crucial to determine the equivalency of the modules and their applicability to our programmes.
  4. Community College Credits: For students transferring from affiliated community colleges, there may be guaranteed transferability to equivalent LSMT programmes. This provision facilitates a more straightforward transition for students coming from these institutions.
  5. Additional Documentation: If an applicant’s modules are deemed ineligible for transfer, we will require a high school or secondary school transcript to assess their eligibility for admission into LSMT’s degree programmes.

Important Considerations:

  • Finalization of Transfer Credits: All transfer credits will be finalized only after the student has been officially accepted into a degree programme at LSMT. This ensures that all credits have been evaluated and approved as part of the admissions process.
  • Policy Update: Please note that the current transfer credit policy has been in effect since January 1, 2022, superseding any previous policies. It is important for students to be aware of these changes when considering their transfer options.
  • Cross-Institutional Transfers: While LSMT strives to facilitate credit transfers, it is crucial to note that credits earned at LSMT may not necessarily transfer to other institutions. Therefore, students planning to transfer to another school should verify the acceptance of LSMT credits with the prospective institution in advance.
