ADDITIONAL DEGREE
A student may attain up to three degrees at the Community College. These degrees
are in the following areas: Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or Associate
in Applied Science.
In order to qualify for an additional degree, the student must meet the requirements
of the additional degree plus have completed thirty credits over and above
the total amount required for the original degree.
Students can be awarded two diplomas for the same degree area, however, they
must complete all the requirements for that degree area plus 30 additional credits
over and above the original degree. These thirty credits must be taken at LCCC.
In addition, students may be awarded a certificate of specialization, upon the
completion of an associate degree, in any area as long as that certificate results
from the completion of at least fifteen additional credits over and above the associate
degree. These credits must be related to the curriculum represented by the certificate
of specialization.
SUMMER SESSION(S)
All courses offered during each Summer Session require the same hours of
attendance and are granted the same credit as those offered during a regular
semester.
Summer attendance permits academic acceleration of students enrolled during
the regular college year and also provides an opportunity to make up scholastic
deficiencies.
Students regularly enrolled at another college or university who plan to attend
a Summer Session at this College must complete the AUTHORIZATION FOR
TRANSFER OF CREDIT and return it to the Admissions Office.
The Summer Session Schedule is prepared in late Spring and is made available
to anyone desiring more detailed information regarding courses to be offered and
admissions procedures.
SUMMER SESSION(S) AT
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
A student of this College who wishes to attend summer school at another college
or university must secure advance permission from the Office of Academic
Affairs. This provision is for the protection of the student to make certain that proposed
courses will be acceptable to Luzerne County Community College. Such
courses must correspond to those offered by this College.
The student should note that only such courses as are approved may be accepted
for advanced credit. A grade of “D” or above must be achieved in order for
a course to be accepted.
TRANSCRIPTS
No transcript of the student’s record will be sent to any person or organization
with the exception of authorized officials of the College, unless the student has
requested such transcript in writing.
