Transfer Agreements
To better encourage and facilitate the transfer of Lehigh Carbon Community College students to Temple University, Temple and Lehigh Carbon Community College have established the following transfer agreements:
Dual Admissions
The Dual Admissions agreement between Temple and Lehigh Carbon Community College conditionally admits students to Temple at the same time they are admitted to Lehigh Carbon Community College, and provides the opportunity for merit scholarships to Temple for eligible students. Interested students must enroll in the Dual Admissions program before completing 30 credits, including credits from any colleges previously attended. Students are then admitted to Temple upon attaining their associate's degrees at the community college. Click here for more information about Dual Admissions with Lehigh Carbon Community College.
GenEd-to-GenEd and Core-to-Core Transfer Agreement
Core-to-Core and GenEd-to-GenEd Transfer agreements accept -- upon Temple evaluation and approval -- the general education requirements of approved associate degrees in lieu of Temple's Core or GenEd requirements. Students entering Temple with an approved Associate degree are identified upon admission to or enrollment in the University and their fulfillment of the General Education by a GenEd Transfer Agreement is noted on pertinent student records.
