Transferring the Core Curriculum

A student successfully completing the Core Curriculum at Lamar State College Port Arthur may transfer that block of courses to any other state-supported institution in Texas. 

When transferred, the receiving institution must substitute the block of courses for its Core Curriculum. A transferring student shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional Core Curriculum courses at the receiving institution.

A student who transfers from Lamar State College Port Arthur to another institution without completing the Core Curriculum receives academic credit within the Core Curriculum of the receiving institution for each applicable course transferred. Following receipt of credit for these courses, the student probably will be required to satisfy the remaining course requirements in the Core Curriculum of the receiving institution.

To eliminate the possibility of being required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution, students are strongly encouraged to complete the entire Core Curriculum at LSCPA before transferring.
