View Institution Transfer Agreement

Community College of Philadelphia has three types of transfer agreements with La Salle University: dual admissions, core-to-core and program-to-program. To benefit from any of these agreements students must earn an appropriate associate degree before transfer. These agreements are not exclusive of one another and the agreements can complement one another.

Dual Admissions

La Salle University and Community College of Philadelphia have developed a dual admissions agreement. This agreement is designed to assist students who earn an appropriate associate degree to transfer to La Salle University. La Salle University guarantees admissions on the condition that students meet all the requirements.

Admissions into a particular major is not guaranteed. Upon transfer, students earn junior standing for matching majors. Support and financial incentives, including scholarship awards, are built-in to offer students the best opportunity for success.

Dual Admissions Eligibility

Students who do not qualify for dual admissions, are still eligible to transfer to La Salle University. Please review the list of approved programs below and visit with a Community College of Philadelphia academic advisor or counselor for further assistance.

Core-to-Core

La Salle University and Community College of Philadelphia have a core-to-core agreement. In this, La Salle University’s core is essentially fulfilled by the degree requirements at Community College of Philadelphia.

La Salle University recently changed its core curriculum. While La Salle University previously required one course in each Philosophy and Religion from dual admission students, they will now only require one, REL 100: Religion Matters, which is an interdisciplinary study of religion and theology. This class is only offered at La Salle University. This change will impact students entering La Salle University for the Fall 2019 semester and for all dual admission students moving forward.

This core-to-core agreement applies only to students who participate in dual admissions. Core-to-core transfer does not alter the requirements of the student's major field of study.

Program-to-Program

These are agreements in which an entire curriculum or program of study is accepted, so graduates of these specific associate degree programs transfer with advanced standing to a matching specific bachelor's degree program at La Salle University.

Dual Admissions Eligibility

La Salle University welcomes applicants to the Dual Admissions Program in order to facilitate the transfer of students from Community College of Philadelphia to La Salle University with third-year (junior) status for the purpose of entering the bachelor's degree program.

To be eligible for this program, students must:

• Submit a dual admissions intent form before earning no more than 45 graded college level credits (grades of A, B, C, D, F) from Community College of Philadelphia or any other college/university. Once a student has completed this form, they are strongly encouraged to meet with a La Salle University admissions representative and a Community College of Philadelphia academic advisor or counselor to develop a course-taking strategy.
• Complete the La Salle University admissions application within the last semester at the Community College of Philadelphia. Nursing applications are due February 1 for full time day applicants and March 1 for the Achieve (evening and weekend) program.
• Graduate from Community College of Philadelphia with an Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in one of the approved programs listed.
• Achieve a minimum Community College of Philadelphia cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. Nursing applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a science GPA of 3.0. Nutrition majors are required to possess a cumulative GPA of 2.75. (Additional requirements for nursing majors are noted below.)
• Enroll directly to La Salle University within one year of completing an associate degree program of study from Community College of Philadelphia and not attend another institution between graduation and attendance at La Salle University.

To submit a Dual Admissions intent form, login to MyCCP and find “Transfer/Dual Admissions” on the top right side of the MyGPS tab.

NOTE:

• Students who have previously been matriculated to La Salle University are not eligible for the La Salle University dual admissions program.
• A full-time student admitted with third-year (junior) status to La Salle University will be able to complete most bachelor's degrees at La Salle University within four regular semesters provided the student completes the appropriate associate degree program at Community College of Philadelphia and completes the appropriate sequence of their remaining course work at La Salle University. Certain majors may require more than 20 courses.
• A maximum of 70 credits will transfer to La Salle University and students must complete a minimum of 50 credits, including at least half of the requirements in the major or area of specialization, while at La Salle University. 
• Except for Nursing students, transfer credit will be awarded for courses with a grade of “C” or above for any and all courses transferred to the major at La Salle. The nursing program requires grades of “B” in the appropriate courses; see section “La Salle University’s Nursing Program” for details. Courses with grades of “D” will transfer as elective courses or as stipulated by the student's degree.
