Full-Time or Part-Time Status

full-time or part-time depending on the number of credits taken during the
semester. Full-time status consists of having twelve credits per semester or
more and part-time status consists of having less than twelve credits. All fulltime students should contact the Office of Admissions at (570) 208-5858 and
all part-time students should contact the Center For Lifelong Learning at (570)

Requirements to transfer from LCCC to
King’s College
A student does not have to obtain an associate’s degree in order to be accepted to King’s College. Transcripts are evaluated on a course by course basis.
The following standards have to be met in order for a transfer to take place:
1.A “C” average (2.00 cumulative average based on a 4.00 system) is the
minimum requirement for admission into most liberal arts programs; a
2.50 average is the minimum requirement for entrance into a natural
science, accounting, computer science, or computers and information
systems curriculum; a 3.00 average is the minimum for the teacher’s education program.
2.Credit is accepted in transfer for those courses in which the student
has received the equivalent of a “C” grade or better and which are applicable to the degree to which he/she aspires.
3.A maximum of sixty (60) semester hours of credit will be accepted in
transfer.
NOTE: Always confer with an advisor at LCCC before you sign up for courses
each semester, or schedule an appointment with an admission counselor at
King’s to find out the specific major requirements. Graduation requirements for King’s College
The requirement for the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science is
the completion of a minimum of one hundred and twenty (120) semester hours
of credit, (some majors require more than 120 semester credit hours for the
student to be eligible to receive a degree) which must include all specific course
requirements. A student is expected to earn at least sixty (60) semester hours
of credit at King’s College, and this must include the work of the senior year
and a greater portion of the major sequence as determined by the department
chairpersons. The remainder of the student’s 120 credit hours will include various courses making up the core curriculum.
