Transfer of Credit Policy
General Statement
Oglala Lakota College will accept credits in transfer from institutions accredited y the North
Central Association of Schools and Colleges or other regional higher education accrediting
associations as they apply to core and degree requirements at Oglala Lakota College. Credits
transferred are not calculated into GPA.
Transfer Students
Students transferring from other colleges may be accepted by Oglala Lakota College. For a
student to receive credit from work taken at another college, that student must have an official
transcript of his/her work sent directly to the Registrar.
1. A transfer applicant shall be expected to have maintained a “C” average (2.0 grade
point average), for all college work previously attempted. However, a student may be
admitted on probationary status.
2. Transferring students must designate a degree goal and major at the associate or
baccalaureate level. The only transfers necessary would be those that are applicable to
the specific degree status sheet selected. Credit older than ten years from the date of
transfer is not transferable to OLC.
3. Any transferring students with an earned baccalaureate degree or higher degree from a
nationally recognized, accredited institution of higher education who is seeking an
additional baccalaureate would only have to do the following. The student will meet
with the appropriate department chairperson to negotiate only those courses necessary
to achieve award of another degree/diploma in the designated major. In addition to
those courses negotiated with the department chairperson, the student will also need to
meet the other two criteria for graduation from OLC; a minimum of thirty credit hours
from OLC which would include the Lakota Studies requirement for the chosen degree
program.
4. International students must present documentation of a valid visa/citizen status which
will allow active enrollment. Oglala Lakota College does not endorse, support, or initiate
vise application. International transcript material must be accredited and translated
relevant to United States academic standards.
