Students who have earned Associate of Applied Business (AAB) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees in a number of fields can transfer their technical credits and complete a BA in a related area. The Levin College also welcomes transfer students with or without associate's degrees.

The Levin College offers program through the University Partnership at Lorain County Community College and Lakeland Community College. The partnership program allows students to enroll at the community college to complete lower-division, General Education requirements. At the same time, students enroll at Cleveland State University and take major field and college requirements.

Application Procedure:

• Apply for admission to Cleveland State University.
• Submit the $30.00 application fee.
• Complete the "Partnership Application Supplement Form" and submit it with the application.
• Follow application and enrollment procedures for either Lakeland Community College or Lorain County Community College.

Acceptance of Transfer Credit:
An official transcript of all post-high school institutions attended must be submitted to:
Cleveland State University
Office of the University Registrar
Application Processing Center
2121 Euclid Ave., UC 400
Cleveland, OH 44115-2214

As you complete classes at Lakeland or Lorain County Community College, an official transcript of your grades will be sent to the Cleveland State Registrar's Office so that these classes can be added to your CSU record.

All college-level classes graded C- or better will transfer. College-level classes graded D or better will transfer for those holding an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS).

Financial Aid:
University Partnership students apply for Financial Aid through Cleveland State University. Each semester a partnership student enrolls at both CSU and the community college, he or she must complete a Consortium Agreement and have it signed by an academic advisor. CSU will take into account the student's total number of registered hours in awarding aid.

Cleveland State University will not pay tuition to Lakeland Community College or Lorain County Community College; partnership students will need to make arrangements with those institutions for payment of tuition and fees.

The Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs conducts an Assessment and Accreditation of Prior Learning Experience (AAPLE) Program which recognizes that learning takes place in settings other than the classroom and is designed to award academic credit for substantial previous learning experiences. In preparation for receiving this credit, students enroll in a two-credit hour course: UST 190* (Analysis of Experiential Learning in Urban Studies).
