Degree completion programs are intended primarily for adult students with prior college credit. The Levin College accepts academic and technical credits from regionally accredited institutions. Evening and Saturday classes, Web classes, and Credit for Life Experience are some of the means by which the College helps adults complete Bachelor's degrees in a reasonable amount of time.
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.

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).
