Below are resources that both USC Lancaster advisors and students may use during advising conversations when selecting courses for next semester. These resources can be used to guide decisions and should not be considered official. Once a student determines where they plan to transfer, we recommend the student reaches out to a transfer admissions counselor or advisor at that next institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm with their next institution how credits will transfer from USC Lancaster to that institution. USC Lancaster advisors cannot confirm how credits will transfer to another institution, but they can give recommendations using a course equivalency table and an institution’s degree requirements as listed online.

For the most up-to-date and accurate degree requirements, always refer to the institution’s academic bulletin or catalog for the most recent academic year.
