Application should be made well in advance, two or three months before the proposed enrollment date. Students are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible in order to facilitate the early advisement process.

The application form should be submitted before transcripts are sent. Transcripts normally should be sent after all work to be transferred is completed. Temporary admission will be granted if the time interval is limited between the end of a semester elsewhere and the beginning of the subsequent semester at Lamar State College-Orange. In this event, a copy of the last grade report will be required. All credentials must be on file within four weeks after the first class or the student may be withdrawn. Students on temporary admission who are subsequently found to be ineligible for admission will be withdrawn.

In some cases, questions regarding transfer need to be clarified while work is still in progress at another institution. Under these circumstances the partial transcript should be submitted and a complete transcript furnished by the end of the semester.
