Technical College Credit

 

Students who have attended a campus of the Louisiana Technical College since January 1992

may apply for credits based on work completed at the LTC prior to their enrolling at Delgado

Community College. Faculty at Delgado Community College have reviewed the competencies

included in these clock-hour courses and have established a crosswalk for the awarding of these

credits.

 

Specific procedures have been established for the granting of college credit from non-traditional

sources:

 

1.

 

Students who were enrolled at Louisiana Technical College in 1992 or later will be

awarded credit based on their coursework at the LTC using the crosswalk established by

the faculty in the various disciplines.

 

2.

 

These credits are being awarded using the non-traditional credit procedures in place at the

College.

 

3.

 

These credits will be listed on the student’s Delgado academic transcript as “Technical

College Credit.”

 

4.

 

As with all non-traditional credit, all Technical College Credit will carry a grade of “P.”

Specific grades are awarded only for courses transferred directly from another regionally

accredited institution. Since the crosswalk for awarding credit from the LTC is based on

competencies gained in more than one LTC course rather than on a course-to-course

equivalency, it would be inappropriate to assign a letter grade for the credits awarded.

 

5.

 

Credits awarded are subject to the limitations on total hours of non-traditional credit and

hours in a student’s major as listed in the College

Catalog

.

 

6.

 

Students who wish to avail themselves of this avenue for earning credits should complete

the application form which is available in the Admissions Office.

 

7.

 

The form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar for processing.

 

Note: Students who were enrolled at the LTC-NO on July 1, 1997

,

when the institution

merged with Delgado Community College

,

will not be subject to the limits placed on the

number of hours that can be earned and used to meet degree requirements through the non-

traditional credit procedure.
