Transfer Your Credits

Only accredited community college and university credits are accepted. UL Lafayette does not accept credits from vocational, special program or business schools.

All courses and grades from an accredited college or university will transfer and be used in your total hours attempted, earned and the cumulative GPA. These totals will be used for financial aid status, scholarship requirements and academic status. However, all credits will not necessarily satisfy the requirements for your specific major. Transferable credits for degree requirements will be determined by the dean's office of your major at the beginning of your first semester at UL Lafayette.

For an unofficial evaluation of what credits will count in your degree program at UL Lafayette, you can email, fax or mail a student copy of your transcript to:

Catalog of Transfer Credit

The courses in the catalog of transfer credit reflect those that have been evaluated by academic Colleges or Departments at UL for transfer equivalency. The catalog should be used as a resource for students planning to transfer to the University. If you do not find your institution and/or course listed, it is possible that a course has not been previously evaluated and entered into the catalog. The course evaluation process is ongoing and is not an exclusive list of all colleges or transferable courses. Please note that the UL evaluation of credit does not imply that other institutions will reciprocate the evaluation.

Catalog of Transfer Credit

Evaluated course but no direct equivalent - If a course has no UL direct equivalent but is transferable to the University as an elective by title.

Transfer Credits from LSMSA

Since 2009, University of Louisiana at Lafayette has had an articulation agreement with the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts to award students college credit in select courses. Any student at LSMSA can take the approved courses and earn UL Lafayette credit. The requirements for the select courses are outlined in the agreement.

Explore the University

We are Ragin' Cajuns

Our students come from across the state and nation — and from more than 77 foreign countries. But here at UL Lafayette, we're all Ragin' Cajuns.

Community Spirit

As members of the campus community, we share great food and music and fresh ideas, too. Students are engaged in fun activities and interdisciplinary studies.

3,200 of us—including all freshmen—live on campus

Our campus is a neighborhood with riveting classes, energizing arts, ragin’ sports, and over 200 student organizations.

Join, serve, play

From AmeriCorps to the Ragin’ Jazz dance team, 26 Greek organizations to the Nepal Students’ Association, we have an organization for you to make a difference.

Enjoy Our Neighborhood

Before, after, and between classes, stroll beneath 100-year-old oaks or visit Cypress Lake, a managed wetland on campus. Just don't feed the alligators!

Pass a Good Time

Our Cajun culture embraces hard work and dedication, but we also like to play and enjoy time together. Dancing, music, and good food are always in abundance here. So come by and, as we like to say, pass a good time.

Something Extra

During Lagniappe Week, take a break from studying. Have some well-deserved fun and race across the lake. FYI: lagniappe means "an extra or unexpected gift."

Peel, eat, love

Lagniappe Week also means a serving of boiled crawfish. Every year, we prepare more than 15,000 pounds of Louisiana's tasty crustacean.

Red rules

We know the rules! Show your Ragin' Cajun spirit and wear red every Friday. Students, faculty and staff — just about everyone in town — are proud to wear red.

Hot Property

A major campus thoroughfare is known as Wear Red Avenue — just one of the hot spots on campus.

Every day is a red-letter day

That’s because our student-athletes are impressive competitors on the field and in the classroom. More than half have a 3.0 GPA or higher and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team has the highest GPA in the SunBelt conference.
