Transferring to Lakehead from a College

Lakehead University offers you several ways to turn your college studies into a degree. If you are unsure about what option is the best for you, follow these steps to see what you are eligible for:

Step 1: Pathways

First, we encourage you to explore our college transfer pathways. These options allow you to turn your diploma into a degree in a reasonable amount of time. See if your diploma has a pathway to a degree. If it does not, do not worry! 

Step 2: Entry with Transfer Credit

In some cases, we may not have a pathway for your credential. That is okay! Lakehead offers college transfer students a generous amount of transfer credit. In some cases, students can receive up to two years of credit for their college studies. Learn more about gaining entry to most degree programs with transfer credit.
