Transfer Agreements
The General Studies degree is used for students seeking to transfer to a variety of other four-year degrees. Additionally, the Associate of Arts Louisiana Transfer, Associate of Science Louisiana Transfer are designed for students seeking to transfer in specific areas to Louisiana public four-year colleges and universities. SLCC also participates in the statewide transfer program administered by the Board of Regents which provides transfer matrices for general education courses, business courses, and natural science courses. This matrix lists the equivalent courses offered by all public higher education institutions in the State. Students have access to the matrix through on-line resources at http://www.regents.la.gov
SLCC is continually working to establish clear pathways for students through articulation and 2 plus 2 transfer agreements. Currently SLCC has specific pathway transfer agreements with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Northwestern State University.

Resource rooms are located at the other instructional sites. Through these facilities students are able to access books, online journals and other online learning resources. Seating space for individual and group study is provided throughout the libraries and resource rooms. Computer lab space is also available.
SLCC is a member of the Louisiana Library Network Consortium (LOUIS); a consortium of all Louisiana post-secondary academic libraries. The support staff of LOUIS, located in Baton Rouge, provides central support services to all LOUIS members. These services include: provision of library automation services, licensing of full-text electronic resources and training and consulting to member libraries.
Through use of the LOUIS library card, SLCC patrons are entitled to check out library materials from any Louisiana college or university library.
Library materials are available to students and faculty at all SLCC campuses and sites through interlibrary loan. Interlibrary loan with other Louisiana libraries is available through a statewide courier system. Accessibility to library materials world-wide is available through the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), a worldwide library cooperative.
Distance education students have access to all of the LOUIS electronic resources in addition to other electronic resources licensed individually by SLCC. Visit http://solacc.edu/library for more information.
Learning Foundations Courses
The Learning Foundation courses include courses and support services designed to prepare students for college-level studies. These developmental studies include courses and individualized instruction in writing skills, quantitative skills, and academic and personal skills.
Students who score below the minimum required ACT scores, the ACT Compass or appropriate placement test scores are offered semester-length developmental courses in English and Mathematics. Based upon placement test results, a degree-seeking student must take one or more of these developmental courses, during the first semester enrolled, if taking more than four (4) semester hours. If a student is required to take two developmental courses, that student, if degree-seeking and enrolled full time, must enroll in those developmental courses during the first semester enrolled. A student who is placed in more than one developmental course may not enroll in more than fifteen (15) total semester hours. Developmental education courses will not satisfy any requirement for degree programs.
The SFSE course is required for all first time students and all students transferring into SLCC with fewer than 24 college-level credit hours and/or less than a cumulative GPA of 2.0. This course must be taken within the first two semesters at SLCC. A grade of C or higher is required for credit. This course cannot count as one of the 5 general education courses in the AAS degrees nor can it count as any specific elective in ANY degree (for example, it is not a humanities nor a social science). It can only count towards a degree if it fits as a “free” elective or part of the core requirements.
