PLEASE NOTE:
Once you have earned 60 credits at a community (2-year) college or combination of community colleges, you may not transfer any additional credits from that community college or combination of community colleges toward the 120 credits needed to graduate, even though those additonal courses may be used to fill Lehman graduation requirements.
You may transfer in no more than ninety credits from ANY college or combination of colleges. Students who transfer in sixty credit from a community college or collection of community colleges may transfer in no more than thirty additional credits from a senior (4-year) college.
