Lindenwood University (LU) and St. Charles Community College (SCC) are coming together to create a smoother and more seamless transfer process for students.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, LU President Dr. John Porter and SCC President. Dr. Barbara Kavalier signed a Memorandum of Agreement, strengthening the relationship between the two institutions and expanding the number of transferable courses. 

“This is a great opportunity for SCC students to continue their education right here in St. Charles County,” said Dr. Kavalier. “By combining the resources of our institutions, students will benefit from a much smoother transition process.”

“We are thrilled to enter into this meaningful agreement with St. Charles Community College,” said Dr. John Porter, Lindenwood University president. “This will open doors for excellent students in our community and enrich both campuses in many ways.”

The agreement will develop dual admissions and reverse transfer processes between LU and SCC and ensure transferability of courses within students' degree programs.

Additionally, LU has provided special tuition rates for SCC graduates with up to $12,000 in scholarships.
