Narrative:   

According to the South Louisiana Community College (SLCC) Catalog, “Students must have earned at least 25% of their semester hours required for the degree through instruction offered at SLCC.  This translates into a minimum of 15-18 hours for the associate degree.  (Non-traditional credits awarded by SLCC may not be used to meet this requirement except for credit earned through credit by examination)”.

The Registrar provides a Graduate Credit Report to the Dean of Instruction and Effectiveness. The list shows the credits earned by each graduate and the percentage of credits completed at SLCC.
