Credit Toward Academic Degrees for LOMA Courses
Over 350 post-secondary educational institutions in the United States, Canada, and other countries have in the past granted thousands of learners credit for the LOMA courses they have successfully completed.
Credit acceptance is not limited to these listed colleges and universities, nor is credit guaranteed at these institutions. Each educational institution grants credit at its own discretion based on its current curriculum and policies.
A learner who would like academic credit to be granted for LOMA courses should notify the appropriate school official and apply for credit at the time of formal application for admission to or for further study at the institution. The student should also request an official transcript from LOMA.
