First-time freshmen and some transfer students can take advance credit tests to earn credit for college classes. Your ACT score determines whether you are eligible to take certain advance credit exams.

If you were in dual enrollment or took classes at another Å·ÃÀÈý¼¶Æ¬ before or while you were a student here, request that your transcripts are sent to UL Lafayette’s Office of the Registrar from your other institution.

If you were in dual enrollment at UL Lafayette before coming here as a freshman, your transcript will already be on file.
