Statement Re: Potential transfer of students currently enrolled at LUCC TO: Chief Executive Officers of CCE/COA accredited programs FROM: Joseph Brimhall, D.C., COA Chairman SUBJECT: Information regarding transfer admission of students currently enrolled in a program where CCE accreditation has ended during the current term DATE: October 21, 2002 The CCE Executive Office is experiencing a significant volume of inquiries regarding potential transfer to CCE/COA accredited programs by students currently enrolled in a term of study at Life University College of Chiropractic (LUCC). Due to the fact that LUCC accreditation by CCE ended yesterday, the COA is providing the following information with the hope that it will be helpful to all involved. Given the provisions of the CCE Standards and appropriate latitude available to CCE/COA accredited programs in making admissions decisions, transfer of credits earned during the current LUCC term is possible. However, the COA cautions that, before making admission decisions regarding such transfers, the admitting program must carefully evaluate the content of each of the courses proposed for transfer and assure its equivalency with the corresponding course content in the admitting program. It is strongly recommended that each transfer student be advised regarding the potential difficulties in obtaining licensure in some jurisdictions due to the somewhat unusual nature of this situation, and that the admitting program secure a signed understanding (waiver of responsibility) in that regard. We trust that you find this information helpful. c: Dr. Deborah Pogrelis, Dean, LUCC Members of the COA Members of the CCE Board of Directors Dr. Paul D. Walker, Executive Vice President
