HOW TO’S LEE HALLDocumentation of Credit at OrientationOcial reports or transcripts of any credit earned from another institution must be submitted to UL in order to have the credits transferred. Please keep in mind that processing of credit can take time. Sometimes, a student’s credit from another institution is still being processed by the time they attend Orientation, so the credit is not yet reected on their UL transcript. To ensure that your student has an accurate academic advising session, please remind them to bring printed, unocial copies of their transcripts to Orientation. College, AP, & CLEP CreditDual Enrollment Credit cannot be awarded based on a high school transcript. Students must submit an ocial college transcript to receive university credit. College transcripts can be sent to etranscripts@louisiana.edu or can be mailed to the UL Lafayette Oce of Admissions at P.O. Box 41210 Lafayette, LA 70504. AP & CLEP Credit must be provided by the organization itself, not students or parents. Visit those respective websites to request that the credits be sent to UL Lafayette.
