Cedar Crest College and Lehigh Carbon Community College signed an agreement May 23 for dual admissions. The agreement allows students pursuing an associate in arts or an associate in science degree at LCCC to be admitted as a junior to Cedar Crest College.

More than 200 traditional aged students and almost 600 in the school of Adult and Graduate Education transfer to Cedar Crest from community colleges. The dual admission agreement makes the process and transition smoother for students and the institutions, paving the way for courses and credits to seamlessly transfer from LCCC to Cedar Crest.

Dual admission students will need to maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA, enroll at Cedar Crest within one year of graduation from LCCC, and complete all other admissions requirements.

Students who studied at LCCC who apply and are accepted to Cedar Crest College through the dual admission agreement are able to attend informational advising sessions with Cedar Crest faculty and staff and get access to campus events including theater productions, concert, recitals, student government and athletic events.

Participating in the ceremony in the 1867 Room of Tompkins College Center were Carmen Ambar, President, Cedar Crest College; Dr. Ann D. Bieber, President, Lehigh Carbon Community College; Elizabeth Meade, PhD. Provost, Cedar Crest College; Cindy Haney, Vice President for Enrollment Management, LCCC; Dr. Thomas W. Meyer, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Services and Student Development, LCCC and students.
