LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
                                  TRANSFER GUIDE

Curriculum:  Photography, Brooks Institute of Photography
Curriculum Code: 0648                                                           

This transfer guide represents an articulation (partnership) agreement 
between Lansing Community College (LCC) and Brooks Institute of Photography 
(BIP), to facilitate the transfer of students graduating from LCC into the 
ninth session of the Bachelor of Arts Degree Program in photography at BIP.  
The conditions and stipulations of the agreement are listed below.

1.  Students must graduate from the Lansing Community College photography 
    program with an associate degree in photography.
2.  The student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0
3.  Student must present an acceptable portfolio.
4.  Lansing Community College students must have proven competency and 
    knowledge of the 4x5 view camera.  This competency will be judged via
    review of their college transcript of courses successfully completed
    and a portfolio review of their 4x5 camera images.
5.  Since most students will be lacking some of the general education and 
    business curriculum requirements, interested applicants are encouraged
    to take appropriate courses at Lansing Community College or another 
    accredited educational institution before arriving.
6.  Students following this LCC/Brooks Institute Articulation Agreement 
    will start in the Upper Division unless they choose to take classes in 
    the Lower Division that cover material they have not previously studied.
7.  Although BIP will transfer credits from the science class taken to 
    fulfill the associate degree, it is strongly recommended that the choice
    of this science class include one that teaches the physics of light and 
    optics (PHYS 222).
8.  Lansing Community College students who have taken course work applicable
    to Upper Division courses at BIP will have a Brooks Institute of Photo-
    graphy faculty member determine the applicability of those courses to the
    BIP major requirements. However, it is expected that all incoming students
    from Lansing Community College will spend a minimum of 10 (eight week) 
    sessions in residence at BIP as full-time enrolled students.  The courses 
    taken in residence must include those that meet the major requirements, 
    and other general education and business classes to meet the graduation 
    requirements.
9.  Students wishing to graduate as a BIP Digital Media major, a course of 
    study that encompasses still photography, film and video, and digital 
    imaging, may have to extend their stay up to two sessions to meet 
    graduation requirements.
10. Students seeking an LCC associate degree must fulfill specific graduation
    requirements including the LCC general education core requirements.  
    See the LCC Catalog for additional details.
