STUDENT TRANSFER POLICY
Students who have a valid, verifiable transcript from another massage school may transfer established credits to be applied toward the 500-hour program and receive partial tuition credit. Only transfers from other massage schools will be accepted.

Credits submitted for transfer must have been awarded within the last 24 months and must be the equivalent of the subject matter of the LIMT course(s). The appropriateness of subject matter will be determined by the Institute’s Admission’s Director. The student requesting the transfer of hours may be asked to submit a school catalog, course content and descriptions.

Credits submitted for transfer must be in the form of an official transcript bearing the providing school’s letterhead with contact information, an embossed school seal and/or official signature, and hourly breakdown of classes by credits and grades. Credits submitted for transfer must have a grade of “P” for pass, or the minimum of a letter grade “C”, or numerical equivalent of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

A non-refundable transcript evaluation fee of $100 is to be submitted with the transcript and request for credit transfer. If the student decides to enroll after the transcript evaluation is completed, this fee will be applied to the student’s tuition. If the student decides not to enroll, the evaluation fee is forfeited. This fee must be submitted with the transcript and a completed admissions application. Please submit the request at least 30 days prior to the start of class.

LIMT has the right to refuse to accept transcripts from schools that have a history of complaints with their State Licensing Body or their State Board of Massage Therapy. LIMT has the right to refuse to accept transcripts that do not clearly delineate class clock hours.
