Articulation agreements

Policies addressing the transfer of credits are available in the Academic Catalog, as well as the transfer students page.

Lynn University publicly discloses and makes available a list of institutions with which it has articulation agreements. Lynn University has articulation agreements with the following institutions:

• All universities and colleges in the state of Florida system
• Kaplan University
• Miami Dade College
• St. Thomas University

In order to resolve complaints and grievances in an appropriate, fair and consistent manner, the university has included a description of various grievances procedures within the Academic Catalog and in the university policies. The academic grievance policy was designed by Lynn University to afford students an opportunity to formally grieve academic-related complaints. The student affairs policies, including the Student Code of Conduct and the Non-Academic Student Grievances Policy, were designed by Lynn University to allow students to formally grieve non-academic-related complaints. A student who wishes to file a grievance of an academic nature should follow the grievances policies outlined in the Academic Catalog. A student who wishes to file a grievance of a non-academic nature should follow the grievance policies outlined in the student affairs policies.

Students with grievances that are not covered under the academic grievance policy in the academic catalog or the various grievance policies outlined in the Student Affairs Policies are encouraged to first seek to resolve complaints through normal administrative channels and/or by taking steps to informally discuss the issue directly with the involved individual(s). If there is no resolution, a formal complaint may be submitted in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the complaint, they may contact:

• State contacts
  The Department of Education, Office of Articulation serves as the state's primary point of contact for addressing questions and concerns from private school officials and program offices.
  • Office of Articulation
    Department of Education

    + 1 850-245-0427

Online and/or distance education students, who are still not satisfied with the complaint outcome, who have completed the internal institutional grievance process and the applicable state grievance process, may appeal non-instructional complaints to the FL-SARA PRDEC Council at [email protected]. For additional information on the complaint process, please visit the FL-SARA Complaint Process page.

Unresolved complaints may also be filed with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the university’s regional accrediting agency, once all internal avenues have been exhausted. Our university policies and SACSCOC-related complaints detail informal and formal reporting options. Contact the SACSCOC at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, or call +1 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Lynn University.
