McHenry Community College Transfer Guide
This information is a guide and does not represent an official agreement
Lakeview requires 60 credit hours in general education and prerequisite courses, which must be completed before beginning the nursing program. It is necessary to fulfill most of this coursework at another institution and transfer credit hours to Lakeview. Additional coursework may be required, as some institutions may require prerequisites before enrolling in courses listed below. The credit hours listed reflect minimum Lakeview requirements and may not reflect each course's actual credit hours. Furthermore, due to varying credit hours for transfer courses, students may be required to complete additional coursework to fulfill the 60-credit-hour general education requirements.

The only two courses accepted are: The American Heart Association – Basic Life Support (CPR and AED Program) – OR – The American Red Cross – Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers. Ideally, this should be as close to the Lakeview start date as possible.
