PLGC - Paralegal Studies Certificate

Up to nine PLG credits will be accepted for transfer into LCCC’s PLG program from an ABA-approved program. PLG 200 must be completed at LCCC. PLG credit by assessment is limited to three credits. Total PLG transfer credit and credit by assessment are limited to nine credits. Students entering the program should have basic keyboarding skills and the ability to type 40 wpm. If a student does not have these skills, the student should enroll in AOT 112, 113, and 114 in the first semester of admission to the program. If you elect an internship, Paralegal Studies students are responsible for locating and selecting internship placement sites. Students are responsible for presenting the credential levels required by the internship site. It is the sole discretion of the internship site and future employers as to what level of credentialing is required by the position roles. Students who possess a “record” status may experience limitations in available internship placements and future employment in the paralegal field. *The student must select six credits with a PLG prefix from the following list: PLG 125, 135, 225, 227, 228, 230, 235, 240, 250, or 252. The other program elective must be selected from the above list or RES 110, or any other credit course that is approved by the Paralegal Studies coordinator.
