A teach-out is a formal agreement between Lourdes University and a partner institution that is designed to make your transition as smooth as possible. While your specific Lourdes scholarships won’t carry over directly, teach-out agreements require that your out-of-pocket tuition and fee costs remain the same as what you are currently paying at Lourdes. Housing and food costs, if you plan to live on campus, will vary by institution. This option also ensures seamless credit transfer and places you in the same or similar program so your graduation timeline stays on track. Students in good academic standing are guaranteed admission through this agreement. Our primary teach-out partner is the University of Toledo, and we are actively working with additional schools who want to be teach-out partners.

We have been approached by a number of schools who are interested in becoming transfer partners with Lourdes. While the specific benefits will vary depending on the institution, students who choose this path can expect advantages such as streamlined credit transfer and potentially automatic acceptance if you are in good academic standing. As partner agreements are finalized, we will share the details so you can evaluate which school might be the right fit for you.

You are also welcome to explore institutions entirely on your own. In this case, you would go through each school’s standard admissions process, and credit transfer decisions would be made by the receiving institution based on your transcript. We will make sure you have everything you need, including transcripts, records, and documentation, to make that process as straightforward as possible.
