The Transfer Center, The Career Center, and The Student Life Office are very essential for students who want to further their education and to build a social life on and off the college campus, and help students move toward their long term career goals.

The Transfer Center works with students to help create transfer strategies and to develop an approach to the transfer process. Students can transfer to a four-year college or university after completing at least 60 semester transferable units. Universities have lower-division general education and major requirements which can be fulfilled at LMC prior to transferring. Those students eligible for admission from high school may apply to transfer before junior status. There are workshops all throughout the fall and spring semesters to help students become knowledgeable of how to transfer; they're special programs, which could be beneficial for students that are looking forward to transferring to a 4 year University.
