Transfer Admission (A-44)
Original Implementation: September 8, 1978
Last Revision: July 10, 2007
Students who have previously attended a regionally accredited institution must apply as transfer students.
Transfer applicants who have satisfactorily completed fewer than 15 semester hours of transferable college credit must have an overall 2.0 grade point average on all transferable work attempted and must also satisfy eligibility requirements for first-semester freshmen. Transfer applicants who have completed more than 15 semester hours must:
- Not currently be on suspension from another educational institution, and
- Have an earned grade point average of at least 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale) on all transferable work.
Although transfer students with less than a 2.00 grade point average are not eligible for admission into the fall or spring semesters, those who are not currently on academic suspension at another institution are eligible for provisional admission to the summer semester. Summer provisional students who complete up to nine semester hours, excluding developmental courses, of work as approved by their academic dean and earn at least a 2.00 grade point average on all work attempted may be eligible to enroll for the following semester.
Applicants who are denied admission as transfer students may appeal for admission through the Transfer Appeals Program. Appeals are initiated in the office of admissions by filing the appropriate materials. Appeals are reviewed by the admission appeals committee. Following the review of appeals, the committee submits recommendations to the executive director of enrollment management and the provost and vice president for academic affairs for final decision. Students admitted through this procedure are assigned to the Academic Advising Center for advisement.
