Transfer Students
Applicants are considered transfer students when they present coursework from regionally accredited two-year or four-year institutions, unless all hours were earned in college courses while still in high school.
- Students who have attempted at least 30 semester hours in courses at accredited institutions are admissible in good standing, provided they have earned a minimum cumulative 2.0 (C) GPA in such coursework at the previous accredited school(s) attended.
- All transfer students who have attempted fewer than 30 semester hours must also meet the high school admission requirements as described under the appropriate first-year student category.
