Transfer Students

1. Transfer applicants who have earned fewer than 30 semester hours of transferable credit must comply with both freshman and transfer admission requirements.

2. Transfer applicants must present a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or above (based on a 4.00 scale) on all work attempted and must be in "good standing" at the last institution attended in order to be admitted in "good standing".

3. Transfer applicants whose cumulative grade-point average is below 2.00 may be considered for admission and placed on academic probation.

4. Transfer applicants whose academic status was probation, exclusion, or dismissal when last enrolled at any institution will, if admitted, be placed on academic probation.

5. Transfer applicants who have more than 30 transferable semester hours and who have been excluded from a collegiate institution may not be considered for regular admission unless they are academically eligible to return to the college they last attended.

6. Transfer applicants must provide evidence of immunization by completing the Immunization form provided by the Office of Admissions.

Evaluations of transfer credit are mailed to applicants prior to the first class day as long as the admissions file was complete by the application deadline.  Otherwise, evaluations of transfer credit will be mailed to students during the first semester of enrollment.

Students who have received an official transfer evaluation and have questions regarding course transfer equivalencies should contact the Office of the Registrar at (478) 471-2853. Questions regarding the application of transferred course work into a particular degree program should be directed to the students' academic department.
