Admission of Transfer Students
An applicant who has previously attended another regionally or Council on Occupational Education accredited postsecondary institution will be considered a transfer student and will be required to furnish official transcripts of all work attempted at all said institutions.
Transfer students who meet requirements for admission to courses creditable toward an associate degree shall be classified as “Degree-Eligible” students. Transfer students who do not meet requirements shall be classified as “Non-Degree-Eligible” students.
Applicants who have been suspended from or are otherwise unable to re-enroll in another institution for academic or disciplinary reasons will not be considered for admission except upon appeal to the Registrar.
Unconditional Admission of Transfer Students
A transfer student must have submitted to the College an application for admission and official transcripts from all regionally or Council on Occupational Education accredited postsecondary institutions attended and, as designated by the College, any other documents required for first-time college students.
An applicant who has completed a baccalaureate degree will be required to submit only the transcript from the institution granting the baccalaureate degree.
Conditional Admission of Transfer Students
A transfer student who does not have on file official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions attended and any additional documents required by the institution may be granted conditional admission. No transfer student shall be allowed to enroll for a second semester unless all required admissions records have been received by the College prior to registration for the second semester.
Initial Academic Status of Transfer Students
A transfer student whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale will be admitted on clear academic status.
A transfer student who is admitted on clear academic status is subject to the same standards of academic progress as native students. Grades accrued at other regionally accredited postsecondary institutions are not included in GPA calculation. A transfer student whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will be admitted on Academic Probation. The student’s transcript will read “ADMITTED ON ACADEMIC PROBATION.”
A transfer student who is admitted on Academic Probation retains that status until having attempted at least twelve (12) credit hours at the institution. If, at the conclusion of the semester in which the student attempted a total of twelve (12) or more credit hours at the institution, their cumulative GPA at the institution is below 1.5, they are suspended for one semester. The transcript will read SUSPENDED—ONE SEMESTER.
A transfer student’s status is clear if at the conclusion of the semester in which he has been admitted on academic probation he has attempted a total of twelve (12) or more credit hours at the institution with a cumulative GPA 1.5 or above.
An applicant who has been academically suspended from another regionally or Council on Occupational Education accredited postsecondary institution may be admitted as a transfer student only after following the appeal process established at the College for native students who have been academically suspended. If the transfer student is admitted upon appeal, the student will enter the institution on Academic Probation. The transcript will read “ADMITTED UPON APPEAL—ACADEMIC PROBATION.”
