Degree Seeking

Undergraduate students who plan to seek a degree or complete the requirements for a pre-professional program may be admitted under one of the following options.

Undergraduate Transfer Admission

Students who have previously been enrolled in a college or university, other than as a concurrent or dual credit student, may be admitted to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ as a transfer student. To be considered for transfer admission, applicants must submit the following:

  1. Completed application for admission.
  2. Application fee of $35 (non-refundable).
  3. Official transcripts from each institution attended. It is the student’s responsibility to provide official transcripts of all postsecondary work completed as of the date of the application. Failure to disclose all colleges attended is considered grounds for denial of admission into 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ as well as immediate suspension.
  4. Applicants placed on academic suspension or probation at any college within five years from the date of application must submit a letter explaining those circumstances. Applicants must be eligible to re-enter institutions previously attended.
  5. Applicants with fewer than 24 transcripted college hours will be required to submit an official high school transcript or GED.

Students meeting one of the following criteria will be admitted to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ:

  • Cumulative college GPA of at least 1.6 if fewer than 60 transcripted hours
  • Cumulative college GPA of at least 2.0 if more than 60 transcripted hours
  • Cumulative college GPA of 1.6 and a final high school GPA of 2.0 or proof of GED if fewer than 24 transcripted college hours

 

Transfer students not meeting the above criteria may be considered for admission at the discretion of the university’s Admission Committee. After consideration of all documentation required for review, the committee may:

  1. Admit the student.
  2. Admit the student with entrance probation stipulations such as limiting the number of courses taken in the first session, repeating previously failed coursework, etc. The Admission Committee may also recommend course placement testing as a part of this option. These tests are designed to help ensure academic success by identifying subject areas that need preparatory coursework.
  3. Deny admission.
  4. Defer admission and require an interview or writing sample.
