Important Information for Transfer Students

Transfer students must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA to retain the offer of admissions. Students who fall below a 2.0 may have to take summer classes to improve their GPA or the offer of admission may be rescinded. For majors that have higher admission criteria, students who fall below the required cumulative GPA will have the option of changing their major. Students who elect to not change their major may have their offer of admissions rescinded. Education majors who are accepted with fewer than 48 credits but complete 48 or more credits prior to the start of the term must meet the transfer admissions requirements for education. If the requirements are not met, students will have the option to change their major or the offer of admission will be rescinded. Students registered for education classes who no longer meet the admission criteria will have their education classes dropped. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they meet the transfer admissions requirements for the education majors.
