Admission Of Transfer
Students
All of the regulations
applicable to students seeking admission as beginning freshmen are applicable
to transfer students subject to the following interpretations:
A transfer student is one who has terminated enrollment
at one institution and seeks admission to another. Students may not disregard
their records at other institutions. Failure to report previous college attendance
is considered to be sufficient cause for expulsion from this college and
cancellation of any credits earned.
A transfer applicant must arrange for official
transcripts of all previous college work to be sent to the Office of
Admissions, which will determine the applicant’s qualifications for admission
on the basis of these transcripts. Transfer students are normally acceptable
for admission if they are eligible to continue at or to return to their sending
institution.
An applicant, pursuing a pre-baccalaureate/transfer
degree, who is transferring from an institution or
program that did not require the College Preparatory Curriculum shall submit a
transcript of secondary school credits unless the applicant has
• an associate degree
• has completed 30 semester credit hours of accepted
transfer core curriculum credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA and has completed
Learning Support and CPC deficiency requirements.
Applicants with more than 30
transferable semester hours must meet all of the prevailing Learning Support
requirements (i.e., Learning Support and CPC deficiency make-up courses)
applicable to freshmen at the sending institutions which are also applicable at
ABAC prior to being granted admission at ABAC for freshman admissions.
Students with fewer than 30
transferable semester credit hours must meet the freshman admission
requirements. While deficiencies in science, social science, and foreign
language should be satisfied during the student’s first semester of enrollment,
students transferring from programs not requiring the College Preparatory
Curriculum must satisfy these deficiencies before earning 20 hours of college
level credit.
Transfer students admitted as
Limited Admissions students (including Presidential Exceptions) who have CPC
deficiencies documented from another University System institution shall be
required to satisfy those deficiencies by specific content area in the same
manner as Limited Admission students in the Limited Admissions area.
Students who have earned a
career associate degree may apply for admission to a program leading to the
baccalaureate degree. These students are required to meet the regular freshman
admission requirements. They will not be held to CPC requirements. Students who
have not completed a career degree or certificate may apply for admission to a
program leading to the baccalaureate degree if they meet regular or limited
admission requirements.
